A true music and movie hub. Connect it to your TV, your projector or your AVR and it not only makes everything look amazing but it also sounds better than anything else out there. It’ll play virtually any disc you have and stream music through the on board network connectivity. And everything benefits from our bespoke upsampling technology so you hear the last drop of detail.

The CXU features 5 separate Wolfson WM8740 DACs and our proprietary ATF audio upsampling (more info on that genius tech here). Through these, all your inputs get upsampled to 24-bit/192kHz hi-res quality, meaning all your audio has even more acute detail and warm depth. You’ll be able to enjoy musical nuances that you’ve never heard before in tracks and films that you’ve heard a thousand times. A dedicated 2-channel analogue stereo output also guarantees the best possible stereo sound, and Pure Audio mode allows shut down of all video processing to prevent any audio signal interference resulting in a true hi-fi performance when it’s needed.

The CXU uses DARBEE Visual Presence technology to deliver stunning video playback; it provides greater clarity and increases the perception of depth resulting in a more dynamic, lifelike experience. Processing is adjustable, allowing you to customise the visual enhancement to suit your needs. And for ultimate flexibility, you can set your preferred DARBEE mode individually for each of the different video inputs. To make the most of the powerful video processing, 4k upsampling and 2D to 3D scaling from all video sources are also included, so you can enjoy a cinema quality ‘3D’ experience, whatever the source.

Combining the best of disc, wireless, and solid-state media playback, the Denon Professional DN-300Z is an all-in-one audio player you can count on when the whole room is listening. Ideal for front-of-house, education, music and rehearsal studios, houses of worship, restaurants and more, it has an answer to every request—all consolidated into a compact 1RU design. Extending Denon Professionalʼs dedication to powerful solutions that are easy-to-use, the DN-300Z plays the media of both today and tomorrow, in formats easily accessible to any user. It really does expect the unexpected. Go ahead, throw anything you want at it: Front-loading media slots (CD w/single-play mode, USB, SD/SDHC) deliver intuitive playback of todayʼs familiar mass-storage mediums. Or, go wireless with long-range Bluetooth audio connectivity (up to 100 feet) and instant recall of up to 8 devices such as smartphones and tablets. With support for CD-DA, MP3, WAV, and AAC file formats, the DN-300Z is the master-of-all-trades player that excels when the unpredictable occurs. The 300Z features both RCA audio outputs and balanced XLR outputs. The balanced outputs are a much-needed feature in the professional/commercial sector, since they enable long connection cable runs without any increase in stray noise pickup. The front panelʼs backlit LCD screen provides at-a-glance status of playback modes and content, providing clear readouts to even the most novice user. Designed to adapt to any scenario, switching formats on the fly has never been easier. Media categories and their respective controls are grouped together so users will never have to wrestle with deep menus or use the instruction manual to perform basic functions. Direct access to CD tracks, global transport controls (play/pause/search), and a rotary-push encoder translate to fast, hands-on command when you need to get to your content. An IEC-weighted AC power port means space-saving connection to power sources—no bulky transformers or "wall warts” required. When installed into a clientʼs rack, the DN-300Z provides the capability, reliability, and versatility to tackle any playback task, from one-off requests to rehearsed program material, in an intuitive, tidy package. The DN-300Z media player expects the unexpected. But you demand it. Features
