Denon DL-110 High Output Moving Coil Phono Cartridge
The Denon DL-110 is a high-output moving coil phono cartridge that bridges the gap between the convenience of moving magnet and the sonic superiority of moving coil. With an output voltage of 1.6mV — high enough to drive a standard MM phono input directly — the DL-110 delivers the low-mass, high-resolution character of a true MC cartridge without requiring a dedicated MC phono stage or step-up transformer. Handspun at Denon’s Shirakawa Audio Works factory in Japan, it is built to extract every detail from your vinyl with total authority.
Key Features
- High Output Moving Coil: 1.6mV output voltage — compatible with standard MM phono inputs, eliminating the need for a dedicated MC phono stage or step-up transformer.
- True MC Performance: Low-mass moving coil generator delivers the transient response, dynamic range, and musical detail retrieval that MC cartridges are renowned for.
- Handspun in Japan: Each DL-110 is hand-wound at Denon’s Shirakawa Audio Works factory, continuing a tradition of Japanese cartridge craftsmanship dating back to the 1960s.
- Wide Frequency Response: 20Hz – 45kHz for full-range audio reproduction from deep bass to extended high frequencies.
- Versatile Compatibility: Works with MM phono inputs on integrated amplifiers, AV receivers, and phono preamps — no additional equipment required.
- Groove Accuracy: Precision stylus geometry extracts information from the groove with total authority and minimal distortion.

Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
