Note: Technics SL1210MK7 Turntables do not include cartridges.  We recommend pairing these turntables with Ortofon Cartridges.

Features:

Torque and Brake Speed Adjustment
Our latest digital motor control technology, developed from Blu-ray disc products, lets you adjust the torque and brake speed separately in four steps for precise control.

Pitch Control Function
Fine-tune your rotation speed within ±8% / ±16% with our digital pitch control function. It uses digital control from slider position detection to motor rotation, eliminating unnecessary DA conversion. This ensures accurate and stable pitch adjustments for improved tracking performance.

Reverse Play Function
Explore new creative possibilities with the reverse play function, making its debut in the SL-1200 Series. You can switch between 33-1/3 rpm, 45 rpm, and even 78 rpm speeds.

Coreless Direct Drive Motor for Stable Rotation
The direct drive system uses a slow-turning motor to directly drive the platter, offering high performance, accuracy, and powerful torque without needing part replacements. While traditional direct drive systems had issues with rotation irregularity (cogging), the SL-1200MK7 features a new coreless direct drive motor that eliminates this problem. The motor’s improved magnetic force and optimized gap between the stator and rotor ensure smooth rotation and high torque, matching the SL-1200MK5. This results in accurate and faithful sound reproduction from your records.

High Sensitivity Tonearm for Reliable Performance
The tonearm, a favorite in the DJ scene for years, features the trusted static-balance universal S-shape design. With high-precision bearings, it offers better initial-motion sensitivity than the SL-1200MK6. This means it accurately tracks the record grooves, ensuring excellent performance and minimal stylus jumping, even during intense scratching sessions.

Stylus Illuminator Featuring a High-brightness and Long-life White LED
Our new stylus illuminator is designed for easy and intuitive use with a simple push-button operation. It features a high-brightness, long-lasting white LED that ensures you can clearly see the stylus tip, even in low-light conditions. Enjoy improved visibility and precision, making your vinyl experience smoother.

High-rigidity Cabinet and High-damping Insulator
Our advanced chassis design, inspired by high-end turntables, reduces external vibrations for pristine audio quality. The aluminium die-cast chassis, combined with ABS and glass fibre, creates a robust two-layer construction that enhances vibration-damping. The spring and rubber insulator optimizes frequency characteristics, ensuring high sound quality and excellent howling resistance. It blocks external vibrations even at high sound levels, delivering clear, uninterrupted audio in any environment.

Detachable and Gold-Plated Terminals for Flexibility and Connectivity
The power and phono cable terminals are detachable, making maintenance and transportation easier. The gold-plated phono terminals minimize sound quality degradation by preventing corrosion and oxidation, ensuring a stable and high-quality connection. This design allows for easy cable replacement and upgrades, keeping your system in optimal condition.
