Denon's small yet mighty D-M41DAB ups its game with Bluetooth connectivity

Japanese electronics specialist Denon has long been in the compact home audio system game, but it's about to up said game with the latest addition to its popular M range - the D-M41DAB. The big new selling point? That would be the introduction of Bluetooth connectivity, which offers even more ways to connect to smartphones, tablets, laptops and more.

The all-new D-M41DAB combines the RCD-M41DAB CD receiver and matching SC-M41 speakers, while building on the success of the multi-award-winning D-M40DAB. The result is a compact yet powerful setup that combines FM/DAB+ functionality and more to create one of the best ways to transform you music - be it from a CD or via a Spotify playlist.

Add to that high precision digital/analogue converters and a Triple Noise Reduction system for even clearer audio crispness and you're in for a musical treat when you hook it up at home. 

You Denon D-M41DAB will be priced at £379 in the UK and will be available to order shortly.
