The Denon DL-102 is a moving coil phono cartridge designed for use with turntables. This cartridge is characterized by its unique design, which incorporates a low output specification that works well with high-quality phono preamps. The DL-102 features a spherical stylus that aids in tracing the grooves of vinyl records with precision, minimizing wear on both the record and stylus over time. The cartridge has an output voltage of approximately 0.3 mV, making it suitable for specific setups that can accommodate such low levels. It is designed to work best with a loading impedance of around 100 ohms. The DL-102 typically has a frequency response that ranges from 20 Hz to 50 kHz, allowing it to capture both low and high frequencies effectively. Its construction includes a robust aluminum body, which contributes to its durability and performance. The DL-102 is also appreciated for its audio fidelity, particularly in the mid-range and bass frequencies, providing a rich and full sound experience.
