SL-1210G Grand Class Direct Drive Turntable System (Black). Also available in silver as SL-1200G.

The flagship in the iconic 1200 series, the Technics SL-1210G turntable sets an incredibly high standard standard. While it looks familiar on the outside to previous generations, only the dust cover remains the same — every other component on the inside has been redeveloped to create the highest performance direct-drive turntable.

The SL-1210G combines Technics' traditional analogue technology and progressive digital technology, while redesigning parts throughout. Its outstanding performance has rocked the hi-fi market and redefined the reference for direct-drive turntables.
This turntable has redefined vinyl playback standards thanks to the newly developed iron-coreless direct drive motor, eliminating unwanted “cogging”, thus enabling a new level of rotational stability.
Together with evolutionary improvements in the fields of tonearm, platter and chassis construction, the SL-1210G has made its way out of pure DJ usage towards the audiophile market with its high-quality integrity, accuracy and musical enjoyment.
Simply add your choice of the finest pickup cartridges available for truly emotional, highly inspiring vinyl playback.
