Denon AH-D1001 User manual

Now you can have your own space to enjoy
music to your heart’s content.
Development Concept
The AH-D5000 and AH-D2000 have been designed for
music lovers who want to enjoy a realistic sound in
complete peace, while the AH-D1001 provides a high-
quality sound that can be easily enjoyed outdoors as
well as indoors.
Background
Sound is conveyed to people's ears as waves that
occur when vibrations from a sounding body causes the
air to vibrate. In a normal listening environment, sound
waves released from speakers fill the listening space,
and the waves that reach people's ears are reflected or
absorbed by objects in the room such as desks, chairs,
sofas, the floor, ceiling, or carpet. This is how we,
through audio products, enjoy music recorded in a con-
cert hall, live house, or studio. If you wish to enjoy an
ambiance as though you were sitting in a concert hall or
live house, you would have to raise the volume on the
amp to some extent and drive the speakers. However, if
your free time to enjoy music occurs late at night, you
may not be able to raise the volume. At times like those,
you need headphones that let you freely enjoy the
music and give you the quality of sound you require. To
develop such headphones, we at Denon embarked on a
new path where we focused on the acoustic space
inside the headphones rather than the listening room.
Wearing headphones is like placing your ears right
beside the speakers. The sounding body vibrates the
air, but instead of being influenced by surrounding
objects, the sound waves go directly into your ears. At
first glance, you might imagine hearing a beautifully
realistic sound, but there are a few issues that must be
addressed first:
• The driver unit needs to reproduce both delicate
details and powerful sound,
• The materials used for the housing need to have
superior acoustic properties,
• The headband and frame need to feel natural while
being worn,
• The cable needs to preserve the purity of electric
signals during transmission.
Denon engineers have cleared these challenges step
by step through repeated listening tests and adjust-
ments.
Musical instruments produce a wide variety of delicate
nuances in sound that are most enjoyable to listen to.
We invite you now to produce your own space where
you can enjoy them to your heart's content.
