SL-1200G Grand Class

Features

Coreless Direct Drive Motor

Conventional analogue turntables have problems with

degradation in sound quality caused by factors such as minute speed vibration

during rotation and rotation irregularity called “cogging.” In the

SL-1200G, the use of a newly developed coreless direct-drive motor with no iron

core eliminates cogging. Also, the twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing

load while maintaining high torque and also reduces minute vibration during

rotation. These factors enable reproduction of the warm, exquisitely detailed

sound etched on analogue records.

High-precision Motor Control Technology

The application of motor control technology developed for

Blu-ray devices and switching the drive mode depending on the operational

status of the motor achieve a high-starting torque and high-speed stability.

Three-layered Turntable Platter

The turntable has a three-layered construction with a

rigidly combined brass and aluminum die-cast platter. With a deadening rubber

covering its entire rear surface to eliminate unnecessary resonance, thereby

achieving high rigidity and vibration damping. This delivers smooth rotational

stability and inertial mass surpassing the SP-10MK2, the direct-drive turntable

standard used by broadcast stations worldwide, as well as having more than

twice the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5.

High-level Balance Adjustment

When the weight distribution of the turntable is uneven,

excess vibration or noise occurs during rotation, which causes degradation in

sound quality. Therefore, the balance of the turntable is adjusted at the

factory by using specialized high-precision balance adjustment equipment for

each and every item after the turntable is assembled. Turntables that have

undergone adjustment are labelled with a sticker reading “BALANCED”

to indicate that adjustment has been done.

High-sensitive Tonearm

The tonearm employs lightweight magnesium which has a high

damping effect, with cold drawing improving the characteristics of the material

and achieving the high-precision required. In addition, high initial-motion

sensitivity is attained by employing the traditional Technics gimbal suspension

construction with horizontal rotation axis and the vertical rotation axis

intersecting at a single central point, as well as high-precision bearings

using a cut-processed housing.

Four-layered Cabinet Construction

A hairline-processed, 10-mm-thick top panel of immaculate aluminum

has been added to the previous three-layered construction of aluminum die-cast,

BMC, and heavyweight-class rubber on the SL-1200MK5. This four-layered

construction combines high rigidity with a high-quality finish and feel.

High-quality Terminals

The use of brass-milled, gold-plated phono terminals and

ground terminals prevent degradation in sound quality while enabling the easy

attaching and detaching of cables. Also, the use of metal shielding

construction inside the case reduces the effects of external noise.
