Denon unveils heos wireless speakers with dolby atmos music
Denon has launched three new wireless speakers that integrate the HEOS platform and support Dolby Atmos Music. Dubbed the Home 200, Home 400, and Home 600, these compact multi-room speakers aim directly at the jugular of brands like Sonos and Wiim. With these new offerings, Denon targets one of the fastest-growing categories in home audio: compact, multi-room wireless speaker systems. The trio goes on sale today, with a straightforward strategy: offer a speaker for any room in the house, from the bedroom to the living room. Crucially, the user must be in Denon's ecosystem, the HEOS platform. To achieve this, Denon has struck a balance between sound, comfort, and design. So the new Home speakers are designed to integrate seamlessly into our homes, not look like a clunky add-on.
New heos speakers for every taste
The new Denon Home series consists of three models, each designed to adapt to different listening styles and room sizes. However, they all share several key characteristics. For instance, they feature a design that blends acoustic fabric with anodized aluminum, with soft, curved edges and a selection of stone or carbon finishes that fit easily into modern spaces.
All of them come with integrated controls, offer simple setup, support stereo pairing for a wider soundstage, work as wireless surround speakers for the Denon Home Sound Bar 550, and can be paired with a compatible HEOS subwoofer for enhanced bass response. They're all compatible with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and AirPlay 2 for wireless streaming, plus USB-C and a 3.5mm analog input for connecting additional sources.
Moreover, Denon's new Home series is designed to deliver a complete and detailed sound, making it the first line of speakers with HEOS technology compatible with music encoded in Dolby Atmos. This means both the hardware and software updates in these models can handle immersive audio playback in any of the new speakers.
Denon Home 200: The Entry Model
The Denon Home 200 is the entry-level option in the new series, featuring a compact cylindrical design that delivers enveloping sound thanks to its improved three-driver system (two tweeters and one woofer) powered by three Class-D amplifiers. It supports stereo playback with Dolby Atmos processing. Measuring 14 x 14 x 21.5 cm and weighing less than 2.3 kg, it's a compact option for smaller spaces.
Denon Home 400: The Mid-Range Model
The Denon Home 400 boasts a curved rectangular design and a more advanced six-transducer system: two tweeters, two upward-firing drivers, and two woofers, all powered by six Class-D amplifiers. The inclusion of upward-firing drivers increases the soundstage and adds greater height and depth to music and Dolby Atmos content. Designed for listeners seeking a more immersive experience with a single speaker, it measures 30 x 15 x 22 cm and weighs less than 4.5 kg.
Denon Home 600: The Flagship Model
The Denon Home 600 occupies the top tier of the range, featuring a premium design with two 6.5-inch opposing woofers, two tweeters, two mid-range drivers, and two upward-firing drivers, all powered by eight Class-D amplifiers. This configuration enables deeper, more powerful bass response thanks to its integrated subwoofer system, while also amplifying the sound's amplitude and detail. Physically the largest model at 45 x 25 x 22.6 cm and 8 kg, it's designed for larger rooms demanding more powerful sound.
Denon Home 200, Home 400, and Home 600: Availability and Pricing
Denon has waited six years to revamp its Home series, and the result appears as a significant advancement, more than a mere aesthetic update. The new speakers focus on greater multi-room integration via HEOS, wider connectivity, and the inclusion of Dolby Atmos music in a compact, in-room format that adapts to how people listen to music today. As mentioned at the outset, the new speakers are available now with the following prices:
Denon Home 200: €349
Denon Home 400: €499
Denon Home 600: €699
