Story

In 1910, the native of the USA Frederick Whitney Horn founded Nipon Chikuonki Shokai: its specialization was the production of phonographs and records with recorded classical music. Officially, the company was registered as Nipponophone PhonoGraph Company Ltd. In 1927, Columbia Graphophone acquired 35.7 % of its shares, and in January 1928 Nippon Columbia PhonoGraph Company Ltd.

The modern name of the brand appeared only in 1939, when the name of one of the branches, Japan Denki Onkyo was combined into one word. The name Denon is an abbreviation formed from the words 電気 (でんき Danks - electricity) and 音響 (おんきょう おんきょう おんきょう おんきょう おんきょう qoustics, noise), and until 1970 the company had the name でんおん (Denon). Since the shorter form of Danon (でのん/デノン) was walking in the colloquial, it was also made by a brand. The staff of that time consisted of engineers who chose the improvement of audio equipment as a direction of development. Therefore, the first equipment produced were electrophones and recorders of gramplasts. Denon buyers were radio stations from around the world.
