About The Denon DP-400 Turntable
Rediscover your passion for vinyl with the Denon DP-400 Hi-Fi turntable with auto speed sensor for precise sound reproduction. Strong construction and elegant design blends seamlessly into the existing Denon Design Series. The S-Shape curved tonearm lifts automatically and stops the platter when vinyl reaches the end of playback. The weighted, belt-driven platter supports 33⅓ rpm, 45 rpm or 78 rpm records with precision that's faithful to the original recording. An integrated phono equalizer creates an open, enveloping sound stage for your cherished albums with detailed, accurate reproduction. A Moving Magnet cartridge comes fitted as standard and the exclusive, removable dust cover doubles as a display stand.
Specially Engineered Tonearm: The '400 features a carefully engineered curved, horizontal tracking angled tonearm with auto-lift and playback stop. When the vinyl reaches the end of playback, the tonearm auto-lifts and returns to its seated position, preserving the excellent condition of your album. Curved tonearm design also reduces harmonic distortion, ensuring a crystal clear sonic signal every time you listen.
Strong-Built Construction: Solid construction offers both the strength and high-density needed to reproduce detailed, resonance-free music. Thick cabinet walls and a weighted platter provide the optimal surface for your vinyl collection, reducing external vibration.
Weighted, Belt-driven Platter with Auto Sensor: The integrated auto sensor accurately controls the platter, preventing unwanted speed fluctuations during playback - enjoy audio reproduction exactly as the artist intended.
Compact Size, Sophisticated Aesthetic: Built for High Performance and ease of set up the DP-400 features a sophisticated form factor and solid construction while durable aluminium offers a modern aesthetic. The DP-400 matches the sleek lines of the Denon Design Series, The Renowned CEOL Series as well as Denon's Classic 43cm Hi-Fi Components. At just 41 cm in width, DP-450USB is constructed to fit seamlessly into your existing Hi-Fi system. Though compact in size, it still delivers the powerful, detailed sound you expect from Denon.
Cartridge Options: Includes a moving magnet cartridge for more precise listening and added musical detail. Denon have been producing great sounding cartridges for a long time so you can enjoy the Denon DP-400 turntable with confidence. If you prefer listening via a moving coil cartridge, easily swap out the existing MM cartridge to fit your audio preferences. Enjoy iconic Denon sound quality however you choose to listen.
Phono Equalizer: A built-in moving magnet phono equalizer creates an open, enveloping sound stage that enlivens your cherished vinyl collection while staying true to the original recording as the artist intended. Connect it directly to a mini component or integrated amp for seamless use.
Easy Setup and Operation: Takes minutes to unbox and quickly operate for novice and seasoned vinyl fans. Plug DP-400 into your favourite amplifier or system, including the Denon Design Series, and immediately begin reconnecting with your vinyl collection — it's that easy.
Exclusive, Removable Dual-Purpose Dust Cover: Removable dust cover features a modern design, elevating the overall aesthetic of DP-400 while eliminating vibration issues that affect music quality associated with attached covers. Doubling as a display stand for your album cover, place the dust cover upright on the included base and show it proudly to friends and family
Our Take On The Denon DP-400
To start with the most important factor, the sound the Denon DP-400 reproduces is amazing. It is transparent, warm and very detailed, you will clearly hear the difference coming from any lower-end to mid-range model. With that, the sound also has no distortions and is very accurate in speed.
The DP-400 is easy to set up and use. It comes with a built-in moving magnet preamp, meaning you can connect it directly to an amplifier or powered speakers. As for modern features, it offers 33⅓, 45 & 78 rpm speed selection and an auto stop feature that stops playing records after they are finished and simultaneously raises the tonearm.
Lastly, we think the design is really something to behold. Just look at the photos, it is clean minimal and curved. It has the look and feel of a sleek Apple product. The Denon DP-400 turntable will easily blend into any interior and be a great centrepiece for your system.
