DP-35F

About the DP-35F

The Denon DP-35F is a fully-automatic direct-drive turntable manufactured between 1983 and 1987 in Japan. It incorporates Denon's dynamic servo tracer system (Q-damping method) to electronically damp low frequency resonance caused by cartridge compliance and tonearm mass, enhancing sound clarity and reducing distortion. The turntable features a lightweight, dynamically balanced straight tube tonearm with an effective length of 220mm and 16mm overhang, optimized for high compliance cartridges. It uses a linear drive motor with servo control by frequency detection and phase servo control, providing stable rotational accuracy at 33 1/3 and 45 rpm speeds. The platter is a 30mm aluminum diecast design, and the unit achieves a wow and flutter below 0.012% WRMS and a signal-to-noise ratio over 78 dB. The DP-35F includes Denon's unique magnetic record detection system and is housed in a cabinet made of high density compound (HDC) to minimize vibrations and anti-howling effects. The cartridge supplied is a Denon DL-60 MM type with a stylus force of 1.8g, although U.S. and Canadian models may not include the cartridge. Dimensions are approximately 434 x 135 x 412 mm, weighing about 7 kg. The turntable supports fully automatic operation with auto start, stop, and return functions, making it user-friendly and reliable for vinyl enthusiasts.
