The Denon DP-3000NE Manual Three-Speed Turntable is Denon's flagship direct-drive turntable. This high-quality record player is solidly built and designed for resonance-free vinyl playback featuring Denon's static balance S-shaped tonearm for accurate tracking. The aluminum diecast platter is driven by a precision direct-drive motor for speed that does not fluctuate. The solid base finished in dark ebony wood grain is elegantly understated and will fit in most listening spaces. Additionally, the tonearm is adjustable for moving magnet or moving coil cartridges (sold separately).
Direct-Drive Motor System
The DP-3000NE follows a long Denon tradition of direct-drive motor systems that began in 1970 with the DN302F turntable for broadcast studios. The DP-3000NE exhibits rotation speed that does not fluctuate no matter the selected speed or load. It is simple to use, low maintenance, and it reaches full speed almost instantly.
Denon Original Static Balance S-Shape Tonearm
This turntable features a carefully engineered S-Shape curved tonearm with optimized tracking angle at any point of the record. This newly improved Denon arm features cartridge weight adjustment, antiskating adjustment (0 to 3g), and a newly developed arm height adjustment (0 to 9 mm). It gives you full flexibility to customize your turntable to your preferred cartridges or custom mat.
Space Vector PWM Motor Control
Space vector pulse with modulation (SV-PWM) is a new design for the motor spinning control. SV-PWM is simply an algorithm used to control the PWM (pulse with modulation) module, which basically powers the motor. SV-PWM greatly reduces harmonics in the motor, which can cause overheating and torque fluctuation and offers a continuous, reliable voltage and frequency output for long periods of listening at any rotation speed or load via continuous feedback of the rotation speed.
SMPS Power Supply
Switch mode power supply (SMPS) greatly benefits turntables by avoiding the use of a linear transformer, avoiding unnecessary vibrations. It allows integration of the power supply into the turntable, getting rid of any external power transformer or power bricks dangling behind the product. It also avoids voltage and frequency fluctuations from variations in the power grid.
Adjustable Insulator Feet
The feet are key to protect the playback from any vibration picked up from the surface on which the turntable is placed. The feet are adjustable to bring the platter perfectly in balance for the most accurate needle tracking.
