Turntable Technics SL-1200GEE-S Silver

Coreless Direct Drive Motor

Conventional analog turntables experience problems with sound quality due to adverse factors such as vibration during rotation and torque ripple - an undesirable phenomenon that causes uneven rotation. The SL-1200G's new coreless direct drive motor eliminates the second problem, while the dual-rotor design, which reduces bearing load, reduces the first without sacrificing torque. All this allows you to reproduce warm, detailed sound even from analog media.

Precision Motor Control Technology

Using motor control technology developed for Blu-ray players, the operating mode changes depending on the condition of the motor. This ensures high starting torque and stability at high speeds.

Three-layer platter

The player has a three-layer platter made of brass, cast aluminum and a rubber layer on the back surface, eliminating unwanted resonance. This design provides high strength and vibration absorption, resulting in high rotational stability and inertial mass more than twice that of the SL-1200MK5 and higher than the SP-10MK2, the benchmark direct drive turntable. class in studios around the world.

Fine-tuning the balance

Uneven weight distribution on the turntable results in excessive vibration or operating noise, which negatively affects sound quality. Therefore, the mass balance of each individual player after assembly is adjusted at the factory using specialized precision equipment. After balancing, a “BALANCED” label is placed on the player.

Highly sensitive tonearm

The tonearm design uses lightweight magnesium, a material with a high shock-absorbing effect, which improves the design characteristics and increases the accuracy of operation. In addition, the gimbal suspension traditional for Technics devices with horizontal and vertical axes of rotation intersecting at a certain point, as well as precision bearings in a specially cut cage, provide high sensitivity when starting to move.

 

Four-layer construction

The SL-1200MK5's three-layer construction of cast aluminum, bulk molding and heavy rubber is complemented by a precision-crafted 10mm thick pure aluminum top panel. This four-layer construction provides both durability and an elegant appearance.

High quality connectors

The audio and ground connectors are made of gold-plated milled brass, providing high quality sound without making it difficult to connect and disconnect cables. In addition, the presence of a metal screen inside the case reduces the impact of external noise.
