Denon 100th Anniversary Product Series

DP-A100 — Turntable


A History Like No Other.
The history of Denon turntables commenced in 1910 with the production of Japan’s first gramophone and peaked in 1939 when Denon developed a disc recorder for NHK. Denon turntables were used not only by general users but by many radio stations professionals as well. In 1970, Denon developed its own high-torque AC motor for low speeds where speed was controlled by highly precise detection of magnetic pulses recorded around the perimeter of the platter. Denon incorporated this epoch-making servo technology in its development of the direct-drive turntable whose high performance and reliability represented a clear break from conventional idler and belt drive products, and earned Denon a solid position as the brand for players used at radio stations.

DLA-100 — Cartridge


A Parallel Evolution.
The production of Denon cartridges began in 1941 when Denon began to develop cartridges for use at broadcast stations.
Since then, cartridges of superior quality have been produced alongside the evolution of the record, and in 1961 Denon jointly
produced the DL-103 with NHK, Japan’s national broadcaster, for use at FM stations. The DL-103 was able to play stereo LP records with high fidelity and reliability (providing easy handling and stability). Though the DL-103 was sold as a product for professional use, Hi-Fi audio enthusiasts felt such superior performance should not be limited to the realm of professionals, and in1970 Denon made the DL-103 available to the general market. The basic design of this model continues to achieve first-rate performance and play an active part in today’s world. The DL-A100 is an anniversary model that has been recreated to celebrate 100 years of an engineering sample that was a unique and closely held secret at the time the DL-103 was developed. The DL-A100 represents the standard model that has been in production for a little less than a half century—now reborn with the latest tuning for your enjoyment.
