Description
Coreless Direct Drive Motor
In conventional analog turntables, various factors can affect sound quality: for example, minimal speed variations during rotation and irregular rotation (the so-called cogging). The SL-1200G uses a newly developed direct drive motor without an iron core that prevents cogging. The twin-rotor construction reduces the load on the motor bearing while maintaining high torque. In addition, minimal vibrations during rotation are reduced. These properties allow the warm, exceptionally detailed sound of an analog record to unfold.
High-Precision Motor Control
The SL-1200G boasts high startup torque and outstanding rotational stability. This is made possible by the use of motor control technologies perfected during the development of Blu-ray players, as well as switching the drive mode depending on the current motor position.
Three-Layer Platter
The platter consists of a three-layer construction: a brass layer firmly screwed to a die-cast aluminum layer, and a bottom coating of a vibration-damping rubber compound. This ensures high rigidity and vibration-free rotation. This achieves a smoothness and inertia that even surpasses the SP-10MK2 - the former turntable standard used worldwide in many radio stations. In addition, this platter is more than twice as heavy as that of the SL-1200MK5.
High-Precision Fine Balancing
Uneven weight distribution on the platter creates vibrations and noise during rotation that affect the audio signal. Therefore, the platter of each unit is finely balanced after assembly using special, high-precision devices. Only then does the turntable receive its distinction: a sticker on the underside with the inscription "BALANCED."
Highly Sensitive Tonearm
The tonearm is made of lightweight magnesium with a high damping effect. Cold drawing improves the material properties and achieves the necessary precision. With the help of Technics' traditional gimbal suspension, where the horizontal and vertical axes of rotation intersect at a central point, as well as precision bearings with a custom-fit housing, a high sensitivity for initial movement is also achieved.
Four-Layer Chassis Construction
To the classic three-layer chassis construction of the SL-1210Mk5 made of die-cast aluminum, BMC, and heavyweight rubber, the SL-1200G adds a brushed, 10 mm thick top plate made of pure aluminum. This four-layer composite construction combines high rigidity with outstanding haptics.
High-Quality Connections
The gold-plated phono and ground connections made of milled brass prevent any impairment of sound quality and allow for easy connection and disconnection of cables. The metal shielding in the housing also reduces the effect of external interference.
