Denon Introduces the DHT-S514 Home Theater High-Fidelity Sound Bar to Transform a TV into a Sound-Rich Home Entertainment System
Mahwah, NJ (PRWEB) December 20, 2013 -- Finally there is an easy way to get a great sounding home theater experience without the need to bulk up a room with loads of equipment. Denon Electronics, a leading manufacturer of premium home and personal audio products, announces the launch of its new Denon® DHT-S514 home theater sound bar speaker system designed to envelop users in rich, room-filling sound. Simple to set up and easy to use, the DHT-S514 (MSRP: $599.00) transforms any TV into a home entertainment system, delivering a truly wide-range response including deep bass from the wireless subwoofer, and clear midranges and detailed highs from the multi-driver, high-fidelity sound bar.
Users simply connect the DHT-S514 to any television and enjoy powerful, dynamic audio from favorite TV shows, movies, games and music. It’s also equipped with aptX Bluetooth, which provides CD-quality audio streaming from any Bluetooth-equipped portable audio device, smartphone and tablet.
“When looking for great sound, our best-in-class DHT-S514 delivers it! When combined with the many great features it comes with, this unit offers an all-in-one home theater experience, perfect for the consumer who is really looking for sound quality in a sound bar. In addition to outstanding sound, it’s the answer for an easy to set up and use plug-and-play audio solution that enhances our customers’ TV viewing and listening experience,” said Danielle Kohler, product manager for Denon’s parent company, D+M Group.
Above All, High-Performance Sound
Featuring 175 watts of total system power, the DHT-S514 sound bar and wireless subwoofer together deliver true high-fidelity sound with any TV for an unmatched listening experience. As today’s flat panel TVs get thinner and thinner, so does their sound quality. In response, Denon’s audio engineers have included a host of high-performance components to deliver rich, enveloping, wide-range sound. The sound bar features dual 2-inch by 5-inch hyperbolic high-rigidity transducer (HHRT) drivers that reproduce the upper bass and midrange audio, delivering clear audio especially in the vocal range. There are also dual half-inch dome tweeters that reproduce the entire treble range, with response extending to 20 kHz.
The matching wireless subwoofer features dual 5.25-inch woofers that work in tandem to deliver the authoritative deep bass found in today’s movie and music soundtracks, and Denon’s BassTrac system ensures distortion-free bass at any listening level. The compact subwoofer can be placed horizontally or vertically for multiple installation options.
Wide Range of Connectivity Options
Televisions with a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) input equipped with audio return channel (ARC) allow users listen to audio from a source device (such as a cable or satellite box) as well as from the TV’s internal tuner. The DHT-S514 simply connects to a TV with the supplied HDMI cable, and users can enjoy audio from the set-top box as well from the TV. For TVs without ARC, the DHT-S514 connects via one of the two available digital audio connections—both optical and coaxial digital audio inputs are provided.
Users can also stream music wirelessly right to the DHT-S514 from a compatible Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone or computer that has Bluetooth A2DP capability, The system also includes aptX, state-of-the-art audio coding technology that enables high-quality music playback through Bluetooth. What’s more, we’ve included a pair of stereo analog (RCA) input jacks, along with a 3.5mm stereo input jack that lets users connect the DHT-S514 to a TV’s headphone output. The 3.5mm stereo input jack will connect a portable music player, smartphone or tablet. The audio input switching feature automatically chooses the best available audio source.
