Technics Grand Class SL-1210GR2 Direct Drive Turntable, Black Overview
The Technics Grand Class SL-1210GR2 Direct Drive Turntable is a marvel of modern vinyl engineering, combining high-quality sounds and stylish aesthetics. This turntable employs Delta Sigma Modulation which features a coreless direct driver and motor drive system to transmit an exceptional sine wave and reduce unwanted vibrations. Taking influence from the original SL-1200 turntable, the brand-new SL-1210GR2 features a robust S-shaped tonearm to offer excellent record tracking. Moreover, the three-millimetre die-cast cartridge spacer adjusts the Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA) and Stylus Rake Angle (SRA) to help improve sound quality.
Partnering the motor control is the multi-stage silent power supply, combining low-noise, high-speed 100kHz output and a noise-cancelling circuit to deliver an expert signal-to-noise ratio. The SL-1210GR2 turntable doesn't just play your records; it caters to every format, including 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm speeds. With the help of dynamic pitch control, you be able to fully manipulate the platter for smooth song transitions.
Featuring a two-layered bottom chassis made of aluminium and BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound), the SL-1210GR2 eliminates unwanted resonance to improve your vinyl listening experience. Additionally, the SL-1210GR2 now offers cardboard cushioning in its packaging, making a significant step towards helping the environment. Brimming with quality, the brand-new SL-1210GR2 turntable is the perfect way to relish your favourite records.
