Features

Denon’s Passionate Craftsmanship to Pure Audio

in an LP-sized Chassis for Serious Music Lovers

The CX concept represents an amalgamation of “Simple & Compact Refined Design”, “Denon Hi-Fi Craftsmanship”, and

“Denon Professional Manufacturing Technology”.

The RCD-CX1 inherits its amplifier circuit, power circuit, CD mechanism, and audio circuit from the high-end

CX1 series and provides them in a compact unit for ardent music lovers.

The amplifier circuit of the DRA-CX3 with its high power conversion efficiency of 90% has been

used in the RCD-CX1 as well. Despite the built-in CD player and compact enclosure, the RCD-

CX1 is capable of high-power output of 75W + 75W (4Ω) to ensure outstanding speaker drive

performance. It very capably drives the Denon SC-CX101, a compact Hi-Fi speaker system. The

RCD-CX1’s powerful amplifier circuit gives you a rich, satisfying musical sound.

• Robust power circuit, with ample support for sudden sound bursts

The RCD-CX1’s power circuit supplies sufficient, stable current even when demand peaks

instantaneously. Highly efficient, stable current supply has been made possible by a Denon-

developed control system. Sudden bursts of sound such as cymbal claps are reproduced with

realistic clarity.

• Thoroughly vibration-resistant construction

From the power supply board, power and preamp board, the CD mechanism with triple-layer

construction, to the chassis that contains these and all the other elements, the construction of the RCD-

CX1 is thoroughly vibration-resistant to ensure that vibration does not adversely affect the sound.

This construction allows the RCD-CX1 to accurately reproduce each individual sound of the original

recording on the disc.

• Short signal paths, to minimize signal degradation

Denon’s aim is to reproduce the original sound with complete fidelity and allow listeners to enjoy

the artist’s musical expression as it was heard on the day of recording. This has been Denon’s

ideal ever since its beginning as a manufacturer of audio components whose job today is to read

audio signals from the disc, amplify them, and send them to the speakers. The shorter the signal

path from disc to speakers, the easier it is to faithfully reproduce the original sound, free of noise.

This principle of “Simple & Straight” is strictly implemented in the RCD-CX1 to give you a clean,

transparent sound.
