The Denon DP-61F is a direct drive, fully automatic, two-speed (33 and 45 RPM) turntable with an electronic braking system. This is not a relic from the by-gone era of vinyl recordings, but rather a modern turntable controlled by a microprocessor.
General Description
The DP-61F uses a microprocessor to reproduce precise audio from the vinyl disk being played. It uses a dampened (anti-vibration) tone arm which, on this turntable, is a very light weight, low mass tube. The unit offers both a speed and record size detector and the die-cast aluminum record platter is precision machined for superior acoustic characteristics.
Technical Specs
The DP-61F features a direct drive, AC servo motor controlled drive system, which will rotate the platter at either 33.33 or 45 RPM (revolutions per minute). Wow and flutter (distortion caused by small speed variances) is certified to be below 0.008 percent WRMS, with a signal to noise ratio of exceeding 82dB. WRMS stands for "weighted mean root square," which is a technical term for power output variances in audio equipment. The DP-61F also features an electronic brake to stop the turntable from turning without having to touch it.
Physical Specs
The Denon DP-61F is a sleek looking unit, weighing 11 kg and it is 455 mm wide, 445 mm deep and 150 mm tall. Controls are of the push-button variety.
