NEW MODEL INFORMATION
DP-500M
Analog Turntable
■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.)
