Returning to the design philosophy of the 1970s, when Denon first launched its record players, we have developed a new statically balanced S-shaped tone arm.

Based on the specifications of the tone arm that was considered a reference at the time of development of the famous DP-5000, released in 1971, and with advice from OB engineers, the effective length, overhang, offset angle, and other factors were refined to pursue performance that would more accurately trace the sound groove of the record. The headshells are universal and easily interchangeable.

The headshell is an easily interchangeable universal type, allowing the user to enjoy the differences in sound quality for each cartridge by using a variety of cartridges, including Denon's famous DL-103 (sold separately), which has been used as a standard broadcast cartridge for over 50 years since its release.

The DP-450USB comes with an MM-type cartridge pre-installed in the headshell at the time of purchase, so you can enjoy record playback right away.

The DP-450USB can also record the sound of vinyl records directly to USB memory.
