Technics SL1210G Grand Direct Drive Turntable

Description

Conventional analogue turntables have problems with degradation in sound quality caused by factors such as minute speed vibration during rotation and rotation irregularity called “cogging.”

In the SL1210G, the use of a newly developed coreless direct-drive motor with no iron core eliminates cogging.

Also, the twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing load while maintaining high torque and also reduces minute vibration during rotation.

These factors enable reproduction of the warm, exquisitely detailed sound etched on analogue records.

The turntable has a three-layered construction with a rigidly combined brass and aluminium die-cast platter.

With a deadening rubber covering its entire rear surface to eliminate unnecessary resonance, thereby achieving high rigidity and vibration damping.

The tonearm employs lightweight magnesium which has a high damping effect, with cold drawing improving the characteristics of the material and achieving the high-precision required. In addition, high initial-motion sensitivity is attained by employing the traditional Technics gimbal suspension.

Constructed with horizontal rotation axis and the vertical rotation axis intersecting at a single central point, as well as high-precision bearings using a cut-processed housing.
