50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
Grab the 50th Anniversary Edition in yellow and complete your home setup. Technics has been at the forefront of djing, club and street culture for over 50 years. Developed in 1971 by a team led by the one and only Shuichi Obata at Matsushita, the Technics SL-1200 came onto the market in 1972 and this is where it began to change the shape of music around the world. After emerging from the lab at Matsushita, the Technics SL-1200 slowly worked its way into radio stations and from there became a pillar stone for many pioneering DJs such as Grandmaster Flash. To commemorate its anniversary of the legendary SL-1200 series, that helped shape music as we know it this limited edition model is available in seven colours, inspired by the street culture created by DJs. Each colour features a gold tonearm along with aspecial badge inscribed with serial number.
LIMITED EDITION ACCESSORIES
The Technic SL-1200M7L comes with a number of limited edition accessories such as, a limited edition Technics sticker, a control vinyl sticker the same colour as the turntable itself, and a slipmat featuring a gold Technics logo.
CORELESS DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR ACHIEVING STABLE ROTATION
The direct drive system uses a slow-turning motor to directly drive the platter. This system has various advantages. It offers high performance, such as rotation accuracy and powerful torque. Does not require replacement of parts and maintains high reliability over a long period of time. The original direct drive system produced a rotation irregularity called cogging. To counter act this Technics created a new coreless direct drive motor for the SL-1200M7L. This motor was developed to employ a coreless stator. The removal of the core (iron core) from the stator eliminated the root cause of cogging. Furthermore, the magnetic force of the rotor magnets was improved to the highest possible level, and the gap between the coreless stator and rotor magnets was optimised, thus achieving high-torque-performance equaling that of the SL-1200M7L. Boasting smooth rotation and powerful torque, this motor reproduces sound accurately and faithfully from the groove on an analogue record.
TORQUE / BRAKE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The newest digital motor control technology, accumulated through the development of Blu-ray disc products, is applied to improve adjustment by allowing the torque and brake speed to be adjusted individually in four steps.
THE PITCH CONTROL FUNCTION
The pitch control function allows fine adjustment of the rotation speed within ±8% / ±16%. It does this through digital control, from positional detection of the slider to rotational control of the motor, eliminating the unnecessary DA conversion. This greatly improves tracking performance to achieve accurate and stable pitch adjustment.
REVERSE PLAY FUNCTION
The reverse play function, which brings forth new possibilities of creative performance, makes its first appearance in the SL-1210 Series. In addition to 33-1/3 rpm and 45 rpm, a rotation speed of 78 rpm is supported.
LONG-LIFE WHITE LED
The stylus illuminator features a new push-type structure for intuitive operation, and employs a high-brightness and long-life white LED. The illumination area and intensity were reviewed to provide improved visibility of the stylus tip even in a dark environment.
HIGH-RIGIDITY CABINET AND HIGH-DAMPING INSULATOR
The chassis, an essential part for reducing external vibrations, inherits the audio quality enhancement technology fostered through the development of high-end turntables. The aluminium die-cast chassis is rigidly integrated with a special material consisting of ABS mixed with glass fibre to achieve a two-layer construction. The combination of this special high-rigidity material and a metal chassis raised the rigidity and vibration-damping performance to higher levels, realising a robust cabinet for beautiful sound reproduction. The insulator is comprised of a spring and rubber to provide optimal frequency characteristics. This not only assures high sound quality and superb howling resistance, but also effectively shuts out external vibrations under high sound level conditions.
