TECHNICS SL-1300G

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 the music sector (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ), here expressly declined in Audiophile version, with astonishing design, engineering and construction quality - newly developed brushless DC direct drive Coreless motor, without iron core and with single rotor/single stator structure, supported by the cutting-edge and revolutionary Delta Sigma Drive PWM switching control technology, capable of minimizing harmonic distortions and vibrations, ensuring smooth and precise rotation, with consistent performance over time and capable of eliminating "cogging" phenomena, the rotation irregularities caused, in standard electric motors, by the interaction between the rotor magnets and stator slots - latest-generation Multi-Stage Silent switching power supply circuit, free from mechanical vibrations, with a switching frequency greater than 100 kHz without induced noise, improved by an innovative system for detecting and actively eliminating any possible disturbance by applying a reverse-phase current capable of eliminating persistent noise - 10 mm thick, 3.6 kg platter with a three-layer structure featuring high rigidity and extreme vibration damping capacity, composed of an upper layer in brass, a central layer in die-cast aluminum and a lower layer in SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) shock-absorbing rubber - robust chassis with internal metal shielding and a structure composed of a two-layer frame, with a central body in die-cast aluminum and a base made of sections embedded in BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) injection-molded polymers, topped by a 10 mm thick aluminum top panel - isolating feet in special high-damping silicone rubber - gimbaled suspension arm and Universal static balance with "S" profile in very light aluminum alloy, equipped with high precision bearings, equipped with graduated instruments for height adjustment (VTA), anti-skating and tracking force with counterweight, characterized by inimitable accuracy, practicality and tactile pleasure, assembled by hand - system subjected to precision balancing in the factory using advanced measuring and calibration instruments, certified with the "Balanced" label - rotation speeds at 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 less than 0.025%, at the limits of measurable - 3x auxiliary weights (small, medium, large) to extend the arm/cartridge compatibility - connectors premium quality gold-plated RCA L/R Phono audio output - dust cover, mat, EP record adapter, aluminium headshell with adjustable azimuth, overhang adjustment gauge, audio cable and earth cable included - Silver or Black finish - dimensions (W x H x D) 453 x 173 x 372 mm - weight 13 Kg
