Your professional turntable cannot match the performance or reliability of this one.
The Technics SP-10 MKII.
Every professional needs the precision of the Technics direct-drive system. That's why radio stations use it. And discos abuse it. But every professional also needs abundant torque. And now you can have it. In the SP-10 MKII. At 33 1/3 RPM, the SP-10 MKII will reach the exact playing speed within 0.25 of a second.
That's less than 1/12 of a turn. While it comes to a dead stop in only 0.3 of a second. And you don't have to worry about subtle slowdowns because a tracking force of even 1,000 grams won't noticeably affect its speed.
You won't find any belts, gears or idlers in the SP-10 MKII. But you will find our lowest wow and flutter ever (0.025% WRMS). Inaudible rumble (-70dB DIN B). And a platter that spins at the exact speed (33 1/3, 45 or 78 RPM) regardless of fluctuations in AC line voltage or frequency. The reason: A quartz-locked frequency generator DC servo motor.
And the SP-10 MKII is as reliable as it is precise.
Even with its abundant torque, you can stop the platter with your hand. Because we designed it to take all the punishment a professional can dish out. Even after years of continued use.
You'll also get all the refinements a professional needs. Like a quartz-locked stroboscope. Remote control.
Electro-mechanical braking. A dynamically damped platter. And a separately housed power supply.
The SP-10 MKII. One component in the new Professional Series from Technics.
