TECHNICS SL-1300G BLACK

SL-1300G BLACK

Grand Class Series;
- rigid-chassis, 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 the music industry (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ), here explicitly designed in an Audiophile version, with astonishing design, engineering, and build quality;
- newly developed Coreless DC brushless direct-drive motor, iron-core-free with a single-rotor/single-stator structure, aided by the advanced and revolutionary PWM Delta Sigma Drive switching control technology, capable of minimizing harmonic distortions and vibrations, ensuring smooth and precise rotation, with constant performance over time and able to eliminate "cogging" phenomena – rotational irregularities originating, in standard electric motors, from the interaction between rotor magnets and stator slots;
- latest-generation Multi-Stage Silent switching power supply circuit, free from mechanical vibrations, with a switching frequency exceeding 100 kHz, free of induced noise, perfected by an innovative system for active detection and elimination of any disturbance by applying an inverse-phase current capable of eliminating persistent noise;
- 10 mm thick and 3.6 Kg heavy platter with a three-layer structure of high rigidity and extreme vibration damping capability, composed of a brass top layer, a die-cast aluminum central layer, and an SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) shock-absorbing rubber bottom layer;
- robust chassis with internal metal shielding and a two-layer frame structure, with a die-cast aluminum central body and a base with embedded sections in BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) injection-molded polymers, topped with a 10 mm thick aluminum upper panel;
- isolating feet made of special high-damping silicone rubber;
- universal static-balance gimbal suspension tonearm with an "S" profile in very light aluminum alloy, equipped with high-precision bearings, fitted with graduated instruments for height (VTA), anti-skating, and tracking force adjustment with a counterweight, distinguished by inimitable accuracy, practicality, and tactile pleasantness, hand-assembled;
- system subjected to precision balancing in the factory using advanced measurement and calibration instruments, certified with the "Balanced" label;
- rotation speeds of 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM, and 78 RPM;
- high motor torque with lightning-fast startup 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;
- 3x auxiliary weights (small, medium, large) to extend tonearm/cartridge compatibility;
- superior quality gold-plated Phono L/R RCA audio output connectors;
- dust cover, slipmat, 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 13 kg.
