This new drive not only reduces high harmonics but also suppresses motor vibrations, ensuring smoother and more precise rotation for comprehensive music playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe First Stage of Technics' New Generation of Direct Drive Turntables\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince developing the world's first direct-drive turntable, Technics has continuously worked to improve sound quality. Now, the manufacturer has developed the ΔΣ-Drive, which suppresses even the smallest motor vibrations and enhances the electromagnetic conversion accuracy of the cartridge. The first stage of direct-drive turntable systems featuring this technology is the SL-1200GR2.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecise, Stable Rotation and Powerful Driving Torque\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1970, Technics introduced the first direct-drive turntable to the market, and the system subsequently gained worldwide popularity. Unlike belt-drive and other systems, direct-drive systems feature a low-speed motor that directly drives the platter. This offers numerous advantages, such as the almost complete absence of S\/N ratio degradation due to motor vibrations and deceleration mechanisms, as well as high long-term reliability since no parts need to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2016, Technics developed a coreless direct-drive motor with twin rotors and rotor magnets arranged on both sides, which eliminated cogging, the rotational irregularity of the motor that was a particular problem for direct-drive systems. This motor was adapted for the SL-1200G. The hi-fi market was not unimpressed by this. The SL-1200GR2 follows the same design philosophy with the new development of a direct-drive motor with only one rotor, mounted on the surface, which eliminates shudder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Noise Circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe use of a high-speed switching power supply ensures stable supply capacity and reduces ripple and hum. The use of a switching power supply for a turntable eliminates the need for a large transformer and countermeasures for the resulting mechanical vibrations.\u003cbr\u003eA switching frequency of over 100 kHz limits the effects of noise on the bandwidth of music playback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive Noise Cancellation Through Power Injection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis technology combines noise detection with an error amplifier. It detects any residual noise in the power supply and applies an inverted phase current to remove noise components. The system eliminates low-frequency noise more effectively than a regulator, thus ensuring a more optimal power supply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Goal: Rigidity and High Vibration Damping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe platter achieves high stability and vibration damping through a two-layer construction with absorbent rubber on the entire back of the aluminum die-cast to eliminate unnecessary resonances that would otherwise be transmitted to the record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Result is Crystal Clear Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo achieve a higher inertial mass and reduce vibrations, the shape of the aluminum die-cast part has been optimized through simulation. At 2.5 kg (including the rubber mat), the platter of the SL-1200GR2 is 0.8 kg heavier than that of its predecessor, the SL-1200MK5. In addition, reinforcement ribs have been added to the back of the platter to increase stability. By increasing the contact area with the damping rubber, damping properties more than twice as high as those of the SL-1200MK5 are achieved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly Sensitive Tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tonearm, which precisely tracks the rotation of the record and allows for high-precision scanning, is the traditionally used universal S-shaped tonearm from Technics with static balance, which is not only extremely lightweight but also extremely stable due to the use of aluminum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its suspension construction, a custom-made housing with high-precision mounts is used for the tonearm, as with the SL-1200G and the SL-1200GR. The high sensitivity to initial movement of up to 5 mg is achieved through manual assembly and adjustment by Japanese specialists. In this way, the grooves in the records can be precisely captured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, a type of auxiliary weight is included, and the cartridge can be replaced by various other cartridges that are best suited to the respective musical taste. (Cartridge weight, when using the existing auxiliary weight: 10–16.4 g (cartridge head not included)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Layer Cabinet Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SL-1200GR is extremely stable due to the use of a two-layer cabinet construction, adapting the BMC and aluminum die-cast chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Damping Silicon Insulators\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the insulators supporting the cabinet, the SL-1200GR2 uses a special silicone rubber that ensures high vibration damping properties and long-term reliability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Quality Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe turntable features gold-plated phono connectors for removable cables, while the metal shielding inside the cabinet reduces the effects of external noise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Technics","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":54748506456405,"sku":"49140","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/9715\/6693\/files\/IMG49140_82490.jpg?v=1787723665","url":"https:\/\/fidelity-hh.de\/en\/products\/sl-1210gr2","provider":"Fidelity","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
