Denon

Denon was a brand created by Nippon Columbia, a Japanese manufacturer of records and gramophones. What happened is that Nippon Columbia merged with Japan Denki Onkyo in 1947, which resulted in a very long name "Nippon Denki Onkyo Kabushikigaisha", which they decided to shorten to "Denon". Afterwards, they continued to produce records and professional recording equipment. In 1964 they started manufacturing cassette tapes. In 1971 they started manufacturing hi-fi audio components, including turntables, amplifiers, tuners and speakers.

In 2002, Denon merged with Marantz to form D&M Holdings.

Denon did not produce many "boomboxes". But the ones they did produce were very high quality:

• Denon H-2
• Denon H-3
• Denon H-5
• Denon H-7
• Denon H-55
• Denon H-70
• Denon RCD-M39
