Diverse New Functions Adapt to Your Playing Style
Torque and Brake Speed Adjustment
Our latest digital motor control technology, developed from Blu-ray disc products, lets you adjust the torque and brake speed separately in four steps for precise control.
Pitch Control Function
Fine-tune your rotation speed within ±8% / ±16% with our digital pitch control function. It uses digital control from slider position detection to motor rotation, eliminating unnecessary DA conversion. This ensures accurate and stable pitch adjustments for improved tracking performance.
Reverse Play Function
Explore new creative possibilities with the reverse play function, making its debut in the SL-1200 Series. You can switch between 33-1/3 rpm, 45 rpm, and even 78 rpm speeds.
*Note: Torque/brake speed adjustment, rotation speed switch, and reverse play can all be controlled via switches on the main unit.
Coreless Direct Drive Motor for Stable Rotation
The direct drive system uses a slow-turning motor to directly drive the platter, offering high performance, accuracy, and powerful torque without needing part replacements. While traditional direct drive systems had issues with rotation irregularity (cogging), the SL-1200MK7 features a new coreless direct drive motor that eliminates this problem. The motor's improved magnetic force and optimized gap between the stator and rotor ensure smooth rotation and high torque, matching the SL-1200MK5. This results in accurate and faithful sound reproduction from your records.
High Sensitivity Tonearm for Reliable Performance
The tonearm, a favorite in the DJ scene for years, features the trusted static-balance universal S-shape design.
