Original price was: 5500,00 €.5199,00 €Current price is: 5199,00 €.
The final version of the beloved SL-1200G/1210G series has been transformed into a Master Edition, incorporating a decade of Technics’ expertise. This limited version represents the pinnacle of the SL-1200 series, featuring a special gold design and available worldwide in 1,200 silver units and 1,210 black units – each a standout in the SL-1200 legacy.
Coreless Direct Drive Motor, Achieving Stable Rotation
The SL-1200GME/1210GME features a coreless direct-drive motor that eliminates cogging for smooth rotation. Its twin-rotor construction maintains high torque while reducing bearing load and minute vibrations. The coil mounting base uses the same reinforcement pattern as the Reference Class SL-1000R/SP-10R for enhanced rigidity.
Three-layered Turntable Platter
The turntable has a three-layered construction with a rigidly combined brass and aluminium 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.
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.
Insulator
A newly developed zinc insulator using αGEL™ gelatinous material with excellent shock absorption, providing high vibration damping and minimizing feedback.
Tonearm
The tonearm uses lightweight magnesium with cold drawing for high precision. High initial-motion sensitivity is achieved through Technics’ gimbal suspension construction and high-precision bearings.
Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply
The SL-1200GME/SL-1210GME features the Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply, integrating a low-noise switching circuit and a noise-cancelling circuit.
Eco-friendly Cushioning/Packaging Materials
The SL-1200GME/1210GME adopts eco-friendly packaging materials to help curtail marine plastics and other environmental problems. The cushioning has been changed from styrene foam to corrugated cardboard, reducing the amount of plastic used by around 70% compared to existing product packaging. We have also taken steps to improve convenience by combining accessories into one box while maintaining the strength of the cushioning to protect against the product’s heavy weight.
