NEW MODEL I N F O R M AT I O N 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 development 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 howling. 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 cartridge impedance.

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 carefully 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.) ■ Tonearm Section Type: Static balance type, light weight S-shaped tonearm Effective length: 230 mm, 9.06 inch Overhang: 15 mm, 0.6 inch Tracking error: Within 3° Stylus pressure range: 0 - 4.0 g (0.25 g increments) Acceptable weight of cartridge: 5.0 - 11.0 g (incl. screws and nuts) (* The weight of accessorius headshell is 9.0 g.) ■ General Power Supply: AC120V, 60 Hz Power Consumption: 10W Dimensions: 450 (W) x 170 (H) x 370 (D) mm (incl. feet), 17.7 (W) x 6.7 (H) x 14.6 (D) inch Weight: 10.1 kg, 22.2 lbs.
