Denon Home 3D Sound Bar Gift Idea for Father's Day
Denon Adds Premium 3D Sound Bar to its Denon Home
Hi-Res Multiroom Speaker Ecosystem
The New Denon Home Sound Bar 550 Features Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Alexa, and HEOS Built-in to Create Stunning 3D Cinema Experiences from a Compact Sound Bar Design.
Denon®, the world’s leading manufacturer of premium home entertainment and personal audio products, introduced the Denon Home Sound Bar 550, a high-performance, compact sound bar that adds superior TV audio to the Denon Home family of products. With the ability to deliver Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D surround sound from a six-driver array, the sound bar makes movies, TV and music sound huge.
Listeners can also stream high-resolution music from their favourite music services or local music libraries directly to the sound bar leveraging HEOS Built-in. Additionally, listeners who already invested in the HEOS ecosystem, including other Denon Home products, can add the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 as a separate wireless zone without pulling a single wire.
The Sound Bar 550 can be used as a standalone sound bar or expanded with other wireless Denon Home speakers, including the Denon Home 150, 250 and 350, which can all be implemented as rear-channel surrounds.
Like every Denon the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 is built to deliver best-in-class audio quality. With advanced acoustic hardware, expertly tuned digital signal processing and premium drivers, this sound bar offers everything a home entertainment enthusiast needs for great 3D surround sound without taking up too much space under the TV. Thanks to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X processing along with 4K video compatibility, the Sound Bar 550 creates a lifelike 3D cinematic experience.
With its built-in microphones the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 functions as an Alexa controller, like an Echo or Dot, conveniently and discreetly adding Alexa capability to your living room. Use voice commands to control the sound bar’s volume, select inputs, and choose audio modes (Music, Movie, Pure). For added convenience, the sound bar’s control panel lights up automatically as an outstretched hand approaches, enabling easy fingertip control of key features like volume adjustment, play/pause, muting Alexa, and the ability to skip or restart songs without using the app or remote controller. Furthermore, the remote controller and HEOS app are equipped with three Quick Select buttons. With Quick Select you can store your preferred source with listening modes or Internet radio stations to enjoy them whenever you want with a single button press.
The Denon Home Sound Bar 550 is easy to set up and can be controlled with the included remote and most TV remotes, the HEOS app, the on-board illuminated control panel, or Alexa voice commands, allowing you to manage the bar however you want for whatever situation you're in. With eARC connectivity (enhanced Audio Return Channel), the Sound Bar 550 can deliver superior sound quality via a single HDMI connection to the TV.
The sound bar is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2 to easily stream from Apple devices. To ensure effortless integration with popular smart home ecosystems, the Sound Bar 550 is the first Denon sound bar to include onboard software drivers for Control4, Crestron, URC, Elan, and more.
In addition to the new Sound Bar 550, the existing Denon Home lineup is comprised of three wireless multiroom speakers, each expertly tuned by Denon’s sound masters to provide optimized, balanced performance while blending seamlessly into any décor. All Denon Home models, including the Sound Bar 550 provide effortless access to streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music HD, TIDAL and more, as well as high-resolution files stored on phones or network via Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, or Bluetooth.
This functionality gives users access to millions of songs, including thousands of high-resolution digital audio tracks all effortlessly controlled from a single app. Listeners can play different music in each room or group all HEOS Built-in and Denon Home devices together to stream the same music in Party Mode throughout the home or office. The built-in microphones of the Denon Home Wireless Speakers to support Alexa voice assistant can be enabled via a firmware update in February 2021. The microphones will not be enabled without explicit user permission.
