Denon has introduced its new DHT-S517 sound bar and wireless subwoofer system, which delivers cinematic Dolby Atmos 3D surround sound.

The Denon DHT-S517 sound bar with Dolby Atmos transforms any TV into a home entertainment centre. The Denon DHT-S517 uses a powerful 7-driver array, comprised of left/right channel tweeters and midrange drivers, a dedicated centre-channel, plus two up-firing speakers. Working together with the wireless subwoofer, this configuration delivers unmatched clarity, dynamics and cinematic dimensionality.

Entertainment enthusiasts will appreciate a thrilling, lifelike Dolby Atmos listening experience that includes an expansive soundstage, authoritative bass, and startlingly clear dialogue perfect for the latest music, movies and games.

“While TV manufactures have developed thinner and thinner screens with high resolution and great picture quality, space for speakers has notably diminished, resulting in a sacrificed sound experience,” says Denon president, Trip Randall.

“With our newest Denon sound bar, you’ll immediately boost your home theatre experience to upgraded 3D sound and will find your viewing experience makes exponential leaps forward for the better. It takes a legacy brand like Denon to deliver this kind of spectacular, immersive sound, all with an easy-to-use set-up that is compatible with any TV.”

The Denon DHT-S517 works seamlessly with any TV set-up. With the included HDMI cable, audio from any smart TV or other compatible source is sent to the sound bar via the HDMI Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) feature. There is also an additional 4K UHD HDMI input to connect HDMI sources to the soundbar directly.

The system is the ultimate home entertainment hub, providing wireless access to favourite content via Bluetooth connectivity to any smart device.

Denon’s Dialogue Enhancer on the DHT-S517 improves the intelligibility of spoken content that is vital to movies, news, sports and other entertainment. This feature allows users to enjoy refined clarity with three available modes and a dedicated level control for dialogue that is independent of overall system volume.

It offers multiple sound modes tailored for any occasion: Movie Mode, Music Mode, Pure Mode and Night Mode. In Pure Mode all surround processing and other adjusted characteristics is eliminated, delivering the purest music listening experience that enthusiasts have come to expect from Denon.
