The DP-5000 inherits performance and design from its predecessor and is known for its cost-performance balance. It uses a pulse recorded inside the rim of the turntable for speed detection, which is then amplified and passed through a limiter circuit. This signal is converted into a voltage that is compared with a reference voltage to control the motor drive power supply voltage for servo control. The circuit and elements used are highly stable, ensuring reliable performance even with temperature and aging changes.
