Ralph Graves

The HEOS 1 compact wireless powered speaker is a great way to start building that system. It's small enough to fit in any room, yet delivers clean, detailed sound. Plug it in, download the free HEOS app to your Apple® or Android™ device, and you're ready to start.

Plug it in, download the free HEOS app to your Apple® or Android™ device, and you're ready to start.

HEOS 1

Built-in Wi-Fi® for easy setup

Getting your HEOS speaker up and running is a snap. It works with your existing Wi-Fi network — no need to plug any device into your router. Your HEOS 1 speaker can communicate over Wi-Fi with your smartphone or tablet via the free HEOS app, as well as with other HEOS devices to play music throughout your home. Just download the app and follow the simple instructions. An included cable allows the app to automatically transfer your Wi-Fi settings from your device for fast, easy setup.

Listen to your music or stream from online services

HEOS offers no shortage of ways to listen to music. The free app will let you play music stored on your smartphone or tablet and create your own playlists. You can also access free online radio stations via TuneIn or iHeartRadio. If you're a Spotify®, TIDAL, SiriusXM, or Rhapsody subscriber, you'll have access to their huge music libraries, too. Pandora Internet radio also offers lots of choices for both free users and subscribers. And HEOS will be adding other popular online music services as well.

Enjoy your music with or without wires

The HEOS 1 comes with a variety of playback options. You can stream music stored on your networked computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device via DLNA. Through the HEOS 1, you can also stream your songs to other HEOS devices for multi-room playback. And there's a 3.5mm miniplug input for your iPod or other portable music player.

High-quality sound

The HEOS 1 delivers when it comes to sound. You get clear highs and natural-sounding mids. And thanks to the HEOS 1's ported enclosure that helps reinforce low frequencies, you'll enjoy full, punchy bass.

Put it just about anywhere

The HEOS 1 is compact enough to fit on a shelf, desk, or dresser. It can stand on its end or lie horizontally. Just use the app to configure the drivers properly based on your setup. Zip into the app and tell it how you have the speaker positioned, and it adjusts its own built-in processing for the best sound. You can even configure two HEOS 1 speakers for true stereo playback. The app also offers tone controls, so you can bump up the bass or tame the treble to your taste.

Add Bluetooth® and take it just about anywhere

With an optional Go Pack, the HEOS 1 becomes a portable wireless speaker. The Go Pack's handy rechargeable battery pack locks onto the bottom of the speaker, letting you easily carry both parts as a single unit from room to room. The Go Pack can power the HEOS 1 for up to six hours, plus it adds Bluetooth capability for extra wireless flexibility. Just attach the Go Pack and plug the included mini-receiver into the HEOS 1's USB port. Now you can stream music from just about any smartphone or tablet, anywhere you want to listen — even in the backyard or at a friend's house, beyond the range of your Wi-Fi network. With the addition of the Go Pack, the speaker also becomes splash-resistant, which means you can enjoy your music outdoors without worrying about a few raindrops.

Wireless Speaker System

HEOS Wireless Multi-Room Sound: The HEOS 1 is part of Denon's HEOS wireless multi-room sound system. HEOS by Denon is a wireless multi-room sound system comprising a family of network music amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, and speakers for your whole home. There is a free app to control them from your iOS or Android phone or tablet. You can enjoy your favorite streaming music services, internet radio, or your own music collection. Plus, set-up is intuitive and simple. To Make HEOS work in your home, you'll need..

  • Denon's HEOS network audio amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, and/or speakers
  • a wireless (WiFi) home network with internet connection
  • a Apple iOS or Android device connected to your home wireless (WiFi) network
  • the free HEOS by Denon app downloaded on your Apple iOS or Android device
Note: The HEOS wireless multi-room sound system by Denon can support up to 32 HEOS music amplifiers, pre-amplifiers and/or speakers (sold separately) on a single wireless network.

Two-Way Driver System: The Denon HEOS 1 features a two-way driver system, with a  precision dome tweeter and wide-range mid-woofer. Two channels of high efficiency, cool-running Class D digital amplification delivers pristine sound, wide dynamic range with lowest distortion. The HEOS 1 utilizes advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to deliver full-range sound, with custom EQ sound tailoring that helps deliver a smooth, natural tonal balance.

Note: The HEOS 1 is great for small to medium sized rooms; such as bathrooms, bedrooms, offices, or kitchens.

Wired or Wireless Network Connectivity: The Denon HEOS system uses your home's wireless (WiFi) network for whole-house audio entertainment. The HEOS 1 can connect to your home's network via Ethernet (RJ-45) or WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n). A dual-band (2.4/5GHZ) "N" router is recommended for the most reliable wireless network connection. The free HEOS by Denon app for Apple iOS and Android is used for wireless (WiFi) setup with your home's network.

  • Wired Setup: Simply connect the HEOS 1 speaker to your home network using an Ethernet cable and the speaker will appear on the HEOS app on your Apple iOS or Android device as a new room in the Rooms screen.
  • Wireless Setup: Use the HEOS app on your mobile device and the included minijack cable to connect the HEOS 1 wirelessly to your home's WiFi network. During setup, you will need to connect the included minijack cable to the headphone jack of your mobile device and the Aux input of the HEOS 1. The app will then copy your mobile device's wireless network settings over to the speaker via the connected cable. You can add additional wireless speakers to the HEOS system by selecting "Add Device" from the HEOS app's settings menu.
Note: A HEOS Extend or similar wireless extender (sold separately) may be necessary if your network's wireless signal is weak to some of the HEOS systems in your application.

