Denon DN-S3500s at Gatecrasher
 In further evidence that Denon DJ is set to become the next industry standard in CD/MP3 players, the world renowned club and dance music brand Gatecrasher has made the first high-profile acquisition of its new flagship DN-S3500 tabletop CD/MP3 players. Three of the new devices have gone straight into the DJ booth at the new 1,400-capacity Discothèque in Leeds, opened by Gatecrasher following a £3m conversion this past northern Autumn.
The Denon DNS3500 direct drive players support both the Denon and Pioneer cueing methods - and it was this, coupled with the advanced feature set, that appealed to the dance brand. In fact, the DN-S3500 provides the DJ with arguably his most creative tool ever. In addition to supporting all cueing methods, DJs have been impressed by Denon's proprietary 12-pole Direct Drive brushless motor design, delivering instant full rotation speed, with 2.5kg/cm of start-up torque within 0.5 secs. This gives true turntable reaction and response, allowing the DJ to perform as freely as if he were using a genuine vinyl turntable.
Denon has also facilitated the opportunity to create the right mood on the dance floor (by remixing on the fly), thanks to the product's on-board effects. These provide full parameter control with a unique Dry/Wet mix control knob of the four effects.
Gatecrasher director Simon Oates, summarised: "There is a great synergy between these two leading brands. Denon is now becoming a major force in the CD/MP3 market."

Helpful Hints

Single coil Pick-Up
Single coil pick-ups consist of six magnets (one under each string) which are surrounded by one continuous coil of wire. Single coils are excellent for thinner more percussive styles of playing. Single coils are also susceptible to 50-60 cycle hum which can be a problem if using a high gain setting on an amplifier.
Sound Reinforcement
Traditionally this term was used for exactly what it states, i.e. the amplification of audio signals in a "live" situation, be that a sound system for a live concert or a theatre of any sort, or a Public Announcement type system etc. In the last few decades the usage of the term has expanded to include most sound installations both permanent and portable, and in practice covers almost any type of sound system installation except those used in homes and recording studios.
