TECHNICS SL-1500C WHITE

SL-1500C WHITE

Premium Class Series;
- rigid-frame, direct-drive manual turntable, featuring an optional built-in MM Phono preamplifier and supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge;
- 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 presented in a Hi-Fi version, with surprising design, engineering, and build quality, well above its target;
- Auto Lifter mechanism, which can be deactivated, incorporated into the tonearm base for automatic cartridge lifting at the end of the record;
- newly designed brushless DC coreless direct-drive motor, without an iron core and with a single rotor/single stator structure, capable of minimizing harmonic distortion 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 rotor magnets and stator slots;
- 10 mm thick and 2 kg heavy vibration-immune platter with a two-layer structure composed of die-cast aluminum and damping rubber;
- robust double-layer die-cast aluminum chassis integrated with a special ABS and fiberglass compound, with a reinforced structure similar to that of high-end models, extremely effective in preventing vibrations, topped by a 10 mm thick aluminum top panel;
- universal static-balance gimbal suspension tonearm with an "S" profile made of very light aluminum alloy, equipped with graduated adjustment tools for height (VTA), anti-skating, and tracking force with counterweight, characterized by remarkable accuracy, practicality, and tactile pleasure;
- rotation speeds of 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM, and 78 RPM;
- high torque with lightning-fast start-up response, from standstill to 33 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and electronically controlled braking system;
- wow & flutter deviations below 0.025%, at the limits of measurability;
- auxiliary weight to extend tonearm/cartridge compatibility;
- double pair of gold-plated L/R RCA audio connectors, with the ability to output at Line level (using the built-in Phono preamplifier) or Phono level (to convey the signal to an external Phono preamplifier);
- dust cover, mat, EP record adapter, headshell, Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, audio cable, and ground cable included;
- White finish;
- dimensions (W x H x D) 453 x 169 x 372 mm;
- weight 9.9 kg.
