Technics SL-1200MK7 Direct Drive Turntable System (SL1200MK7)

Product Description

Technics SL-1200MK7 Direct Drive Turntable System

The Technics SL-1200MK7 direct drive system uses a slow-turning motor to directly drive the platter. This system has various advantages. It offers high performance, such as rotation accuracy and powerful torque. Does not require replacement of parts and maintains high reliability over a long period of time. On the other hand, the direct drive system produces a rotation irregularity called cogging. For the Technics SL-1200MK7, a new coreless direct drive motor was developed. This motor employs a coreless stator. The removal of the core (iron core) from the stator eliminated the root cause of cogging. Furthermore, the magnetic force of the rotor magnets was improved to the highest possible level, and the gap between the coreless stator and rotor magnets was optimized, thus achieving high-torque-performance equaling that of the SL-1200MK5. Boasting smooth rotation and powerful torque, this motor reproduces sound accurately and faithfully from the groove on an analogue record.

Torque / Brake Speed Adjustment

The newest digital motor control technology, born through the development of Blu-ray disc products, applies to improve adjustment by allowing the torque and brake speed to adjust individually in four steps.

The Pitch Control Function

The pitch control function on the Technics SL-1200MK7 allows fine adjustment of the rotation speed within ±8 % / ±16 %. It does this through digital control, from positional detection of the slider to rotational control of the motor, eliminating the unnecessary DA conversion. This greatly improves tracking performance to achieve accurate and stable pitch adjustment.

Reverse Play Function

The reverse play function, which brings forth new possibilities of creative performance, makes its first appearance in the SL-1200 Series. In addition to 33-1/3 rpm and 45 rpm, we also support a rotation speed of 78 rpm. *The torque / brake speed adjustment, rotation speed switch, and reverse play can be adjusted by switches on the main unit.
 

High Sensitive Tonearm

The tonearm on the Technics SL-1200MK7 turntable, which has continued to support the leading edge of the DJ scene for many years, inherits the highly reliable static-balance universal S-shape tonearm. Using high-precision bearings, it achieves a higher initial-motion sensitivity than the SL-1200MK6. This accurately tracks the groove on the phonorecord to assure excellent tracking performance with minimum stylus jumping even in harsh playing conditions such as scratching.

Stylus Illuminator Featuring a High-brightness and Long-life White LED

The stylus illuminator features a new push-type structure for intuitive operation, and employs a high-brightness and long-life white LED. The illumination area and intensity provide improved visibility of the stylus tip even in a dark environment.
