Technics Grand Class SL-1200G - Silver

Description

The SL-1200G combines Technics' traditional analog technology with advanced digital technology while redesigning several parts in their entirety. Its exceptional performance has literally shaken up the high-fidelity market and redefined the benchmark for direct-drive turntables. The SL-1200G invites more music lovers to enjoy the richness and robustness of analog disc sound.

Coreless direct drive motor

Conventional analog turntables have problems with degradation in sound quality caused by factors such as minute speed vibration during rotation and rotation irregularity called cogging. In the SL-1200G, the use of a coreless direct drive motor with no iron core eliminates cogging. Also, the twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing load while maintaining high torque and also reduces minute vibration during rotation. These factors enable reproduction of the warm, exquisitely detailed sound etched on analog records.

High-precision motor control technology

The application of motor control technology developed for Blu-ray devices and switching the drive mode depending on the operational status of the motor achieve a high-starting torque and high-speed stability.

High-level balance adjustment

When the weight distribution of the turntable is uneven, excess vibration or noise occurs during rotation, which causes degradation in sound quality. Therefore, the balance of the turntable is adjusted at the factory by using specialized high-precision balance adjustment equipment for each and every item after the turntable is assembled.

High-quality terminals

The use of brass-milled, gold-plated phono terminals and ground terminals prevents degradation in sound quality while enabling the easy attaching and detaching of cables. Also the use of metal shielding construction inside the case reduces the effects of external noise.
