Our most expensive turntable has direct drive.
So does our least expensive.
When Technics introduced direct drive, we set new standards for turntable performance. That's why we use direct drive exclusively in all Technics turntables.
No other system measures up to direct drive. Wow and flutter are less than 0.03% WRMS. And rumble is down to -65dB (DIN A) and -70dB (DIN B).
---WOW AND FLUTTER
Our DC motor has no noise- or static-producing brushes and virtually none of the hum normally found in AC motors.
It reaches playing speed in half a revolution and has electronic speed control that prevents speed changes due to line fluctuations.
All Technics turntables have illuminated stroboscopes, cast aluminum platters and variable pitch controls. The SL-1200 also has a precision tone arm, viscous damped cueing and low-capacitance 4-channel phono cables.
So does the SL-1100A but with a heavier platter, bigger motor and longer tone arm.
--FREQUENCY SPECTRUM OF RUMBLE
And the SP-10 is for those who insist on choosing their own tone arm.
No matter which Technics turntable you choose, you get the finest drive system that money can buy. But don't take our word for it.
Read the reviews.* And you'll agree.
The concept is simple. The execution is precise. The performance is outstanding.
The name is Technics.