HEOS by Denon App: You'll need to download the HEOS by Denon App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store onto your Apple iOS (5.0+) or Android (2.3+) device. The app is required and provides everything you need to set up and enjoy music on the HEOS system. Using your mobile device and the HEOS app, you can setup, browse, explore, and control HEOS system right in the palm of your hand, from anywhere in your home. Your compatible Apple iOS or Android device must be connected to the same home wireless (WiFi) network as the HEOS speaker system. The HEOS app consists of 4 control screens.

  • Settings: The "Settings" screen enables you to connect one or more HEOS amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, or speakers to your home's wireless network. You also get access to Bass & Treble controls.
  • Rooms: From the app on your Apple iOS or Android device, you can select which rooms you want playing. You can play the same music in multiple rooms by grouping rooms together, or you can listen to a different source in each room.
  • Music: You can select which source you want to listen to from the app. Choose from online music services like Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Rhapsody, etc.; your music library from your Apple iOS or Android device, Windows PC, or USB thumbdrive; and the unit's Aux input. You can also select music from Playlists you've created and your recent listening history.
  • Now Playing: The "Now Playing" screen displays song, artist, and album information; along with Album Art. You also get basic playback controls like Play/Pause and Previous/Next Track, plus Volume controls Up/Down and Mute. In addition the "Now Play" screen functions unique to the selected online music service or music library.
Note: The only controls that are physically located on the HEOS 1 speaker are Volume Up/Down and Mute.

HEOS Account: Prior to using the system, you'll need to setup up your free HEOS account. Your HEOS account remembers all your settings and preferences such as all your music service logins and HEOS playlists. When you'd like to add multiple smartphone or tablet controllers to your system, you only need to sign in to each new device with your HEOS user name and password. Instantly all your music services and HEOS playlists are available in the new controller too. If you prefer, we support multiple HEOS accounts in a single household. This way, each family member can enjoy their own personalized Pandora or Spotify account settings and still share all the same speakers in the home.

Multi-Room Configuration: Combing the HEOS 1 with other Denon HEOS wireless music amplifiers and speakers (sold separately), you can configure a true wireless multi-room sound system in your home. You can play the same song in every room or any combination of rooms you choose, including a different song in every room. The Denon HEOS wireless audio system automatically synchronizes audio playback between multiple speakers so that the audio coming from different rooms is perfectly in sync with great sound.

  • Systems: The HEOS wireless multi-room sound system by Denon can support up to 32 HEOS music amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, and/or speakers (sold separately) on a single wireless network.
  • Groups:  You can join or group up to eight individual speakers or amplifiers into a group of speakers that function as if they were a single speaker. The HEOS App is also flexible enough where you can create up to 16 Groups (2 speakers/amplifiers per Group).
  • Party Mode: You can easily group eight rooms together into Party Mode by using a "pinch" gesture.
Note: A Group refers to the HEOS App's ability to take multiple HEOS systems and play them together so you're outputting the same source information from of all of the HEOS systems at the same time. Grouping the systems will also allow for proper synchronization to all systems so you should never hear an audio delay between the HEOS systems.

Stereo Pairing: You can configure two HEOS 1 speakers to work together as a stereo pair; one as the left speaker, and one as the right speaker.

Other Features

Mounting Options: You can place the HEOS 1 speaker almost anywhere you want to enjoy great sounding music. The compact enclosure features humidity resistance, making the HEOS 1 ideal for listening in damp or steamy environments, such as the bathroom. The HEOS 1 speaker can simply be placed on a table-top, or it can even be mounted on a wall or ceiling using the standard 1/4"-20 threaded insert on back of the speaker and an optional wall-mount bracket (sold separately). Please follow these simple guidelines when determining where to place the HEOS 1 speaker.

  • The speaker must be within range of your wireless network.
  • The speaker must be near an AC power outlet.
  • The HEOS speaker is designed to sound best when placed 3-12" from a wall.
  • Locate the speaker at least 12" from a television, computer, or other display device to avoid the possibility of interference.
  • Place the speaker across the room from where you will be listening, as close to ear level as possible.
Note: The HEOS speaker is not waterproof. Do not place it near any water source and do not leave it outside in the rain or snow.

AC Power + Power Modes: The Denon HEOS 1 operates off of standard household current using the supplied AC power adapter (100-240V). The speaker system offers 3 power modes.

  • Network Standby: To save power, the speaker will automatically enter "Network Standby" whenever there is no network access or playback for 20 minutes and will automatically resume to full power whenever the speaker is selected and playing music. There is no visible indicator or LED that will show that the speaker is in Network Standby as it is a fully automatic function.
  • Deep Standby: The speaker also has the ability to automatically enter "Deep Standby" whenever the wired or wireless network connection is removed for more than 60 minutes. The front panel LED will turn off during Deep Standby. To "wake" a speaker from Deep Standby, you must press the volume or mute buttons which will immediately turn on the front panel LED.
  • Off: To completely turn off the power to the speaker you must remove the mains plug from the back of the speaker.

Optional Go Pack: Denon's Optional Go Pack (033HS1GPKB/W, sold separately) features a high capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery that delivers 6 hours of playback time, and includes a USB Bluetooth wireless streaming adapter, as well as a silicone splash guard to seal the jacks to protect from splashing water.

Firmware Updates: Firmware and software updates from Denon are delivered to the HEOS 1 via your home network's Internet connection. When such updates become available, you will be notified when you open the HEOS app on your Apple iOS or Android device.

Q
What is the range of the speakers?
marion  Jul 29, 2015
1 answer
A
I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: The range is dependent on the WiFi network that they are being used in conjunction with. For example if your WiFi network has a 100 foot range, that would be the range for these speakers. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.

You could play it outside if you are using Heos speakers inside and on your wifi network, but most likely not if using another home stereo
