Product Text

Technics' Grand Class turntable represents a groundbreaking step in the development of sound quality for vinyl players. With the innovative Delta Sigma Drive system, the unit is able to minimize vibrations and noise, resulting in incredibly precise and stable rotation. The coreless Direct Drive motor ensures smooth and constant rotation, crucial for quality sound from vinyl records.

The low-voltage circuitry and efficient switching power supply work together to reduce noise and hum, further enhancing sound quality. The two-layer platter, constructed with high rigidity and vibration-damping properties, contributes to a clearer and more authentic sound reproduction.

The turntable's tonearm is carefully designed for high initial motion sensitivity, ensuring accurate tracking of the vinyl record's grooves. The cabinet is robust and built with silicone isolators that effectively absorb and isolate sound from surrounding vibrations.

With the introduction of the new Delta Sigma Drive system, utilizing Technics' expertise in PWM signal processing, this turntable is capable of delivering sound quality that surpasses the traditional. Its ability to suppress high overtones and motor vibrations allows the user to experience music with unprecedented clarity and depth.

Technics' SL-1210GR2, the first step in this new generation of direct drive turntables, marks an evolution in sound technology. Its design and technical features make it a must-have for any serious vinyl enthusiast.

This model builds on Technics' legacy, which began in 1970 with the launch of the world's first direct drive turntable. The continued innovation and improvement of this technology have led to the development of the SL-1210GR2, a turntable that combines historical expertise with modern sound technology.
