New Denon audio systems do iPod, 802.11 music |
Denon Electronics has introduced two new audio systems which use wireless connectivity to access digital audio. The new S-32 and S-52 systems are priced at around $500 and $700 respectively.
The Denon S-32 and S-52 are part of the company’s new S-Series Networked Audio Systems. They use 802.11 wireless technology to let you access music on other home networked devices as well as pay-for streaming audio from Rhapsody digital music service. Both models also include a built-in iPod dock, with S-52 offering additional entertainment options like a built-in HD Radio tuner, slot loading CD player and XM Satellite Radio.
Denon WiFi iPod Dock |
Denon has been coming out with a number of products lately with one of the cooler ones being this WiFi iPod dock. The small round docking station connects to your home theater components via RCA and S-Video to let you stream music and pictures to them wirelessly from your PC, or from the iPod that’s docked in it.
Controlling the device is done through an included remote control and can be visually navigated on-screen through your connected television, which will also show information on the current track playing and can control your iPod when docked. The dock is compatible with any 3rd generation iPod on up including iPod video, iPod Nano and iPod Mini and will also charge the devices when connected.
The WiFi iPod dock is available in colors of gloss white or black and will be available in September for $229.99

Denon X-SPACE Surround Bar |
Denon’s launched a new surround sound speaker system that they say will produce great quality surround sound without having to run speaker wire through your walls or resort to so-so quality wireless systems.
The Denon DHT-FS3 X-SPACE Surround Bar is a single bar that puts out 150 watts using six speaker drivers and seven digital amplifiers along with a matching shiny black subwoofer to put out the additional base that the bar alone doesn’t. TechDigest is also reporting that Denon will be launching another piece in September to bring WiFi audio streaming to the speaker system, but until then you can get the X-SPACE surround bar for a little over $1400.
