Denon DP-3000NE – Direct Drive Turntable

DP-3000NE Premium Direct-Drive Turntable

This is the flagship premium direct drive turntable from Denon®. Solid construction and S-shaped tonearm deliver detailed, resonance-free music. And the dark ebony natural wood veneer makes it a beautiful addition to your space.

Highlights & Key Technologies

Denon original static balance S-shape tonearm
Features a carefully engineered S-shape tonearm that suppresses vibration and optimizes tracking angle at any point of the record. This newly improved Denon® arm features cartridge weight adjustment, anti-skating adjustment (0-3 g), and a newly developed arm height adjustment (0-9 mm). It gives you full flexibility to customize your turntable to your preferred cartridges or custom mat.

Full adjustability
Several adjustment options allow the use of a wide variety of moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) cartridges. With 9 mm vertical height adjustment at the tonearm base, the vertical tracking angle can be easily adjusted.

Direct-drive motor
Follows a long Denon tradition of direct-drive motor system that is simple to use with rotation speed that does not fluctuate, no matter the selected speed or load, and reaches full speed almost instantly. No aging belt to be replaced in the future. 

Space Vector PWM motor control
Space vector pulse with modulation (SV-PWM) is an algorithm to control the motor’s power supply to greatly reduce harmonics and ensures continuous reliable voltage. Failure to do so can cause overheating and torque fluctuations so SVPWM 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.

Speed selector
Easily play your entire vinyl collection with playback at 33 1/3 rpm, 45 rpm, and 78 rpm.

Cartridge accessories
Denon® original headshell perfectly matches any existing MC Denon cartridge. Can be used with any compatible MM or MC cartridge. A cartridge is not supplied.

Adjustable insulator feet
The feet are key to protect the playback from any vibration picked up from the surface the turntable is placed on. The feet are also adjustable to bring the platter perfectly in balance for the most accurate tracking of the needle in the groove.

Dust cover
Features a beautiful, crystal-clear removable dust cover to protect your turntable.

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 variation in the power grid.
