SL-1210GR2 BLACK

Grand Class - manual rigid chassis direct drive 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 reference in the music industry (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ), here presented in its Hi-Fi version, with stunning design, engineering, and build quality - newly developed coreless DC direct drive motor without brushes, iron core, and with a single rotor/single stator structure, supported by the cutting-edge and revolutionary PWM Delta Sigma Drive switching control technology, capable of minimizing harmonic distortions and vibrations, ensuring smooth and precise rotation, with consistent performance over time and able to eliminate "cogging" phenomena, rotational irregularities originated in standard electric motors by the interaction between the rotor magnets and the stator slots - latest generation Multi-Stage Silent switching power supply circuit, free from mechanical vibrations, with a switching frequency exceeding 100 kHz without induced noise, perfected by an innovative system for active detection and elimination of any interference through the application of a reverse-phase current capable of eliminating persistent noise - 10 mm thick and 2.5 kg anti-vibration platter with a two-layer structure composed of die-cast aluminum and damping rubber, enhanced by additional reinforcing ribs on the underside - robust chassis with internal metal shielding and a two-layer frame structure, with a central body in die-cast aluminum and a base with embedded sections in injection-molded BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) polymers, topped by a 10 mm thick aluminum top panel - highly damped special silicone rubber isolation feet - universal S-shaped tonearm with gimbal suspension and static balance made of very light aluminum alloy, equipped with high-precision bearings, featuring graduated height adjustment (VTA), anti-skating, and tracking force (with counterweight) tools, characterized by inimitable accuracy, practicality, and tactile pleasure, hand-assembled - rotation speeds of 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM, and 78 RPM - high driving torque with instantaneous start-up response, from standstill to 33 and 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and instantaneous electronically controlled braking system - wow & flutter deviations less than 0.025%, at the limits of measurability - rotation speed and pitch measurement and adjustment system, articulated by means of 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 cap with LED light to illuminate the platter in dark environments - auxiliary weight to extend tonearm/cartridge compatibility - superior quality gold-plated Phono L/R RCA audio output connectors - dust cover, mat, EP record adapter, aluminum headshell with adjustable azimuth, overhang gauge, audio cable, and ground cable included - Black finish - dimensions (W x H x D) 453 x 173 x 372 mm - weight 11.5 kg
