Denon has officially introduced a new addition to its lineup of smart speakers, the Denon Home 150 NV. This streamlined version of the popular Home 150 speaker is designed to cater to individuals who prioritize privacy without compromising on sound quality and functionality.
The Denon Home 150 NV, aptly named with "NV" possibly signifying "No Voice," distinguishes itself from its predecessors by omitting internal microphones and voice assistant capabilities. While this means it lacks the interactive features commonly associated with smart speakers, it presents an appealing option for those who value their privacy and prefer not to engage with voice assistants.
Despite the absence of voice control, Denon assures consumers that the Home 150 NV maintains the high-quality audio performance expected from the brand. Supporting hi-res audio files up to 24-bit/192kHz, as well as DSD 2.8MHz and 5.5MHz tracks, this speaker promises an immersive listening experience. Its dual class-D amplifiers, featuring a 25mm tweeter and an 89mm woofer, ensure rich and room-filling sound.
Connectivity options abound with the Denon Home 150 NV. It offers a variety of inputs, including a USB-A input for playing stored music, a 3.5mm analogue input for direct connections, and an ethernet port for wired internet access. Additionally, users can leverage Denon's HEOS platform for multi-room capabilities, allowing seamless audio distribution across compatible devices throughout the home.
The speaker supports popular streaming services such as AirPlay 2, Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, Amazon Music HD, and TuneIn radio, providing users with a wide array of options for enjoying their favorite music. Furthermore, AirPlay 2 compatibility enables wireless stereo sound when paired with other AirPlay-compatible devices.
