Technics SL-1210GR2 Turntable

Technics SL-1210GR2 Turntable

The black turntable’s ΔΣ-Drive motor control reduces motor vibration for smoother platter rotation. The coreless single-rotor, single-stator direct drive motor eliminates the cogging associated with an iron core.

The two-layer chassis combines die-cast aluminium with BMC composite. Platter damping rubber, reinforcing ribs and silicone insulators reduce resonance and vibration transmitted from the surroundings.

The multi-stage Silent Power Supply uses a switching power supply operating above 100 kHz. Its active noise-cancelling circuit detects residual power-supply noise and compensates for it with an inverse-phase current.

The S-shaped aluminium tonearm uses precision bearings and adjustable height. Its PHONO output requires an amplifier with a phono input or a separate phono stage. Choose and purchase a cartridge separately.

Main Features

• ΔΣ-Drive uses PWM signal processing to reduce motor harmonics and vibration.
• Tonearm initial-motion sensitivity of 5 mg or less supports accurate groove tracing.
• According to Technics, the two-layer platter offers more than twice the damping performance of the SL-1200MK5.
• Gold-plated PHONO terminals accept detachable cables, while metal shielding reduces external noise.
• Startup control offers 3 torque settings; electronic brake control offers 5 braking settings.
• Pitch control provides ±8% or ±16% adjustment, with RESET returning playback to the selected nominal speed.
• A blue LED strobe assists speed control, while a pop-up white LED illuminates the stylus.
• The removable headshell, auxiliary weight and cartridge spacer accommodate a choice of cartridges.
