The Technics SL‑1200GR2 is the first of the new generation of Grand Class direct‑drive turntables, combining Technics’ legendary precision engineering with advanced motor control technology. The coreless direct‑drive motor delivers stable, accurate rotation with exceptional low wow and flutter (0.025% W.R.M.S.), while the revolutionary ΔΣ‑Drive (Delta Sigma Drive) technology suppresses minute vibrations for the smoothest playback.
Featuring a newly designed low‑noise switching power supply—developed using know‑how from Technics’ Grand Class amplifiers and top‑tier components—this turntable eliminates external noise and hum for an exceptionally clean signal path. The rigid two‑layer aluminum platter and high‑damping silicon insulators isolate vibrations, while the static‑balanced S‑shaped aluminum tonearm achieves high initial‑motion sensitivity for precise groove tracking.
The SL‑1200GR2 supports 33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM playback with variable pitch control (±8% and ±16%), electronic braking, and a stylus target light for accurate cueing. A universal headshell accommodates your choice of high‑quality moving‑magnet or moving‑coil cartridges. Build‑up to 33⅓ RPM in just 0.7 seconds ensures responsive, professional‑grade performance whether for serious listening or DJing. Add a quality cartridge and experience the refined, detailed sound that has made Technics the standard in vinyl playback.
