Denon TU-1800DAB
DAB / FM-RDS
/ AM Radio Tuner
From What Hi
Fi:-
Denon has a superb
track record with analogue tuners, and it’s proved itself
perfectly capable of continuing that success in the digital
radio arena. The TU-1800DAB is a hybrid model, capable of
handling FM, AM and, of course, DAB broadcasts. You’re provided
with all the necessary aerials – and the DAB antenna even has a
magnetic base to help secure it in place.
Dot matrix display
An elegant and streamlined design makes the Denon an attractive
piece of kit. The fascia features a large, two-line dot matrix
display that’s easy to read and can be dimmed at the touch of a
button. Around the back, in addition to standard phono outputs,
you find optical and coaxial outputs that’ll allow you to
connect this Denon tuner to a home cinema receiver.
Saving your favourite stations isn’t a problem, since the Denon
caters for a mammoth 200 presets (100 DAB and 100 FM/AM), and
DAB tuning is simple – hit the Autotune button and the unit will
scour the airwaves for all available channels. You can then
cycle through and select stations via the unit’s basic remote
control or the responsive fascia scroll wheel.
Full-bodied vocals
Music is delivered with great fluidity and smoothness. Vocals
are full-bodied, refined and sound expressive and natural.
Whether it’s Elton John’s Rocket Man on Capital Gold or Roger
Sanchez’s summer classic Another Chance on Kiss, the Denon
delivers an entertaining musical performance, full of rhythm and
drive.
The tuner uncovers a good level of detail thanks to its clear
and relatively uncompressed delivery.
Denon has long had a reputation for top-notch tuner separates at
sensible prices. The TU-1800DAB is a great buy, and does that
reputation no harm at all.
