Technics SL-1210G Direct Drive Turntable - Black

A New Standard of Direct Drive Turntable System.
Grand Class SL-1210G Clad in Stunning All Black Design.
Technics has developed the SL-1210G Direct Drive Turntable System as a reference turntable model for analogue record playbacks.
Painstaking efforts went into achieving the highest sound quality.
The SL-1210G features a newly developed direct-drive motor, meticulously balanced platter and tonearm with high tracking performance. The SL-1210G will bring a rich and pleasant music listening experience from analogue records.
The SL-1210G employs a coreless direct drive motor developed by Technics. It offers exceptionally high performance with an audiophile-grade signal-to-noise ratio, rotational accuracy and powerful torque. This motor requires no replacement of parts and delivers long-term, reliable, impressive sound.
The platter is constructed with three layers of different materials—aluminium diecast, brass and deadening rubber for high rigidity and superb vibration damping characteristics. Every platter manufactured is adjusted precisely for a rotational balance.
The tonearm is made of lightweight magnesium with excellent sound damping characteristics. What’s more, it has adopted the traditional Technics gimbal suspension construction at the bearing section. This tonearm offers high initial-motion sensitivity and accurate groove tracking performance.
