Technics Grand Class SL-1210GR Direct Drive Turntable System

Manufacturer's Description

Fusing Technics’ traditional analog and digital technologies, the SL-1210GR is the new standard in direct drive turntable systems. With a newly developed coreless direct-drive motor and precise motor control technology that eliminates cogging from rotation irregularity, plus a low-vibration, high-rigidity platter and high-sensitivity tonearm, the SL-1210GR outperforms the usual standards of its class, for rich, robust sounds and true high-fidelity listening.

• 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 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
