History

The company was originally established by Frederick Whitney Horn in 1910 as part of ippon Chikuonki Shokai” (Japan Recorders Corporation), a manufacturer of single-sided disc records and gramophones.

There followed a number of mergers and tie-ins over the next few decades as firstly the company merged with Japan-US Recorders Manufacturing in 1912 and then in 1928 the brand olumbia was introduced when the company became apan Columbia Recorders. A further change of name occurred in 1946 when the company renamed itself ippon Columbia.

The Denon brand was first established in 1947 when ippon Columbia merged with apan Denki Onkyo. &M Holdings Inc. was created in May 2002 when Denon Ltd and Marantz Japan Inc. merged.

Today, the company is specializing in professional and consumer home cinema and audio equipment including A/V receivers, DVD players, tuners and wireless music systems. Denon is also known for high-end AV Receivers and Moving coil phono cartridges. Two M-series models, the Denon M31 and M30, have been the most successful radio hi-fi’s for the last 4 years.[citation needed] Since being released to the micro hifi DAB market, they have received several awards in Europe.[citation needed]
