Denon Professional’s most affordable pro grade CD player, the DN-C620, was launched at the beginning of this month. The DN-C620 incorporates all of the features required by today’s most demanding broadcast facilities.

“The broadcast-grade drive boots up almost instantly; time taken to ‘read and ready to play’ all supported media is significantly faster than with consumer based CD players” says Denon.

The DN-C620 boasts a 1U form factor and full broadcast functionality, offering professional specifications and performance to low cost infrastructure facilities.

A professional feature set includes

Instant start
Auto CUE
Frame accurate search capability
User-definable quick replay
+/- 12% pitch control.

Advanced playback features are as follows.

A ‘finish’ mode function, with a selectable preset option of either Stop / Cue of the following track, or Recue of the current track, when the unit is in single play mode.

RS-232 control provides for integration with third party serial control systems and can output ISRC and POS codes from commercial CD releases, as well as CD-Text and ID-3 tag information. A 25 pin GPIO parallel control port facilitates full integration within broadcast systems, including fader start functionality.
