Denon DP-DJ150

Successor : Denon DP-DJ151

The Denon DP-DJ150 offers several groundbreaking features not found on other turntables on the market and is a more advantage turntable than it's little brother the Denon DP-DJ100. The DJ-DP150 is equipped with a SPDIF coaxial digital output, which enables direct recording to a digital storage medium (MD, CD-R, DAT, hard disk, etc.) while preserving the highest sound quality. The digital signal is output at a constant 16 bits at 44.1 kHz regardless of rotation speed.

Another 'world's first' feature on the DP-DJ150 is Denon's unique 'Key Adjust', also found on the company's DN-2600F dual CD player. This is the first time that a digital effect has ever been integrated into a turntable. When Line Out is selected, the turntable incorporates a built-in DSP to maintain a constant key even when rotation speed is altered. Furthermore, the DJ-DP150 also sports a built-in phono equalizer that permits it to be connected directly to an amplifier, sampler, MD recorder or other device that does not have a Phono Input jack.

The DP-DJ150 utilize a bi-directional servo control direct drive motor with single-body construction to deliver an impressive start-up torque of 12.25 pounds per inch (2.2 kg/cm). This level of torque enables the turntable to quickly reach stable speed and allow 'scratching'.

DJs may choose from three available RPM speeds-33-1/3, 45 and 78. Pitch can be continuously altered in a range of ±12% while maintaining a highly accurate rotation. A long stroke slide lever provides sufficient throw to make even the finest pitch adjustments.

The DP-DJ150 feature a built-in electronic 'brake' mechanism. A one-touch operation immediately activates the brake, which is automatically released when the turntable comes to a stop. Time required to stop the turntable on the DP-DJ150 can be selected from one of three options (Normal/Medium/Slowest).
