The DP-400 turntable features a specially engineered S-shaped tonearm, with an optimised tracking angle and auto-lift function. As the vinyl record finishes playing, the tonearm will automatically lift back to its resting spot, preserving the condition of the vinyl and the cartridge stylus. The S-shape curved tonearm design is carefully constructed to reduce harmonic distortion, making sure you always listen to a pure and clear audio signal. The turntable contains a 3-way speed selector, 33 1/3, 45 and 78rpm, to allow for the widest array of vinyl records to be played. The built-in phono equalizer in the DP-400 creates an open and engaging sound stage, bringing your vinyl records to life. The turntable can be connected directly to a mini component or integrated amplifier for easy and straightforward use. The DP-400 is part of the Denon Design Series, and will integrated seamlessly with any component in the series, such as the DRA-100 network receiver/amplifier and DCD-100 CD player, to create a modern home Hi-Fi system. With the Denon DP-400 comes a moving magnet cartridge, for precise and accurate listening. The MM cartridge is able to pick up added musical details. The turntable also supports moving coil cartridges, so if you prefer, you can swap out the MM cartridge for a MC cartridge, and still experience quality Denon sound. Also included with the DP-400 turntable is a removable dust cover, with a modern aesthetic, that also eliminates any unwanted vibrations sometimes caused by attached covers. The dust cover is also designed to double as a display stand for your vinyl sleeves whilst the album is playing, so you can show your records proudly. An integrated auto sensor functions to accurately control the weighted, belt-driven platter during playback, in order to prevent any unwanted speed fluctuations. This means you can enjoy all your vinyl records just as the artist intended. The weighted platter and thick cabinet walls provide an optimal surface to reduce vibrations, and the solid construction gives the strength and high density needed to deliver resonance free music. The DP-400 turntable sits at just 41cm in width, meaning that in its compact size, the turntable can fit easily with any existing Hi-Fi system. Despite its compact size, the DP-400 is still capable of outputting powerful and detailed sound.
