Analog Turntable

DP-500M

* Cartridge not included

■Direct Drive with Encoder and High-Torque Motor

The DP-500M uses a quartz lock servo that controls platter rotation via intervals of optical pulses passing through a slit. This control system ensures accurate rotation with no deviation from the center. The devel- opment of a high-torque motor (4.5 kg•cm) has boosted start-up speed to 0.3 second, providing quick operation and stable rotation.

■Large 13 inch Turntable with Minimized Howling

Silicon rubber, a deadening material, has been applied over the entire reverse side of the large diecast aluminum platter to minimize howl-

ing. Hologram vibration analysis was used to improve the ability of the supplied platter sheet to "hold" the record. A slight cone-shaped taper has even been applied to the sheet.

■RCA Pin-type Output

RCA pin-type output has been used for the DP-500M, providing greater flexibility when changing RCA cables to match sound quality or car- tridge impedance.

■Strong, Compact Cabinet Made of MDF (Medium Density Fiberbord)

The cabinet has been constructed in a compact size despite the large plattter size to improve rigidity and minimize howling. The MDF material offers performance close to natural wood, while also imparting a soft finish and elegant appearance.

■Sensitive Tonearm of High-end Quality

The DP-500M's tonearm has been designed for optimum sound quality through the use of diecast parts throughout to boost rigidity and careful- ly placed deadening material to minimize vibration. This universal-type tonearm accommodates a wide variety of cartridges.

■Large insulator eliminates external vibration.

■Includes aluminum diecast headshell. (Cartridge not included.)
