Technics SL-1200G and SL-1210G Series Grand Class Direct Drive Turntable ON SALE IN STORE SPECIAL
In Store Special. While Quantities Last.
The new Technics 1200G and 1210G set an incredibly high standard standard. While it looks familiar on the outside to previous generations, only the dust cover remains the same — every other component on the inside has been redeveloped to create the highest performance direct-drive turntable.
They combine Technics’ traditional analogue technology and progressive digital technology, while redesigning parts throughout. Its outstanding performance has rocked the hi-fi market and redefined the reference for direct-drive turntables.
These turntables have redefined vinyl playback standards thanks to the newly developed iron-coreless direct drive motor, eliminating unwanted “cogging”, thus enabling a new level of rotational stability.
Together with evolutionary improvements in the fields of tonearm, platter and chassis construction, the SL-1210G has made its way out of pure DJ usage towards the audiophile market with its high-quality integrity, accuracy and musical enjoyment.
Simply add your choice of cartridge for truly superb vinyl playback.
Features:
Coreless direct drive eliminates cogging and achieves smooth rotation
- The twin-rotor construction reduces minute vibration during rotation while maintaining high torque.
- The high-precision motor control technology switches the drive mode depending on the operational status of the motor. This technology combines high torque with high stability.
Tonearm with high-precision bearings achieves high initial-motion sensitivity
- The tonearm pipe employs magnesium which provides high rigidity.
- The use of traditional Technics gimbal suspension construction and high-precision bearings attains high initial-motion sensitivity.
Three-layered turntable delivers smooth rotational stability
- The turntable has a three-layered construction with a rigidly combined brass and aluminium diecast platter, and a rubber covering its rear surface to eliminate unnecessary resonance. With this construction, high rigidity and vibration damping are achieved.
- The use of a heavyweight-class turntable generates a large inertial mass. It delivers smooth rotational stability.
Four-layered cabinet construction and insulators based on thorough anti-vibration design
- The top panel of immaculate aluminum has been added to the three-layered construction of aluminum diecast, BMC, and heavyweight- class rubber. This four-layered construction combines high rigidity with a high quality finish and feel.
- The insulators employ special silicon rubber to ensure high vibration damping and long- term reliability. They completely dampen external vibration and suppress howling noise.
High-quality terminals
- The use of brass-milled and gold-plated terminals prevents degradation in sound quality.
- Inside the case, metal shielding construction is used to diminish the effects of external noise.
Highly accurate turntable speed maintained with pitch control
- The digital control method is adopted to achieve constant pitch control.
- A pitch variable range select button (×2) is provided, allowing for pitch control with a range up to ±16 %.
