DENON DP-500BT

Denon DP-500BT – Semi-Automatic Hi-Fi Turntable with Bluetooth

The Denon DP-500BT is a Hi-Fi turntable designed for vinyl enthusiasts who want to combine the appeal of analogue playback with the convenience of wireless technology. Elegant, versatile and easy to use, it features belt drive, a balanced S-shaped tonearm, a switchable built-in phono preamplifier and Bluetooth connectivity. This combination makes it suitable for traditional stereo systems as well as compatible wireless speakers and headphones.

Its refined design and vibration-resistant construction make the Denon DP-500BT a natural fit for modern Hi-Fi systems and dedicated listening spaces. Stable record playback helps preserve the nuances of musical recordings, delivering an engaging and natural presentation of vocals, instruments and musical detail.

Belt Drive for Stable Vinyl Playback

The belt-drive system helps isolate the record from motor vibrations, supporting smooth rotation and clean sound reproduction. The die-cast aluminium platter and vibration-resistant chassis are engineered to minimise unwanted resonance and provide a stable platform for accurate record tracking.

The DP-500BT supports three playback speeds: 33⅓, 45 and 78 RPM, allowing it to accommodate a wide range of compatible vinyl records.

S-Shaped Tonearm and Semi-Automatic Operation

The statically balanced S-shaped tonearm is designed to track record grooves accurately. The turntable comes equipped with a moving-magnet MM cartridge and DSN-85 stylus, providing a ready-to-use configuration for enjoying your vinyl collection.

Semi-automatic operation includes automatic tonearm lift and playback stop at the end of a record. This convenient function helps protect both the stylus and your records by preventing the tonearm from continuing to travel across the record after playback has finished.

Bluetooth with aptX Adaptive for Wireless Listening

A key feature of the Denon DP-500BT is its Bluetooth connectivity with support for SBC, aptX, aptX HD and aptX Adaptive codecs. Audio from your vinyl records can be transmitted to compatible Bluetooth speakers or headphones without requiring a wired audio connection to the listening system.

This makes it easy to integrate the turntable into contemporary living spaces, offering greater freedom when positioning components and making vinyl listening accessible to users who prefer a streamlined setup with fewer audio cables.

Built-In Phono Preamplifier and RCA Connection

The switchable built-in phono preamplifier allows the DP-500BT to connect directly to line-level inputs on compatible amplifiers and active speakers. When using an amplifier with a dedicated phono input, the built-in equalisation can be switched off so that the external phono stage can be used instead.

The choice between phono-level output and output with integrated preamplification makes this turntable suitable for a variety of Hi-Fi configurations, from simple systems to traditional stereo setups.

Elegant Design and Removable Dust Cover

The black finish complements the turntable's clean lines and makes it easy to match with amplifiers, audio components and speakers in different styles. The removable dust cover protects the platter and tonearm when the turntable is not in use and can be removed during playback according to personal preference.
