Dereneville is a brand that, since its inception, has specialized in absolute high-end solutions for analog music playback. Known for its uncompromising approach to precision, quality, and innovation, the company sets new standards with its turntable drives. The DMS-5001 was specifically designed to serve as a modern replacement for the legendary Micro Seiki RX-1500, RX-5000, and SX-8000 .

These classic turntables still enjoy cult status among audiophiles, but their original motor drives are now difficult to find or have deviated significantly in their technical specifications over the years. Particularly with the RX-1500 series, experience has shown that the motors often no longer precisely match the original catalog data . Mechanical wear, aged components, and occasional variations in production have resulted in many of these drives no longer offering the desired precision and speed stability.

The DMS-5001 addresses this problem and presents a modern, high-precision solution that not only preserves the original concept but also represents an improvement in every respect. Visually and mechanically based on the iconic Micro Seiki motors, it is equipped with the latest technology: A high-quality, brushless DC motor with microcontroller control ensures extremely quiet and precise speed control. The solid aluminum housing offers perfect integration into existing systems and conveys the highest level of workmanship.

Maximum flexibility through four speeds

Unlike many historical motors, the DMS-5001 offers precise control for four rotational speeds :
16.66 / 33.33 / 45.00 / 78.00 rpm

This flexibility allows for optimal adaptation to a wide variety of record formats – from classic LPs to shellac records.

Furthermore, the DMS-5001 allows for individually adjustable acceleration and deceleration ramps to be programmed. This ensures that the turntable starts up smoothly and stops just as smoothly – a crucial factor for the longevity of belts and bearings.

Individual setups and operating hour counters

Another highlight of the DMS-5001 is the ability to save three different setups .

Each set contains:
✔ Individually adjustable speeds
✔ Dedicated ramps for acceleration and braking behavior
✔ Operating hours counter for the motor and up to three different pickups

This allows the motor to be perfectly adapted to different turntables or pickup systems without having to readjust the settings every time it is changed.

Motion Care – Protection for motor and belt

Like all modern Dereneville engines, the DMS-5001 also features the Motion Care function .

After a user-programmable waiting period (between 1 hour and 7 days ), the motor starts at low speed for a duration of 5 to 120 seconds . This prevents the belt from becoming brittle or deformed due to long periods of inactivity.

This is an essential function, especially for high-quality turntables with heavy platters , as it ensures that the belt is subjected to even stress and thus provides consistent performance for years to come.
