2 x 65W | ARC | PHONO CD | HEOS | DAB+ | FM
Denon's RCD-N12 fits beautifully in space-challenged setups, and it comes loaded with built-in music options. Team up this mini-sized receiver with a pair of bookshelf speakers, and that might be all you need. Listen to music on CDs? There's a disc player built in. Enjoy playlists on Spotify®, TIDAL, or Amazon Music? Denon's HEOS Built-in technology offers a user-friendly streaming platform with control from an app on your smartphone.
Use HEOS to play internet radio stations, or pull in local stations over the air via the built-in tuner. And we especially love the HDMI ARC port on the back of this versatile little receiver: it lets you run an HDMI cable (not included) from your compatible TV for clear, powerful two-channel sound with your favorite shows, video games, and movies.
Connect other components
You get a dedicated input for connecting a turntable with a moving magnet cartridge, plus one additional stereo RCA input for a line-level analog source. A Toslink optical input lets you connect a digital component, and a front-panel USB-A input lets you plug in a thumb drive loaded with digital music files. Should you ever want to upgrade to a bigger amp, there's a stereo RCA preamp output. You also get a mono RCA output for connecting a powered subwoofer of your choice.
Set up a wireless whole-home audio system with HEOS
With HEOS Built-in technology, the CEOL RCD-N12 can be easily integrated into a wireless multi-room audio system. Stream music to HEOS wireless speakers and components in different rooms, and control each room's speakers independently with the free mobile HEOS app. The app lets you control playback, browse music sources, and select which rooms you want to use. Play the same music throughout your home or listen to something different in each room.
