• Advanced S.V.H. 

(Suppress Vibration Hybrid)

 Mechanism

To ensure impeccable accuracy in reading audio signals from 

the disc, particular attention has been devoted to the design 

and adjustment of the optical axis and base that supports the 

laser pickup so that they are perfectly aligned. The RCD-CX1 

incorporates a highly-acclaimed S.V.H.(Suppress. Vibration. 

Hybrid.) loader that features a hybrid construction combining 

multiple types of materials to suppress vibration and further 

improve disc reading accuracy.

 

The refi ned design includes a 

thin disc tray: Try opening and closing it to see how smooth 

and precise the loading mechanism is.

• Enjoy various music media in high-quality sound

The RCD-CX1 provides a dedicated control terminal for the 

separately-available Denon Control Dock for iPod

®

s that lets 

you connect and play music from your iPod. The RCD-CX1’s 

remote control unit lets you perform iPod operations such 

as Play and Skip. Music of various kinds can also be enjoyed 

with the RCD-CX1’s AM/FM tuner.

• Newly-developed, easy-to-use remote control unit

The buttons have been laid out so that the various functions of 

the amp and CD are easy to operate.

• Simple and intuitive operation

- Direct Power On: Power turns on automatically when the CD 

Play button is pressed while power is off .

- Fade Out: If you switch to FM radio or another sound 

source while listening to a CD, the sound from the CD will 

automatically fade before the switch is made.

Speaker System SC-CX101

• 12cm woofer unit with newly-developed glass fi ber 

D.D.L. cone

The newly-developed D.D.L. (Denon Double Layer) cone has 

been used for the woofer diaphragm. This diaphragm with 

dual-layer construction ensures accurate piston motion across 

a wide frequency range. Combined with an advanced magnetic 

circuit and an aluminum shorting ring to reduce magnetic 

distortion, this speaker system produces a big, spacious sound that 

is remarkable from such a compact speaker cabinet.

• 2.5cm dome tweeter with specialized frame shape

Denon developed a new frame shape to flatten radiation 

impedance. This also prevents diaphragm deformation caused 

by the thermal expansion of air inside the tweeter. The addition 

of ventilation holes keeps the diaphragm centered and ensures 

constantly ideal piston motion.

• Crossover network, 

  for uniform sound pressure and phase response

The SC-CX101’s network circuitry has been designed not only 

for the unit’s energy and phase characteristics, but cabinet 

reflection and placement conditions in the room have been 

considered as well. In addition to fl attening on-axis frequency 

response, the network design has also provides smooth off -axis 

response as well.

• A pleasing harmony between technology 

 and 

aesthetics

The SC-CX101 has been jointly developed by Denon engineers 

and European sound designers with deep experience in music. 

Elaborate computer simulations were conducted to model 

the basic design as much as possible from the individual 

parts level and achieve a high standard of perfection in basic 

characteristics.

• Unit frame made of non-magnetic die-cast aluminum

Non-magnetic die-cast aluminum has been used for the unit frame 

to give it solid support and prevent diaphragm movement. 

A baking fi nish has been given to the surface to minimize squeal.

• Beautiful natural wood-grain veneer cabinet

The SC-CX101’s cabinet, built with 18mm MDF and finished 

with a semi-gloss natural wood-grain veneer, is extremely 

beautiful. Not only is the natural wood finish pleasing to the 

eyes, the surface that transmits the sound waves has been 

carefully controlled to produce a beautifully resonant sound. 

The natural wood fi nish has also been applied to the interior to 

control overall resonance.

• Rear duct, for a clear, deep bass

The rear panel has been carefully machined to produce a uniform 

construction with the mouth of the duct. The fi nish has also been 

meticulously applied to minimize squeal and port noise.

• Gold-plated brass bi-wiring ports

The SC-CX101 speakers provide large bi-wiring ports with high-

grade transparent insulating covers to expand your audio 

enjoyment.
