THE WORLD OF MUSIC IS CHANGING
Consumer audio is accessory to Music Source; historically there has been a single dominant force. Over time the source has changed for either performance improvement, or convenience.
GP (Gramophones) to LP’s (Long playing) - Better sound quality, more durable media, and longer playing, improved performance.
LP to Cassette – Gave a huge decrease in sound performance but significantly more convenient. Easier to use in car and on the go, could make own recordings, and allowed building playlists.
Cassette to CDs – Had better sound quality, more durable, better all round.
CD to MP3 (iTunes) – Has lower sound quality, but very convenient. (1000 songs in your pocket!)
Today: Pre-eminence of iTunes is fading; kids under 25 are not buying iTunes content, iTunes music shrunk for the first time ever over the last year while global music sales grew for the first time since 2006. There is no longer a single dominant source.
Cloud sources
Internet Radio, rebroadcast of terrestrial AM/FM stations. i.e. Tunein.
Personalized Internet Audio
Subscription services, pick and play any song, build playlists etc, i.e. Spotify
We (Denon) believe there are four pillars required to be successful in today’s environment. The first is having cool rocking multi-zone players, second is an easy setup, third is simple beautiful controller apps, and finally online music services.
Heos delivers in these four categories with a gorgeous product line-up, the fastest wi-fi setup available, a fantastic app that looks and functions great, and finally Heos brings the top Cloud services in three categories: Internet Radio, Personalized Radio and Subscription Services.
