Technics SL-1300G Turntable

Technics SL-1300G Turntable

A twin-rotor coreless direct drive motor maintains stable rotation while reducing bearing load. ΔΣ-Drive PWM signal processing reduces harmonics and motor vibration, and a reinforced coil mounting base increases rigidity.

The three-layer platter combines brass, die-cast aluminium and damping rubber across its underside. According to Technics, its inertia is more than twice that of the SL-1200MK5. Each assembled platter is individually balanced at the factory and marked with a BALANCED sticker.

The two-layer cabinet unites die-cast aluminium and BMC composite. Ribs between the motor and tonearm reinforce the top panel, while silicone feet damp external vibration. A hand-assembled S-shaped aluminium tonearm uses precision suspension bearings to trace grooves accurately.

The Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply switches above 100 kHz, removing the need for a large transformer and its mechanical vibration. An active noise-cancelling circuit detects residual power-supply noise and counteracts it with an inverse-phase current.

Main Features

• ΔΣ-Drive and the coreless motor reduce uneven rotation and vibration transmitted towards the tonearm.
• The brass, aluminium and rubber platter combines rotating mass with resonance damping.
• Individual factory balancing helps prevent vibration caused by uneven platter weight distribution.
• A separate noise detector and error amplifier actively reduce low-frequency power-supply noise.
• Gold-plated PHONO terminals accept detachable cables; internal metal shielding reduces external interference.
• Adjustable tonearm height and two auxiliary weights accommodate a range of cartridge weights.
• Choose a cartridge separately and connect to an amplifier phono input or an external phono stage.
• Black and silver versions offer the same technical capabilities.
