What HiFi

Coreless Direct Drive Motor

In 1970, Technics revolutionised the turntable industry with the world's first direct drive system. Unlike traditional belt drive setups, our direct drive system minimises motor-induced vibrations, ensuring an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and long-term reliability without the need for frequent part replacements. However, earlier models faced "cogging" issues due to iron cores, affecting rotation regularity. The SL-1200GR2 features an iron coreless single-rotor/single-stator motor, eliminating cogging and maximising rotational smoothness. Experience superior performance and extended durability with Technics' cutting-edge technology.

New Motor-Drive System, ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive)

Unlock a new realm of audio precision with the ΔΣ-Drive – a state-of-the-art system harnessing Technics’ expertise in PWM signal processing. In addition to reducing harmonics, the new drive suppresses vibrations from the motor for smoother, more accurate rotation, ensuring a rich reproduction of the music.

Low-Noise Switching Circuit

By incorporating a high-speed switching power supply, we guarantee a consistently stable power capacity with minimal ripple and humming. This smart utilisation of a switching power supply in our turntable design not only eradicates the necessity for a large transformer but also eliminates the need for additional measures to counteract mechanical vibrations. Moreover, operating at a switching frequency exceeding 100 kHz ensures that any potential noise is confined, preserving the full bandwidth of the music playback for an uninterrupted and superior listening experience.

Active Noise Cancelling

Our innovative system teams up a powerful noise detection device with a precision error amplifier. It doesn't just detect any lingering noise in the power supply – it goes a step further by applying an inverse phase current to kick out those disruptive noise components. The result? A power supply that surpasses the effectiveness of traditional regulators, ensuring an ideal and pristine environment for your audio, free from low-frequency noise.

Free turntable setup

We carefully set up every turntable and cartridge we sell. So if you're new to turntables or have decades of experience, you know you'll be getting the most enjoyment from your system. You can be safe in the knowledge that you can take your turntable home, plug it straight in and start enjoying good music without any worry of something being setup incorrectly.

The Technics SL-1200GR2 is furnished with some clever technology but its true talent lies in just how beautifully and robustly made this turntable is, and how enjoyable it is to use as a result. There’s a pleasure in playing record after record and, coupled with its capable performance, that makes it a turntable worth putting on the shortlist.

Once you’ve selected, purchased and fitted your cartridge, you’ll be treated to a sound of rare positivity and composure. The SL-1200GR2 is a direct, solid and properly organised listen, with proper talent for integrating the frequency range, establishing a persuasive soundstage and generally making your records sound clean and composed.

Thanks to its iconic status, handsome looks and superb build quality at the price, this deck could find many new owners even if it was a less proficient turntable than it actually is. But happily, it also justifies its position in the market thanks to its fine sound quality.
