TECHNICS SL-1210G BLACK

SL-1210G BLACK

Grand Class - rigid frame, direct-drive manual turntable - an evolution of what has always been unanimously recognized as the most iconic model in the history of direct-drive turntables, the legendary Technics SL-1200 launched in 1972 and established as an absolute benchmark in every musical sector (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ), here offered uncompromisingly in an Audiophile version, with prodigious design, engineering, and build quality, indisputably unparalleled - newly developed coreless DC brushless direct-drive motor, iron-coreless and with a twin-rotor structure, capable of minimizing vibrations and ensuring consistent performance over time, aided by a control technology with drive mode switching depending on the motor's operating status, with absolute precision and stability properties, capable of eliminating at the root the phenomena of "cogging," rotational irregularities originating in standard electric motors from the interaction between rotor magnets and stator slots - 10 mm thick and 3.6 Kg platter with a three-layer structure of high rigidity and extreme vibration damping capability, composed of an upper brass layer, a central die-cast aluminum layer, and a lower layer of SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) damping rubber - massive chassis with internal metal shielding and a four-layer structure: central body in die-cast aluminum, sections embedded in BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) injection-molded polymers, lower base in heavy damping rubber, and a 10 mm thick brushed aluminum top panel - high-damping feet with die-cast zinc casing and a silicone rubber core reinforced by cylindrical polymer tubes - universal static-balance gimbal suspension tonearm with an "S" profile in extremely light magnesium alloy subjected to cold drawing, immune to vibrations and with the high sensitivity characteristic of Technics gimbal suspensions, featuring horizontal and vertical rotation axes that intersect at a single central point and precision bearings with cut housing, equipped with graduated adjustment tools for height (VTA), anti-skating, and tracking force with counterweight, distinguished by inimitable accuracy, practicality, and tactile pleasure - system precision balanced at the factory using advanced measurement and calibration tools, certified with the "Balanced" label - rotation speeds of 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM, and 78 RPM - high torque with instantaneous start-up response, from standstill to 33 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and instantaneous electronically controlled braking system - wow & flutter deviations less than 0.025% (typically equal to or less than 0.015%), at the limits of measurability - rotation speed and pitch measurement and adjustment apparatus, articulated by special tools juxtaposed on the turntable surface: platter profile with stroboscopic mirrors arranged in 4 rows, blue LED stroboscopic light incorporated into the power button, and a slide selector to set the desired value, choosing between +/-8% or +/-16% intervals and with a reset button to return to the nominal rotation speed regardless of the slide selector position - retractable pop-up LED light to illuminate the platter in dark environments - 3x auxiliary weights (small, medium, large) to extend tonearm/cartridge compatibility - gold-plated milled brass Phono L/R RCA audio output connectors - dust cover, mat, EP record adapter, aluminum headshell with adjustable azimuth, overhang gauge, audio cable, and grounding cable included - Black finish - dimensions (W x H x D) 453 x 173 x 372 mm - weight 18 Kg
