Technics SL-50C Direct Drive Turntable

Product Description

Technics Direct Drive Turntable SL-50C

The Technics Direct Drive Turntable SL-50C is a direct drive turntable tuned for home listening, pairing an included 2M Red cartridge with a built-in MM phono equalizer for immediate vinyl playback. It supports 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm to access a wider range of records.

Immediate Vinyl Playback

The included cartridge and built-in phono amplifier are precisely matched for optimal performance, so users can connect to active speakers or an amplifier and passive speakers and enjoy vinyl playback immediately.

Accurate, Maintenance-Free Rotation

Technics’ direct drive mechanism directly spins the platter with strong torque and has evolved with a coreless motor that eliminates cogging, delivering accurate, maintenance-free rotation. Digital control further elevates rotation accuracy through:

  • Precise speed detection
  • Per-unit calibration during production
  • Digitally optimized motor drive signals

Precision Tonearm and Cartridge

The design inherits the traditional S-shape tonearm and ensures high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering. The included 2M Red cartridge features an elliptical stylus that delivers clear sound and is precisely matched with the built-in phono EQ for optimal performance.

Rigid Platter and Vibration Control

Rigid rotation and precise torque control are achieved by a 1.26kg die-cast aluminum platter with reinforced ribs and a directly mounted motor magnet. Newly tuned insulators provide excellent vibration resistance and reduced howling, with rubber hardness optimized to shift resonance outside the audible range.

Low-Noise Circuit Design

Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring to minimize sound distortion. The built-in MM phono equalizer, optimally tuned to the included cartridge, along with premium components and case, delivers clear sound with minimal noise.

Natural MDF Construction

The cabinet uses MDF with fine layered fibers, offering quiet warmth and subtle presence to bring harmony to a living space. Available colors include Black, Terracotta Brown, and Gray.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

The SL-50C uses eco-friendly packaging by replacing styrene foam cushioning with cardboard to help reduce marine plastic waste.
