At CES 2025, Denon, a leader in audio technology, introduced its first Denon Car Audio Concept System, aimed at delivering exceptional sound in the fast-evolving electric vehicle (EV) market. This concept system blends Denon’s century-long expertise in high-fidelity audio with the latest innovations to create a groundbreaking listening experience that aims to transform how drivers and passengers enjoy the in-car sound.
In partnership with Sonified, Tympany, and Dirac, Denon has created an audio system with remarkable sound quality, customizable sound settings, and a fashionable design. This groundbreaking system marks a significant turning point in both Denon’s past and the future direction of in-car audio technology.
These innovators have created an advanced, multi-dimensional sound system that delivers pristine Denon audio performance.
Denon brings over 110 years of audio engineering expertise, revolutionizing in-car sound with intelligent design and integration.
The Denon Car Audio Concept System boasts an impressive 1,800-watt Dirac-optimized Dolby Atmos® setup with 22 speakers and exciters. This configuration delivers an immersive 360-degree audio experience, ensuring every passenger is enveloped in rich, dynamic sound.
The system’s thoughtfully positioned speakers, built into the car’s headrests and height, guarantee that every listener is surrounded by the distinctive Denon sound with its rich, roomy, and detailed quality, regardless of whether seated in the front or back.
The technology, inspired by Denon PerL headphones, shows how a personalized audio profile can be created for your specific hearing needs. The system automatically adjusts sound settings according to your ears’ reactions to different frequencies, enhancing depth, clarity, and detail.
This personalization opens up exciting possibilities for customized, high-quality audio, making your in-car sound experience more enjoyable and precise than ever before!

The system’s clean, minimalist style is achieved by integrating small, powerful components that complement the car’s interior.
Sonified delivers mid-range frequencies without compromising style thanks to its cleverly placed hidden exciters inside the headrests and beneath trim pieces. In addition to keeping things looking neat, this design decision improves seclusion and lowers noise levels for passersby outside.
Thanks to Tympany, the system boasts top-notch speakers that are both acoustically impressive and compact, saving space while maximizing power efficiency. This blend of sound quality and space-conscious design guarantees that the Denon system provides a high-end yet subtle in-car audio experience.
With the rise of electric vehicles, Denon’s cutting-edge technology promises to offer an unparalleled listening experience that’s both personal and immersive, no matter where you sit.
