Kenwood Introduces KDC-X994, KDC-X994 and KDC-X794 New CD Receivers Available From eXcelon Retailers Only
Kenwood USA Corporation announced the introduction of three high-performance CD receivers that will be sold exclusively through the Kenwood Excelon retailer network.
The top model in the Kenwood Excelon CD receiver lineup is the KDC-X994 ($350.00 suggested retail price). A 5-line variable color LCD display is featured for easier visibility and faster scrolling of multiple music files. Selectable text sizing allows the option to choose larger text or a higher quantity of text depending on user preference. This flexible, multi-lingual display gives the KDC-X994 the ability to easily operate external media devices such as USB, iPod, iPod Touch and iPhone, and a unique master control center with volume knob duplicates many of the functions of the iPod for more intuitive operation.

The KDC-X994 also has a new, built-in Bluetooth circuit by industry-leader Parrott that provides the latest in hands-free performance and phone compatibility. Integration with existing steering wheel controls is possible through a special wired interface (optional adapter might be required). The KDC-X994 has three 4.0 volt preamp outputs with low-pass and high-pass filtering on board.
The KDC-X794 ($270.00 suggested retail price) has all of the performance and functionality of the KDC-X994 but without built-in Bluetooth and equipped with a 5-line white monochrome display. The KCA-BT300 hideaway Bluetooth module ($180.00 suggested retail price) can allow for the addition of Bluetooth connectivity at a later time.
The KDC-X794 ($270.00 suggested retail price) has all of the performance and functionality of the KDC-X994 but without built-in Bluetooth and equipped with a 5-line white monochrome display.
Completing the Kenwood Excelon CD receiver lineup is the KDC-X494 ($200.00 suggested retail price), a model perfect for the entry-level iPod customer. A front-panel USB input allows an iPod, iTouch or iPhone to be plugged in directly to the KDC-X494 using the cable provided with the Apple device or the consumer can purchase the optional Kenwood KCA-iP101 automotive grade iPod cable. A multi-line fluorescent display provides easy-to-see iPod file information and makes searching for music files simple and safe. Three 4.0 volt preamp outputs deliver lower-distortion audio performance, and built-in low-pass and high-pass filtering tailors the signal for multiple amplifiers and speakers.
