The new SL-1200MK7 from Technics is their most advanced turntable system yet, updated with innovative new technology and designed using years of research to bring you the most developed professional turntable.
The classic direct drive system uses a slow-turning motor to directly drive the platter. This method offers high performance, precise rotation accuracy as well as powerful torque from the motor. This system is reliable and requires little to no maintenance such as replacing parts.
A coreless direct drive motor was developed for the SL-1200MK7, which uses a coreless stator to help eliminate the cause of cogging (rotation irregularities). The rotor magnets within the unit have been optimised to improve efficiency and increase torque performance to match that of the SL-1200MK5, this allows the SL-1200MK7 to boast smooth rotation and impressive sound reproduction with incredible clarity.
High Sensitive Tonearm
The tonearm on the SL-1200MK7 inherits the popular and more reliable static-balance, universal S-shape tonearm. Using high-precision bearings allows the tonearm to achieve a higher initial-motion sensitivity than the previous SL-1200MK6. The SL-1200MK7 tonearm displays excellent tracking performance and accuracy, minimising stylus jumping even when scratching.
High-Damping Insulator
Constructed with audio quality in mind, the cabinet of the unit has been designed in a way to enhance the sound quality produce by the unit and works to reduce external vibrations from causing resonance and distortion. The die-cast aluminium chasis has been bonded with ABS mixed fiber glass to achieve a two-layer construction with added support and tensile strength.
Reverse Play Function
Explore the possibilities of this new technology, expanding your creative possibilities for performances. The new reverse play function makes its first appearance within the SL-1200 range. The unit has also been upgraded to support 33-1/3 rpm, 45 rpm, as well as rotation speed of 78 rpm. The Reverse Play Function can be triggered using a switch on the main unit, as well as rotation speed and torque / brake speed.
