Technics has released a new turntable designed for beginners. Named the Technics SL-1210g, this new turntable boasts a sleek black finish and a user-friendly design.
This new record player is the elevated version of Technics' popular SL-1200 range that launched back in the 70s. The design is very similar to Technics' 2016 SL-1200G turntable and features a direct-drive system mixed with a new direct-drive motor which is powered by a twin-rotor.
This new direct-drive motor is designed to ensure stable rotation - essentially preventing the turntable from stuttering and turning slowly. Thus, producing a high-quality sound and a device that involves little maintenance and technical fixes. The new turntable is also equipped with a sensitive tonearm and a silicone insulator that prevents undesired vibrations.
