Introducing the SL-1300. The precision of direct drive.
The convenience of automation.
Now Technics adds convenience to perfection.
The SL-1300. The fourth and newest Technics direct-drive turntable. And the first with convenient, fully automatic operation.
Auto-Start. Auto Stop. Auto-Return. Auto-Repeat. And the kind of outstanding specifications that are normally sound only in a manual turntable.
The SL-1300, like all Technics turntables, uses cur electronically controlled D. motor.
But with an improvement The platter is part of the motor. Making the drive even more direct.
it also reduces marts, increases reliability and produces an ultra-thin profile.
The gimbal-suspended automatic arm is 9 1/16", pivot to stylus. For extremely low tracking error. And its four pairs of pivot bearings increase the rotational sensitivity while maintaining flawless balance.
Our anti-skating control requires only one scale for all types of styli. While gold-plated contacts in the head shell assure reliable contact and help prevent hum.
And we haven't forgotten the more refined details. Like Memo-Repeat. So you can play a record from one to five times. Or indefinitely. There's also a new prism strobe. Two-speed variable pitch controls. Dust cover. Feedback-insulated: legs. And low capacitance phono cables for CD-4 records.
The concept is simple. The execution is precise. The performance is outstanding. The name is Technics.
