Technics SL-1500CS Direct Drive Turntable

1199,00 

The Technics SL-1500CS is an audiophile-grade direct-drive turntable that blends legendary precision with modern convenience. Engineered for stable, maintenance-free performance, it features a coreless direct-drive motor and the advanced ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma) system to eliminate motor vibrations and ensure exceptionally smooth rotation.

Description

Coreless direct drive motor for stable rotation

For decades, Technics’ direct drive has delivered a precise, maintenance-free rotation. This mechanism, which drives the turntable directly with strong torque, has been further developed and now offers even more precision thanks to a coreless motor that eliminates latching torques.

ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive)

Relive audio precision with the ΔΣ drive – a state-of-the-art system that leverages Technics’ many years of experience in PWM signal processing. The drive system not only reduces the harmonics, but also suppresses the vibrations of the motor for a smoother, more precise rotation, thus ensuring wide-ranging music reproduction.

Ready to play immediately thanks to integrated phono equalizer

The built-in phono-equalizer allows instant playback without external preamps. A short internal signal path minimizes noise and maintains signal integrity, while the circuit is completely bypassed when using an external phono-EQ.

High Quality Pickup Ortofon 2M Red

Ortofon’s highly acclaimed MM pickup was chosen for high sound fidelity and dynamic playback. The combination of this high-quality pickup with the performance of the SL-1500CSmaximizes the sound quality of your records and offers you audiophile listening pleasure.

2-layer turntable with improved cushioning

The turntable has a two-layer structure: a turntable made of die-cast aluminium, which is reinforced with ribs on the back, and a damping rubber layer to avoid unwanted resonances.

S-shaped aluminium tonearm

The tonearm tube is made of lightweight, high-stiff aluminum. The cardanically mounted tonearm has a milled bearing housing and high-precision bearings, which allow an exceptionally low breakaway torque and thus ensure an exact, trace-free scanning of the groove.

Extremely stable housing

The die-cast aluminium chassis is firmly connected to a special material made of ABS and glass fibres in order to achieve a two-layer construction. The combination of this special, high-stiff material with a metal chassis raises the stiffness and vibration damping to a higher level and results in a robust housing for optimal sound reproduction.
