Denon
DJ takes its innovative world’s first spinning active platter design to
the next technical level. Introducing the industry’s new flagship
DN-S3500 tabletop CD/MP3 player with a powerful 12-pole Direct Drive
motor, 7 on-board effects, intuitive control, appealing design and
style that will surely reinvent the tabletop market for all vinyl and
digital DJs alike.
The core interface of the DN-S3500 utilizes Denon’s all new proprietary
12-pole Direct Drive brushless motor design, delivering instant full
rotation speed with a powerful 2.5 kg/cm of start-up torque within 0.5
seconds for true turntable reaction and response. Selectable platter
speeds of 33.3 or 45 rpm offer analog manipulation suited to the user’s
preference. Seven onboard effects — including four superb built-in
effects such as Flanger, Filter (High-Mid-Low), Echo, and the world’s
first Echo Loop — are available for realtime performance control and
feature full parameter adjustment and a unique wet/dry mix control for
the effects. Three platter effects — Brake (adjustable in real-time),
Dump (reverse sound without losing true forward time) and Reverse (with
new reverse platter spin action) — allow DJs to interact with their
CDs, CD-R/CD-RWs and MP3 files as if they were on a analog turntable.
Like other highly acclaimed Denon DJ CD/MP3 player
turntables, the DN-S3500 features full MP3 playback support for
complete control over today’s most popular musical formats. MP3
functions include Frame Search, MP3 Hot Starts and Seamless Looping
with B point trim, ID3 tag display for Artist, Title and Album, support
for constant bit rate (CBR) and variable bit rate (VBR) decoding up to
320 kbps, and a powerful MP3 File Search System that can quickly and
easily locate hundreds of files in various folders. Also available is a
new MP3 Memo system that saves the user’s cue points and loops to
internal memory, as well as the world’s first ID3 BPM tag, which
automatically recalls the BPM metadata of a given MP3 file.
Furthermore, once a track is chosen using the convenient parameters
knob, Denon DJ’s Next Track Function with Crossfade — another world’s
first — allows the user to search for the next track to be played, then
set the unit to crossfade seamlessly at the conclusion of the current
track. This provides non-stop mix action using tracks on the same disc,
and applies to CDs as well.
The
DN-S3500 also includes many powerful sample and loop functions for
extended mixing capabilities. In conjunction with the 15 second
on-board sampler, the world’s first Seamless Loop to Sampler Copy
function allows even further creative possibilities during a
performance, such as exchanging the disc during sample playback and
overlaying CD scratches using the sampler. The world’s first Two Way
CUE Search System features both Denon and Pioneer® cueing methods to
give further customization towards the DJ’s stylistic preference. A
convenient Forward/Both directional lever that controls the output of
your scratch strokes. Two Hot Starts and seamless loops with B point
trim can be set on the fly, as can further Key Adjustments and Cue
Stutter points. CD Text support provides scrolling display of track
names when used with many commercially available discs or with the
user’s own CD-R/RW compilations.
