This page does not review anything Denon makes. It counts one thing: how much of what this database says about their products came out of their own documents, and how much had to be worked out or left blank.

Where each sensitivity figure came from

ModelImpedanceSensitivitySource of the figure
AH-D200025 Ω106.0 dB/mWPublished per mW
AH-D520024 Ω103.0 dB/mWPublished per mW
AH-D720025 Ω105.0 dB/mWPublished per mW
AH-D920024 Ω105.0 dB/mWPublished per mW
AH-MM40040 Ω105.0 dB/mWNot published

Impedance is almost always printed. Sensitivity is the one that goes wrong, because a decibel figure means two very different things depending on whether it is per milliwatt or per volt — about five decibels apart at 300 Ω and eighteen at 16 Ω. The conversion is here.

  • Published per mW — 4: the maker prints a decibel figure per milliwatt, which is what the database stores
  • Not published — 1: no sensitivity figure in anything the maker published

What the paperwork adds up to

Most of what this site says about Denon came from them, with the rest derived and labelled as derived.

The rule used here is the same for every maker and is described on the manufacturer index. Every figure behind it can be opened on the product page it came from, with the document it came from linked.
