Denon enhances existing A/V receiver line-up with Audyssey Dynamic Volume upgrade (14/11/2008)

Denon, the world leader in high-performance audio/video components, is upgrading its class-leading and award-winning A/V receiver range. And this major feature improvement is a world first – the addition of Audyssey’s Dynamic Volume technology to Denon’s network enabled AVR-3808, AVR-4308, AVC-and AVP-A1HD designs. On top of this, owners of the AVR-3808 and the AVR-4308 will get the opportunity to boost their receivers with Audyssey Dynamic EQ as well as CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) HDMI protocol support. Both technologies are already included in Denon’s reference class AVC-and AVP-A1HD models.

The ground-breaking Audyssey Dynamic Volume system monitors the volume level of programmematerialmillisecond-by-millisecond,maintaining the desiredlisteninglevel for all content, while optimising the dynamic range to preserve the impact.

The technology makes regular adjustments to maintain the perfect listening level, as volume levels on different programmes or from different sources can sometimes vary by as much as 10dB. Normally, whenever the content or source is changed, the listener has to adjust the volume level. Here, the Audyssey Dynamic Volume system adapts the volume level for each source and for different material.

This ground-breaking sound levelling technology is completed by Audyssey Dynamic EQ that also comes with Denon’s software upgrade. This loudness correction technology solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume decreases by taking into account human perception and room acoustics.

This unparalleled upgrade service starts this month and owners can swiftly perform the upgrade, from the comfort of their homes, via the receivers’ existing online firmware upgrade function. The target price for this hugely effective feature upgrade will be £70 for each model. Details are available on the Denon website.
