TECHNICS SL-1210G BLACK

Grand Class - manual turntable with rigid chassis and direct drive - 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 Coreless direct drive DC brushless 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 drive mode switching depending on the operating status of the motor, with absolute precision and stability properties, capable of eliminating at the root the "cogging" phenomena, the rotation irregularities originating, in standard electric motors, from the interaction between the rotor magnets and the stator slots - 10 mm thick platter and 3.6 kg in weight with a three-layer structure of high rigidity and extreme vibration damping capacity, composed of a top layer of brass, a middle layer of die-cast aluminum and a lower layer of shock-absorbing SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) - massive chassis with internal metal shielding and a four-layer structure: a central body of die-cast aluminum, sections embedded in injection-molded polymer BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound), a lower base of heavy damping rubber and a top panel of 10 mm thick brushed aluminum - high-damping feet with a die-cast zinc shell and a silicone rubber core reinforced by cylindrical polymer tubes - universal static balance gimbal suspension tonearm with an "S" profile made of an extremely light cold-drawn magnesium alloy, immune to vibration and the high sensitivity inherent to Technics gimbal suspension, featuring horizontal and vertical rotation axes that intersect at a single central point and precision bearings with a housing cut, equipped with graduated instruments for height adjustment (VTA), antiskating and tracking force with counterweight, characterized by inimitable accuracy, practicality and tactile pleasure - system subjected to precision balancing in the factory by means of advanced measuring and calibration instruments, certified with the affixing of the "Balanced" label - rotation speed at 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM and 78 RPM - high driving torque 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 lower than 0.025% (typically equal to or less than 0.015%), at the limits of the measurable - measuring and adjustment apparatus for rotation speed and intonation (pitch), articulated by means of special instruments juxtaposed on the surface of the turntable: profile of the platter equipped with 4-row strobe mirrors, built-in blue LED strobe light in the power button and slide switch 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 switch position - removable pop-up platter cover with LED light to illuminate the platter in dark environments - 3x auxiliary weights (small, medium, large) to extend the arm/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 ground cable included - Black finish - dimensions (W x H x D) 453 x 173 x 372 mm - weight 18 Kg
