Denon CEOL N11 DAB Music System Announced
Denon has announced its CEOL N11 DAB, which it describes as a next-generation lifestyle Network Music System.
The CEOL N11 DAB (£529) builds upon the success of Denon's CEOL stable and adds DAB+/DAB radio to HEOS multi-room skills and voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Denon's CEOL N11 DAB throws the listening option door wide open with wired or wi-fi internet streaming, AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth for starters. Thanks to the USB port it will slurp up digital libraries from wired storage as well as your NAS music library. Just add some Denon Home speakers to multiple rooms and control it all with the HEOS app.
As mentioned earlier, in addition to Internet radio or music streaming services such as Spotify, Amazon Music HD and Tidal, you can also tap into the sounds of DAB+/DAB digital radio stations or analogue FM/AM radio.
Rounding things off is a dash of physical media as there's also a built-in CD player. If that's not enough, you get a set of RCA inputs as well as two optical inputs, one of which is TV-friendly. You also get a subwoofer output to further bolster your telly's audio.
We are told that the CEOL N11 DAB's Digital Processing Amplifier incorporates on-board digital EQ processing, and is optimised for the optional Denon SC-N10 (£99) two-way speakers. Each speaker houses a 12cm bass/midrange driver and a 3cm high-definition tweeter. Naturally, the cabinet has been designed to complement the CEOL N11 DAB.
The CEOL N11 DAB features an illuminated touch-sensitive control panel, while an OLED display offers clear playback information you can read from across the room.
The Denon CEOL N11 DAB is available in Grey, White and Black for £529/€529. The optional SC-N10 speakers cost £99/€99. All will be in retailers from August.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
