TECHNICS SL-1300G SILVER

SL-1300G SILVER

Grand Class Series;
- rigid-chassis, direct-drive manual turntable;
- 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 specifically designed as an audiophile version, with astonishing 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 avant-garde 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, the rotational irregularities originating in standard electric motors from 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, free of induced noise, refined by an innovative system for detecting and actively eliminating any interference through the application of a reverse phase current capable of eliminating persistent noise;
- 10 mm thick and 3.6 Kg platter with a three-layer structure of high rigidity and extreme vibration damping capability, composed of a top brass layer, a central die-cast aluminum layer, and a bottom SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) damping rubber layer;
- robust chassis with internal metal shielding and a two-layer frame structure, with a central die-cast aluminum body and a base with sections inlaid in injection-molded BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) polymers, topped with a 10 mm thick aluminum top panel;
- insulating feet made of special high-damping silicone rubber;
- universal static-balance gimbal suspension tonearm with an "S" profile made of very light aluminum alloy, equipped with high-precision bearings, featuring graduated adjustment tools for height (VTA), anti-skating, and tracking force with counterweight, characterized by inimitable accuracy, practicality, and tactile pleasantness, handcrafted by hand;
- 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 torque with lightning-fast start-up response, from standstill to 33 and 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and instantaneous electronic control braking system;
- wow & flutter deviations less than 0.025%, at the limits of measurable;
- 3x auxiliary weights (small, medium, large) 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;
- Silver finish;
- dimensions (W x H x D) 453 x 173 x 372 mm;
- weight 13 kg.
