Denon's Origin Story
The staff at Denon is proud of the company's long history of innovation, dating back more than a century. Founded by American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn in association with Japanese partners, Nippon Denki Onkyo Kabushikigaisha (which literally translates to "Japan Electric Sound Company") first came into existence in 1910 as part of Nippon Chikuonki Shokai (the Japan Recorders Corporation). Two words—"denki," the Japanese word for "electric," and "onkyo," the Japanese word for "sound"—would become essential for the future of the company.
At the time, the parent company was making single-sided recording discs and gramophones, which were used for little more than voice recording. This era was about 30 years after Thomas Edison had invented his phonograph (1877), which "wrote sound" onto a wax cylinder. Emile Berliner had only recently started the transition from cylinders to the lateral-cut flat disc, in the process coining the term "gramophone."
The new company became not only the first consumer audio manufacturer to sell a gramophone, but also Japan's first record company. This history illustrates how Denon—the company changed its name in the 1930s, taking the first syllables of "denki" and "onkyo"—has long been at the forefront of technology. Denon has manufactured not only the equipment to reproduce music, but it also has been a key part of the recording process.
A focused investment in audio research and design is a rich part of the company's heritage, and it is a commitment that continues as Denon builds superb components for today's discerning music lover.
