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.)
