Vinyl Player Denon DP-200USB Black

Technical features

The main material for the manufacture of the table (case) of the surveyed player was matte plastic, while the support disk is made of aluminum, as expected. Special attention should be paid to the direct tonearm used (also metal), equipped with a high-quality DSN-84 MM cartridge with a replaceable AT91 needle coated with diamond coating. It is also worth noting the fully automatic algorithm for starting / stopping playback, which will certainly be positively appreciated by the listener who is not familiar with the procedure for installing the needle on the starting groove. The scheme of functional controls, in addition to the on, start and stop keys, is represented by the start button for digitizing tracks, the speed selection key (33-1/3, 45 rpm), as well as the selector for selecting the diameter of the record being played. Among the internal components of the DP-200USB, a belt-driven electric motor deserves special attention, as well as a built-in switchable phono corrector that allows you to connect the turntable via an RCA channel directly to most speaker systems.

Sound. Digitization

Introducing the basic class of turntables Denon DP-200USB, however, provides the listener with the full range of requested emotions and impressions from listening to music recorded on newly popular vinyl discs. The bass sounds dense, legible and energetic; the middle frequencies are pleasing with information and melody, while the treble is played out loudly and expressively, generally not striving for excessive sharpness. The imaginary scene (in turn) is built volumetrically and verified, maintaining relative parity in the display of virtual space in width and depth. It is also important to mention the possibility of transferring tracks from records to USB drives, for which you only need to connect a USB flash drive and press the REC button. Further work with the received file (splitting into separate tracks, tagging) is carried out in the Trans Music Manager program, the installation CD from which is supplied with the turntable. The narration about the technical nuances of the device is completed partly by an intricate way of turning on/ off the built-in phono corrector, the toggle switch of which is located under the support.

Denon DP-200USB is an organic solution for a substantive acquaintance with music recorded on vinyl, suitable for both inquisitive listeners and experienced music lovers devoid of audiophile inclinations.
