Building on the basic design of Denon's critically acclaimed D-M31 and D-M30, the company has passionately continued to refine design details and parts through repeated tests in order to achieve an even higher level of sonic perfection. In addition, it has collaborated with European sound designers and technicians to develop a new speaker system that would faithfully deliver the improved sound quality from the D-M33. The D-M33 not only plays CDs, but a variety of other sources such as MP3 and WMA sound files as well, in rich quality of sound.The D-M33 inherits the technology from the Denon's high-end models to faithfully reproduce the original sound. Capacitors developed for high-quality audio have been used in the circuitry of the power amp that determines sound quality and in the D/A converter section that converts the digital signal from the CD into an analog signal. In addition, the D-M33's high-class separate components feature Burr-Brown D/A converters, well known for superior sonic performance. The converters faithfully preserve both the powerful dynamics and the delicate nuances of sound as they convert the CD's digital signals into analog form for the speakers. The D-M33 also plays MP3 and WMA files recorded on CD-R or CD-RW media. The SC-M53 is a speaker system with high sound quality that has been newly tuned for the RCD-M33. The bass driver has an inverted-profile double layer cone. This one-piece design does not use a center-cap, providing greater rigidity across the surface of the bass cone. The driver uses a dual-layer cone. Detailed "finite element analysis" was used to find the optimum thickness on each part of the sub-cone and the best connection point between main cone and voice coil. This design controls the break-up modes of the cone for a more stable sound.
The speaker cabinet is constructed with MDF material. The acoustic design of the cabinet was optimized through laser scan measurements of vibration in the cabinet. Careful attention has been given to the rear of the speakers as well, where higher quality 5-way binding terminals are featured. The system's efficiently compact design, coupled with the speakers' European-style wood-grain finish, makes the D-M33S an elegant addition to your office or den.
