Denon Record Player Needles

The DP-300F, DP-400 and DP-500BT take the Denon DSN-85 needle, the DP-29F takes the DSN-82 and the DP-200USB takes the DSN-84.

The DP-3000NE is sold without a cartridge. For the DP-450USB, DP-500M and DP-1300MKII we could not confirm a needle on Denon’s own pages, so we do not name one.

Know the part number already? Denon needles by part number lists every Denon needle with the cartridges it fits.
