Professional Sound Boosted By D&M

The first in a new series of solid state players from Denon Professional for the sound contractor and AV integrator markets has been revealed.
D&M Business & Professional Group (Europe) has announces the launch of the DN-F300, an advanced professional solution for the playback of MP3 and uncompressed .WAV music libraries stored on SD and SDHC flashcards (up to 32GB), portable USB flash drives, and self powered HDDs.
The compact 1U/HE rackmount player offers technology and features derived directly from Denon Professional's leading broadcast CD players, in providing dedicated hardware control for the navigation, management and programmable play of digital music files for BGM and other applications in bars, restaurants, clubs, retail complexes, visitor attractions, houses of worship, and fitness centres.
With no moving parts, the DN-F300 offers virtually maintenance free operation, and is ideally configured as a modern digital media replacement for carousel CD players in BGM applications.
Able to store the equivalent of up to 10 CDs worth of music on a single SD card, it is similarly priced to a standard five CD professional carousel player.
Additionally, the +16% pitch control (controllable from the unit's IR remote control) and tempo adjust features specify the DN-F300 for music playback in fitness, aerobic and dance studios.
In a further cost and space saving advantage, the unit's master level control, headphone jack with level control, and two mic inputs - with discrete level controls and automatic audio ducking for paging and public announcements - negate the requirement for a separate rackmixer.
