Technics SL1200M7L DJ Turntable

Coreless Direct Drive Motor

The direct-drive mechanism drives the platter directly using a slow-turning motor. This method provides many benefits. It provides excellent performance, such as rotation precision and forceful torque, does not need component replacement, and maintains high dependability over time. On the other hand, the direct-drive mechanism was reported to cause a rotating irregularity known as cogging, so a new coreless direct-drive motor was created for the Technics SL-1200M7L, and the magnetic force of the rotor magnets was also increased to the greatest extent feasible. In addition, the distance between the coreless stator and rotor magnets was optimised, resulting in high torque performance comparable to the SL-1200M7L. With its smooth rotation and tremendous torque, this motor reproduces sound correctly and authentically from the groove of an analogue record.

Diverse New Functions


Torque / Brake Speed Modification

The most recent digital motor control technology, gleaned through the creation of Blu-ray disc devices, is used to enhance adjustability by enabling the torque and braking speed to be modified independently in four stages.

The Pitch Control Feature

The pitch control feature enables for precision adjustment of the rotation speed between 8% / 16%. This is accomplished by digital control, from positioning detection of the slider to rotational control of the motor, hence avoiding the need for DA conversion. This significantly increases tracking performance, allowing for more precise and consistent pitch adjustment.

Playback in Reverse

The SL-1210 Series introduces the reverse play feature, which opens up new creative performance possibilities. A rotation speed of 78 rpm is available in addition to 33-1/3 rpm and 45 rpm. *The torque / brake speed adjustment, rotation speed switch, and reverse play may all be altered through switches on the main unit.

High Sensitive Tonearm

The tonearm, which has long supported the cutting edge of the DJ scene, is based on the very stable static-balance universal S-shape tonearm. It has a better initial-motion sensitivity than the SL-1200M7L due to the use of high-precision bearings. This precisely traces the groove of the phonorecord, ensuring superb tracking performance with little stylus bouncing even under extreme playing circumstances like scratching.

Enhanced Stylus Illuminator

The stylus illuminator has an innovative push-type mechanism for easy operation and a high-brightness, long-life white LED. The lighting area and intensity were revised to increase visibility of the stylus tip even in low-light conditions.

High-rigidity Cabinet and High-damping Insulator

The chassis, an important component for decreasing external vibrations, inherits audio quality improvement technologies developed during the development of high-end turntables. To create a two-layer structure, the aluminium die-cast chassis is tightly connected with an unique material composed of ABS combined with glass fibre. The combination of this particular high-stiffness material with a metal chassis increased rigidity and vibration-damping capabilities, resulting in a durable cabinet with exquisite sound reproduction. To achieve appropriate frequency characteristics, the insulator is made out of a spring and rubber. This not only ensures good sound quality and excellent howling resistance, but it also efficiently blocks out external vibrations during high sound intensity settings.
