Denon D-M37 (RCD-M37/SC-M37)

...for my bedroom I knew Denon were one of the best brands in the mini hifi system field so I felt very comfortable about choosing this one of a couple of similar Sony DAB Systems. I eventually chose this D-M37 from Denon after hearing a demo of it in my local hifi store. Here is my verdict on the system.

Denon are known for their sound quality but also their look as you can spot a Denon easily from the shelf. This Denon is one of the nicest looking small systems and as you can get the system in either silver or piano black you can match the system to it's surroundings.

**Introduction**

I am very comfortable with my Hifi Setup at the moment and will not be upgrading for a while yet. I had been in the market for a second setup and Having looked for a small second system for my bedroom I knew Denon were one of the best brands in the mini hifi system field so I felt very comfortable about choosing this one of a couple of similar Sony DAB Systems. I eventually chose this D-M37 from Denon after hearing a demo of it in my local hifi store. Here is my verdict on the system.

**The Unit**

If you know much about Hifi Equipment then you will instantly recognise the Denon style with this Unit as it is pretty much standard Denon for a product of the type, The unit is available in either Black or as Silver (as shown in the picture). So what comes in the unit? well as standard you get the DAB Tuner which also supports FM/AM and of course the CD Player which is still going strong alongside the DAB Tuner. All the more common with new systems is the usb input which also is featured here. This allows you to stick your usb cable into the slot to connect it to the computer or if you have a usb stick you can simply plug it into the slot and play your music through the system that way. Other inputs include a 3.5mm input for headphones and connections to MP3, On the back you will get all the normal connections for speakers. You can choose whether to include the speakers or not.

**The Look**

Denon are known for their sound quality but also their look as you can spot a Denon easily from the shelf. This Denon is one of the nicest looking small systems and as you can get the system in either silver or piano black you can match the system to it's surroundings. I like the clear look of the display which simply tells you which input you are playing and the station if you are playing DAB. Everything is set out well and looks the usual Denon part. It looks a very smart system overall.

**The Sound**

Now onto the all important Sound test. This is a very highly thought of system and has won many awards and fans for it's sound. Given the small stature of the box and the speakers you will not get seismic bass but the bass you do get is very good and very taut. The treble conveys vocals and instruments well and the overall sound integrates together very well indeed. Although I have this system as a second system in my bedroom it's more than capable of being your main setup if size really is at a premium. A very good sound indeed. Upgrade the speakers and you could get even more but choose the speakers carefully.

**DAB**

I Had wanted to get DAB for a while and thought that this would be an added bonus to this system for me. I was right and the reception is really good and very clear. After a simple setup you can listen to all the available DAB Channels. There are 100 combined presets available so you will probably never fill them up. The DAB also has RDS or Radio Data System which tells you what radio station you are tuned into and can also give you song titles and artists name. The reception on FM And AM is very good too but you really need to have a good connection as you would expect.

**Overall**

This is an absolutely brilliant system which at Can be found under £200 for the system Excluding speakers but if you really want the system with the matching speakers it will cost around £270 so if you can find it cheaper then go for it. This is a fantastic system which has really impressive sound quality that will go loud without any trouble. This product just further proves Denon's quality in the field. Brilliant. If you have a small living room then this may be for you.
