TECHNICS SL-1200G SILVER

Grand Class - rigid chassis and 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 marketed in 1972 and established itself as an absolute reference in any musical sector (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ), here declined without compromise in Audiophile version, with prodigious design, engineering and construction quality, indisputably unparalleled - newly developed brushless DC direct drive Coreless motor, without iron core and with double rotor structure, capable of minimizing vibrations and ensuring constant performance over time, assisted by a control technology with switching of the drive mode depending on the operating status of the motor, with absolute precision and stability properties, capable of eliminating at the root the phenomena of "cogging", the rotation irregularities originating, in standard electric motors, from the interaction between the rotor magnets and the slots stator - 10 mm thick, 3.6 kg plate with a three-layer structure for high rigidity and extreme vibration damping, composed of a top layer of brass, a middle layer of die-cast aluminum and a lower layer of SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) shock-absorbing rubber - massive chassis with internal metal shielding and a four-layer structure: a central body in die-cast aluminum, sections embedded in BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) injection-molded polymers, a lower base in heavy damping rubber and a 10 mm thick brushed aluminum top panel - high-damping feet with a die-cast zinc shell and a silicone rubber core reinforced by cylindrical polymer tubes - gimbal suspension tonearm and universal static balance with an "S" profile made of an extremely light cold-drawn magnesium alloy, immune to vibration and the high sensitivity typical of Technics gimbal suspensions, featuring horizontal and vertical rotation axes that intersect in a a single center point and precision bearings with cut-out housing, equipped with graduated instruments for height adjustment (VTA), anti-skating and tracking force with counterweight, characterized by inimitable accuracy, practicality and tactile pleasure - system subjected to precision balancing at the factory by means of advanced measuring and calibration instruments, certified with the affixing of the "Balanced" label - rotational speeds of 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM and 78 RPM - high torque drive with lightning-fast start-up response, from standstill to 33 and 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and instantaneous electronically controlled braking system - oscillation and vibration (wow & flutter) deviations of less than 0.025% (typically equal to or less than 0.015%), at the limits of the measurable - measurement and adjustment apparatus for rotational speed and intonation (pitch), articulated by means of special instruments juxtaposed on the turntable surface: platter profile with strobe mirrors arranged in 4 rows, blue LED strobe light built into the power button and slide selector to set the desired value, choosing between the ranges +/-8% or +/-16% and with reset button to return to the nominal rotation speed regardless of the slide selector position - removable pop-up cover with LED light to illuminate the platter in dark environments - 3x auxiliary weights (small, medium, large) to extend the tonearm/cartridge compatibility - gold-plated milled brass Phono L/R RCA audio output connectors - dust cover, mat, EP record adapter, aluminium headshell with adjustable azimuth, overhang adjustment gauge, audio cable and earth cable included - Silver finish - dimensions (W x H x D) 453 x 173 x 372 mm - weight 18 Kg
