Technics SL-1210GR2 Direct Drive Turntable: Revolutionizing Vinyl Playback

When it comes to turntables, Technics has always been at the forefront of innovation. In 1970, they introduced the world to direct drive turntable technology, changing the game forever. The latest evolution of this groundbreaking technology can be experienced in the Technics SL-1210GR2 Direct Drive Turntable.

Coreless Direct Drive Motor for Stable Rotation

The heart of this turntable is its coreless direct drive motor. Unlike traditional belt drive systems, direct drive systems like this one offer numerous advantages, including low motor vibration and deceleration issues. They are also known for their long-term reliability without the need for parts replacement. The SL-1210GR2 features a single-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct drive motor, eliminating the once-common issue of "cogging" in direct drive systems.

Low-Noise Switching Circuit

To ensure stable power supply with minimal interference, a high-speed switching power supply is employed. This approach reduces ripple and humming, resulting in a clean and stable power source for the turntable. It's a smart engineering choice that eliminates the need for large transformers and associated mechanical vibrations.

Current Injection Active Noise Cancelling

Noise is the enemy of audio purity. Technics employs current injection active noise cancelling technology to combat this issue. By detecting residual noise in the power supply and applying an inverse phase current, it effectively removes low-frequency noise, ensuring an ideal power supply for your audio.

Rigidity and Vibration Damping

The platter of the SL-1210GR2 is designed for both rigidity and vibration damping. Its two-layer construction, combined with deadening rubber on the rear surface, eliminates unnecessary resonance that can affect the sound quality. The result is clear and pristine audio reproduction.

Precision Tonearm for Accurate Tracking

The tonearm is a critical component of any turntable, and the SL-1210GR2 doesn't disappoint. It employs a static-balance universal S-shaped tonearm with an aluminium pipe for lightweight yet rigid performance. The gimbal suspension construction and high-precision bearings ensure accurate tracking, allowing the needle to follow the grooves on your records with incredible precision.

Customization and Compatibility

The SL-1210GR2 is designed with versatility in mind. It includes an auxiliary weight and allows you to swap out the cartridge to match your music genre or preference. The possibilities are endless, with a compatible cartridge weight range of 10 - 16.4 grams (not including the supplied headshell).

Technics continues its legacy of excellence with the SL-1210GR2 Direct Drive Turntable, offering a combination of advanced technology, precision engineering, and the highest standards of audio quality. Elevate your vinyl listening experience with this exceptional turntable.

  • Coreless Direct Drive Motor for Stable Rotation: The turntable features a coreless direct drive motor, expertly engineered to achieve stable and consistent rotation. This type of motor significantly reduces potential fluctuations and inconsistencies in speed, ensuring your vinyl records spin with precision.
  • ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive) for Vibrations Suppression: The advanced ΔΣ-Drive technology is implemented to suppress vibrations originating from the motor. This results in smoother and more accurate rotation of the platter, enhancing the overall fidelity of your vinyl playback.
  • Low-Noise, Low-Voltage Power Circuit with a Switching Power Supply: The turntable is equipped with a low-noise, low-voltage power circuit and a switching power supply, designed to minimize electrical interference and noise. This ensures that the audio output remains as pure and uncolored as possible.
  • Two-Layer Platter with High Rigidity and Vibration Damping: Featuring a two-layer platter, the turntable offers a combination of high rigidity and effective vibration damping. This design contributes to stable playback and minimizes any resonance that could affect the sound quality.
  • Tonearm for High Initial-Motion Sensitivity: The tonearm of the turntable is designed to achieve high initial-motion sensitivity. This allows it to pick up even the most subtle nuances in your records, ensuring a detailed and accurate audio reproduction.
  • High-Rigidity Body with High-Damping Silicon Insulators: The turntable's body is constructed with high rigidity in mind, ensuring that it remains stable and isolated from external vibrations. The use of high-damping silicon insulators further enhances this isolation, contributing to a smoother and clearer sound output.
