USER MANUAL DL-A110 DENON

Thank you for purchasing a Denon 110th anniversary DL-A110 cartridge.

This unit reproduces the head shell of the DL-103 head cartridge, with a 56-year history and which can be said to be the Japanese standard MC cartridge, used by Japan's public broadcaster NHK for broadcasting when first released. It is a replica model of the head shell for the DL-103 attached to that head cartridge.

The DL-103 was jointly developed in 1964 by Denon (Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd. at the time) and NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories as a device compatible with high sound quality FM stereo broadcasting. Since its adoption by many broadcasters, it has come to be used by many music and audio fans in the consumer market in addition to for business applications.

We invite you to use this Denon 110th anniversary commemorative model, which reproduces the character seen at the birth of the DL-103, as a token of our appreciation for patronizing the DL-103 over the years.
