DENON DL 301 II Moving Coil Cartridge

The DL 301 II Moving Coil phono cartridge is an improved version of the DL 301.

Compared to the 1980 original plastic bodied DL 301, the Aluminium alloy bodied DL 301 II reduces the weight of the cantilever the critical point of the cartridge vibration system whilst maintaining its rigidity.

The Aluminium alloy tapered cantilever is the one used on the higher end (and now discontinued) DL 303. It dramatically improves the quality of resolution, feeling of energy and tightness of low frequencies

When initially released, the DL 301 II was the world’s first cartridge which could be mounted with four screws on to the head shell (depending on the head shells overhang adjustment).

The Aluminium alloy cartridge body eliminates unwantedresonance. 

DENON DL-301 II DL 301 II DL301 II PHONO CARTRIDGE 

The Denon DL-301 II phono cartridge is the updated version of the popular Denon DL-301. The body style has been changed and output performance has been improved to provide a more detailed and articulate sound. In addition the output level of this standard output moving coil cartridge is slightly higher than most thus providing a strong response with plenty of punch.

Features 
1. Vibrating system with rigidity and light weight. The structure of the vibrating system, which is the most important element in determining the performance of the cartridge, employs a double layer tapered cantilever, a cruciform armature, and a minute solid diamond stylus. The use of this rigid and lightweight vibrating system results in proper damping, outstanding trace capability, dynamic sound and light tracking force. You get to enjoy music enormously while preserving the life of your cherished LPs.

2. Rigid body construction. In order to eliminate unnecessary resonance, not only has the structure of the frame been unified with high-strength resin to include the magnet and terminal pins, but also, a light-alloy precision-engineered case has been incorporated. As a result, rigidity of the body's structure has been improved thus resulting in a crystal clean and accurate sound quality.

3. Denon's unique 2-way dumping system. The unique Denon two-way dumping system has been employed to suppress tonal variations due to changes in room temperature and at the same time to obtain level frequency characteristics.
