Created by Technics in pursuit of true analog record sound, rather than nostalgia, the SL-1200G includes the latest technologies to solve issues involved with direct-drive systems, such as cogging. The SL-1200G includes a newly developed coreless direct-drive motor with greatly increased precision by incorporating Blu-ray Disc technology for rotation control. This cutting-edge direct-drive system will surpass previous direct-drive systems. It is not a reproduction but innovation. We are redefining the reference in direct-drive turntables for the modern age.
- Newly developed coreless direct-drive motor with no iron core eliminates cogging
- Advanced motor control technology for high starting torque and high-speed stability.
- Three-layer turntable platter construction with deadening rubber to eliminate unnecessary resonance
- The balance of the turntable is adjusted at the factory using specialized high-precision equipment
- High-sensitivity tonearm with lightweight magnesium for a high-damping effect
