The first Debut turntable, introduced in the late 1990s, was a revolution for the hi-fi industry. For the first time after the arrival of Compact Disc and the assumed demise of vinyl records, an analogue product re-emerged in the "mass market” – something all music lovers could afford.  

The new DEBUT Carbon DC has been designed to set new standards in this category for the coming decade – perfectly timed as analogue today is again a respected source, while the demand for good turntables is growing again!  

The most obvious improvement is the inclusion of a CARBON TUBE for the tonearm, which increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance.  

This material normally is extensively used in high-end tonearms, but – because of cost reasons – was never used in products at lower price levels. Together with other improvements like an increase in platter size and weight to realize even smoother rotation, the overall sound quality is greatly improved. The approved belt drive design offers low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling (utilising TPE-damping) and ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability without unwanted vibration.  

The DEBUT CARBON DC will be offered in high-gloss black or shiny red, green, blue, yellow, silver or white as no-added-cost option.

•  8,6” carbon tonearm  

•  Increased platter size with more weight  

•  Precision belt drive with synchronous motor  

•  New DC power supply with ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability.  

•  New TPE motor suspension  

•  Felt mat  

•  magnetic cartridge options from Ortofon OM 10 or 2M red  

•  7 high-gloss colours

A quiet-running synchronous motor with silicone belt is driving a low-resonance platter made from MDF. A new motor control with DC power supply minimzes unwanted vibration effectively. The main platter bearing consists of stainless steelspindle and bronze bushing with Teflon bottom to seccure low friction.  

The main chassis is made from lightweight, but very stiff particle board. Essential II utilises a straight 8,6" aluminium tonearm design made from a single piece of aluminium with sapphire bearings, which offers a far better „plug & play" solution, than itʽs predecessor. Special feet effectively decouples the turntable from the surface.

The DP-200USB is a fully automatic record player that easily converts your analogue records into digital files and stores them onto a USB memory stick. Using USB memory makes it easy to carry your digital files when you donʼt have a PC near your record player. 
 Easily store your record library onto USB memory: Simply insert your USB memory stick into the USB port on the front, press the Start and Record buttons, and the DP-200USB converts your record into digital files. You don\'t need to have a PC nearby. When you insert the USB memory stick into a DENON S-52DAB or RCD-M37DAB, you can enjoy the music files in the high-quality sound that Denon audio products are renowned for. You can also record the music to a USB player that supports MP3 files and enjoy listening to the music directly from the player. 
 Includes Trans Music Manager, to obtain track numbers and information: The DP-200USB comes with Trans Music Manager (on CD-ROM) that detects the silent spaces between tracks to automatically split track numbers. You can also use a PC to access the Gracenote® music ID server and obtain track information. 
 Built-in Phono Equalizer: The DP-200USBʼs built-in Phono Equalizer lets you enjoy the music on a mini audio system or radio cassette player that does not have a PHONO jack. (The Phono Equalizer can be switched on or off.) 
 Fully automatic player: When you select the 30cm (12“) or 17cm (7“) record size, the arm automatically moves to the correct position for playing the record, and after itʼs finished, the arm automatically returns to its original position. This automatic system makes it easy to play records on the DP-200USB. 
 Aluminium diecast turntable: The DP-200USB has an aluminium diecast turntable for high inertial mass and stable rotation. 
 Includes MM cartridge
