Exquisite Sound Quality & Engineering Innovation

The Denon DP-450USB Turntable stands out by combining a robust DC motor drive system with a precision-engineered belt drive and metal bearing. This combination reduces wow and flutter to an impressive 0.10% (WRMS), ensuring that every note is delivered with clarity and fidelity. The built-in switchable phono EQ further refines the audio output, intensifying the depth and detail of your vinyl records.

Versatile Playback & Digital Integration

Designed for flexibility, the DP-450USB offers dual-speed operation – a standard 33-1/3 RPM mode and a vibrant 45 RPM setting – adapting seamlessly to your vinyl collection. Its manual operation empowers you with full control over the playback, inviting a more engaging and tactile listening experience. Additionally, the integrated USB input/output feature simplifies the process of recording and transferring your cherished music library to digital formats.
