The Denon DP-400 turntable has a classic design and is made using high-quality materials and well-established technical solutions. The player is mounted on a massive chassis that effectively dampens unwanted resonances and vibrations, providing a reliable foundation for the entire Denon DP-400 construction.
Features:
- Massive dampened chassis
- Massive platter with belt drive
- S-shaped tonearm with electronic control and auto-stop
- Electronic speed switching and stabilization
- Built-in phono preamp
The massive platter is rotated by a belt drive from a low-noise DC motor. This solution protects the record from vibrations that could potentially be caused by the motor. The motor in the Denon DP-400 features electronic speed switching and an automatic system for adjusting and maintaining the desired speed. The Denon DP-400 is equipped with a high-quality S-shaped tonearm with a precision bearing. The player includes functions such as dropping the cartridge onto the selected track on the vinyl record with the press of a button, automatic lifting of the cartridge, and stoppage of the record at the end of the last track. The auto-stop feature in this model is switchable.
The Denon DP-400 turntable comes with an MM cartridge already mounted on the headshell, which only needs to be fixed at the end of the tonearm tube. However, the quality and range of adjustments on the Denon DP-400 tonearm, as well as its reliable damping, allow for the use of not only MM but also MC cartridges on this model. The player is equipped with a built-in phono preamp for easy connection to any stereo amplifiers and AV receivers. However, if desired, the built-in circuit can be disconnected, and the signal can be used directly from the cartridge.
An interesting feature of the Denon DP-400 design is the dust cover that is completely removable from the chassis, rather than flipping up on hinges like on most vinyl players. This way, the Denon DP-400 is protected from vibrations that could be transferred from the cover. The cover itself can be used as a convenient vertical stand for the record's sleeve.
