Description
Precise, stable rotation and powerful drive torque
The direct drive system uses a slow-rotating motor that drives the platter directly on the same axis. This system offers many advantages, such as excellent rotational stability, high drive torque, pleasant maintenance-free operation, and outstanding reliability over its entire lifespan. However, older direct drive motors were characterized by cogging torque, small micro-vibrations resulting from magnetic polarity changes. The SL-1200MK7 uses a new drive motor whose stator is coreless. Therefore, this motor is also free from cogging torque. The gap between the coreless stator and the rotor (drive magnets) has been minimized to maximize the drive torque. This allowed for a torque equivalent to that of the SL-1200MK5.
New functions for more creativity
Adjustable starting and braking torque
The SL-1200MK7 impresses with innovative motor control technologies. These were primarily used and perfected in the latest generation of Blu-ray players. Controlled by a microcomputer, the controller handles both normal playback and more demanding DJ applications such as scratching without problems. In addition, the starting torque and braking speed can be adjusted to individual preferences.
Pitch function for fine-tuning speed
The rotational speed of the SL-1200MK7 can be set to 33-1/3, 45, or 78 rpm.* The pitch adjustment range is ±8%/±16%. This allows for highly precise and stable fine adjustment of the speed as well as perfect matching of, for example, two SL-1200MK7 units in DJ operation. *The use of 78 rpm is activated via the main on/off switch.
Reverse Play Function
When the speed button and the start/stop button are pressed simultaneously, the platter rotates in the opposite direction*. This opens up new creative possibilities for the DJ. *The Reverse Play function is activated via the main on/off switch.
*The cartridge system must be designed for scratching.
High-sensitivity tonearm
The tonearm is statically balanced and designed in an S-shape – typical for Technics models. The tonearm tube is made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum, while the bearing section of the gimbal suspension features a milled housing and high-precision bearing elements. This ensures excellent tracking with minimal unwanted stylus movement even under harsh conditions, such as during scratching.
Stylus illumination with bright, long-lasting LED
The telescopic stylus illumination uses a new push mechanism and a bright, long-lasting white LED. In addition, the illumination area and intensity have been adjusted. Compared to previous models, this ensures better visibility of the stylus – even in very dark environments.
Detachable power and signal cable for greater flexibility
The power and phono cables of the SL-1200MK7 are detachable, allowing them to be quickly replaced. The gold-plated phono connectors ensure best sound quality and contact properties.
Highly stable chassis and effective damping feet
The chassis of the SL-1200MK7 is very stable and extremely low in vibration. The aluminum die-cast chassis is firmly attached to a construction made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Copolymer) plastic reinforced with glass fibers. The two-layer construction offers the highest level of strength and vibration damping, thus guaranteeing faithful, dynamic sound reproduction. Spring-rubber construction feet ensure optimal damping. They also ensure stability in horizontal movement. This combination guarantees uncomplicated handling, especially when scratching, and very good interference immunity – even at very high sound levels.
