Features
Cocoon Portable: The Denon Cocoon Portable is a portable powered
speaker with a built-in iPod dock, Ethernet/WiFi network connection for AirPlay
and DLNA connectivity, plus Internet Radio access. In order to access the unit's
Network, AirPlay, DLNA, and Internet Radio functions, you will need to download
Denon's Cocoon App onto your Apple iOS device or Android smartphone.
Water-Resistant: The Denon Cocoon Portable is constructed with a
one-piece chassis, rubberized buttons, and a metal grill; making the case sturdy
and water resistant. A removable rubber cover protects the back ports from sand,
dirt, and water so you can take your music to the park or beach with confidence.
An integrated handle makes it easier to carry the Cocoon Portable system with
you. For added convenience, the speaker also has a small storage slot for the
included remote control so you don't have to worry about losing it.
Tuned For Outdoor Sound: The Cocoon Portable's high-fidelity speakers
are acoustically optimized and tuned for outdoor use to ensure premium sound.
Two 4" full-range drivers and two 25-watt amplifiers create rich bass without
distortion, while a nine-band digital equalizer precisely balances low, mid, and
high frequencies for powerful performance at any volume. The Loudness function
enhances bass and treble sounds at low volume levels. The system volume level
ranges from 0 to 50, but you can set a different maximum volume level.
Network Connection: The Cocoon Portable is equipped with dual network
connection methods. There's an RJ-45 LAN (Ethernet) port for direct wired
connection to your home network, and there's also the built-in WiFi feature
that includes WiFi Protected Setup for safe and secure connection to your
wireless home network. The unit's network connection lets you listen to music
from your Apple device (via AirPlay) or Android smartphone (via DLNA), your music files stored on your Windows PC (via DLNA),
and music content from Internet Radio (via vtuner & TuneIn).
Note: This unit's RJ-45 Ethernet port supports
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX and requires an Ethernet (LAN) category 5 or higher
cable, Router, Modem, and Internet connection. When using a wireless LAN
connection, your system must feature an wireless router/access-point.
Cocoon App: Download Denon's free Cocoon app for incredible functionality and control
of the Cocoon Portable
from your
Apple iOS or
Android device.
The Denon Cocoon App offers premium music playback via the Cocoon Portable for
music stored on your Apple iOS or Android device, and also allows you to create
playlists. But you're not limited to your own music; you can also listen to
thousands of free internet radio stations from all over the world via vTuner and
TuneIn.
When connected to your home Wi-Fi network you can further expand your choice of
music by using the Music Server to browse and play all the music that is stored
on your PC, Mac or Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive.
