{"product_id":"technics-sl-1500c-turntable-black","title":"Technics SL-1500C Turntable - Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere we have a splendid turntable from Japanese company Technics. Although probably best known for providing decks to the DJ community Technics also makes a fine range of turntables for the domestic market. Our example of the SL-1500C is in good condition, noting a crack towards the rear of the lid - please refer to photographs. It is supplied in original factory packaging with manual, mains cable, 45 RPM adaptor plus our standard three month warranty. Please note as we have no exact knowledge of the amount of use and wear to the fitted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge it is not included in the warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\nTechnics Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SL-1500C sports a simple design without unnecessary frills, while retaining the superb operating feel that is a Technics tradition. The attractive appearance lets you enjoy playing records to your heart’s content.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe technologies acquired through the development of the SL-1200 Series and the high-end SL-1000R model were lavishly inserted into the motor drive unit, a key part of the turntable. The motor exclusively tunes the single-rotor, coreless direct drive motor adopted by the SL-1200GR in order to read the high rotation accuracy and high-precision signals of the record. Optimal motor control is conducted for the inertial mass of the two-layer structure platter on which the vinyl record is placed with deadening rubber on the entire back surface to eliminate unwanted resonance in the aluminium die-cast platter to eliminate the rotation irregularity called cogging.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe aluminium die-cast chassis is rigidly integrated with a special material consisting of ABS mixed with glass fibre to achieve a two-layer construction. The insulator is comprised of a spring and rubber to provide optimal vibration-damping characteristics. The tonearm is a static-balance universal S-shape tonearm, another Technics tradition. By adopting a high-precision bearing using the same gimbal suspension construction and machined housing as the SL-1200 Series, high initial sensitivity is achieved. In addition, reliability has been improved by incorporating a removable power cable and gold-plated terminals, which have less sound quality degradation, for the PHONO and LINE terminals.\u003cbr\u003e\nKey Features:\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Latest Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieves High-precision Stable Rotation\u003cbr\u003e\nComplete Turntable with a Built-in Phono Equalizer and Cartridge\u003cbr\u003e\nEquipped with an Auto Lifter Function That Allows You to Enjoy Playing Records More Comfortably\u003cbr\u003e\nSimple Design with Functional Beauty\u003cbr\u003e\nTurntable Specifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Direct Drive Manual Turntable\u003cbr\u003e\nTurntable Speeds: 33.3, 45 and 78 rpm\u003cbr\u003e\nStarting Torque: 0.18 Nm \/ 1.8 kg\/cm\u003cbr\u003e\nBuild-up Characteristics: 0.7 s. from standstill to 33.3 rpm\u003cbr\u003e\nWow And Flutter: 0.025 % W.R.M.S.\u003cbr\u003e\nTurntable Platter: Aluminium diecast\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter: 332 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: Approx. 2.0 kg (Including rubber sheet)\u003cbr\u003e\nAudio Output: Phono (Pin Jack) x 1 \/ Earth Terminal x 1 \/ Line (Pin Jack) x 1\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Supply: AC 110 - 240 V, 50 \/ 60 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption: 8 W \/ Approx. 0.2W (Standby)\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 453 (W) x 372 (D) x 169 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 9.9 kg\u003cbr\u003e\nTonearm Specifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Universal Static Balance\u003cbr\u003e\nEffective Length: 230 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nOverhang: 15 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nTracking Error Angle: Within 2° 32’ (at the outer groove of 30 cm record) \/ Within 0° 32’ (at the inner groove of 30 cm record)\u003cbr\u003e\nApplicable Cartridge Weight Range: (without auxiliary weight) 5.6 - 12.0 g \/ 14.3 - 20.7 g (including head shell) \/ (with auxiliary weight) 10.0 - 16.4 g \/ 18.7 - 25.1 g (including head shell)\u003cbr\u003e\nHead Shell Terminal Lug: φ 1.2 mm 4-pin terminal lug\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50987106992469,"sku":"GM3SH001115","price":599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_2332-scaled_657d5b2c-109b-43a5-a20a-98d705689776.jpg?v=1750885769","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/technics-sl-1500c-turntable-black","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
