Technics SL 1210 II Turntable

Product Information

Now that Technics have returned, the main selling point of the 1000 over the SL1210 is fairly simple: it comes in at a lower price point. Other than that, the formula is familiar: it’s the same basic look and feel, very similar sound and solid, durable construction. A worthy alternative to the MK7.

This motor was adopted for the SL-1200G, which once again drew a significant response in the hi-fi market. The SL-1200GR2 inherits the same design philosophy with the new development of a single-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct drive motor, resulting in the elimination of cogging. Almost all DJ turntables are now direct-drive models, meaning they have better pitch stability and more power than the cheap belt-drive models which used to be common entry-level options. More expensive options look very similar to cheaper models, which means it’s sometimes not obvious what more you’re getting for your money.

This is a phenomenon of modern design, which has remained the same since it's inception in the late 70s and has never been bettered for all round performance, quality and reliability. The reverse play function, which brings forth new possibilities of creative performance, makes its first appearance in the SL-1200 Series. In addition to 33-1/3 rpm and 45 rpm, a rotation speed of 78 rpm is supported.At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Panasonic announced it would be resuming production with a new line of turntables, [32] beginning with the Limited Edition SL-1200GAE [33] The new standard model inheriting the technology of the SL-1200G, which was developed as a reference direct-drive turntable for the next generation. The design was the first time a turntable could absorb the frequencies and vibrations from being played in a loud environments such as clubs and bars. As such, it went on to be the industry standard for DJ’s around the world. A cult status that this 30 year old turntable still holds to this day. Notes:Very cool DJ-Bag from Technics. The Technics bag is available in many fashionable colours and is provided with a stable plastic insert, which gives the bag a consistent shape and good protection.

The majestic daddy of DJ turntables - the Technics SL-1210, with all it's 1200 and mk3 & 5 spin-offs - if you'll pardon the pun.. Assuredly you read or have heard about the direct drives: Nerveous, jittery playing always hunting for the right speed (so the preconception). The Reloop RP-8000 MK2 is the obvious choice for DJs who use digital vinyl system (DVS) software such as Serato or Traktor. It’s a clever hybrid turntable which includes controller features designed specifically for software. With its gimbal suspension construction, the tonearm bearing section uses a cut-processed housing that employs high-precision bearings, as in the SL-1200G. The high initial-motion sensitivity of 5 mg or less is achieved through manual assembly and adjustment by skilled Japanese artisans. This enables the grooves etched into the records to be accurately traced. We think you'll agree our 6 Year Guarantee offers fantastic value. What's more, if you don't use itThe DJ turntable market is in good health, with value for money at the entry-level price range, and true professional options at the high end. These were limited edition versions, with 24 karat gold plated metal parts including tonearm and buttons. Many "non-official" special models of the SL-1200 and SL-1210 appeared over the years, mainly given away as prizes for turntablism, most notably the DMC World Championship, who awarded the winner a pair of 24K gold plated Technics turntables. Due to the customisation trend that has grown in the DJ community, many local events or competitions gave away custom coloured or finished units. The newly developed driver uses a 40mm-diameter CCAW voice coil. It achieves clear, detailed sound, and high-durability input (2,500 mW) with no distortion even at high volumes. Also, because the sound is well balanced from low to high ranges, DJ play in high-volume surroundings is not buried in noise and monitoring is comfortable.
