Technics SL-1200M7LEG Limited Edition, green

Iron core-less direct drive motor for robust rotation and powerful drive torque.

In a direct-drive turntable, the motor is directly connected to the platter. In this case, the so-called cogging torque could cause small irregularities in the rotation. For this reason, a new direct-drive motor has been designed for the Technics SL-1200M7LEG that uses an iron-core-less stator, completely eliminating the source of cogging torque. This results in smooth rotation and powerful drive torque, allowing for precise and detailed sound quality on all records.

Tonearm with high sensitivity

The turntable features a statically balanced S-shaped tonearm that captures the musical information contained in the record groove. The tonearm tube is made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum, with the gimbal bearing section incorporating a machined housing and high-precision bearing elements. This ensures excellent tracking with a minimum of unwanted needle movement even under demanding conditions such as scratching.

Vibration damping platter

The die-cast aluminum platter has a two-layer construction. The entire underside of the platter is covered with vibration-absorbing rubber, which eliminates unwanted resonances and provides high stability. This protects the record from harmful vibrations and the result is an undistorted, authentic sound.

Rigid housing construction and damping feet with spring-rubber composite.

The DJ Turntable features an extremely rugged and extremely low vibration enclosure. The combination of the injection-molded aluminum frame and fiberglass-reinforced ABS plastic construction provides very high strength and vibration damping, ensuring precise and dynamic sound reproduction.

The feet of the SL-1200M7LEG provide ideal damping thanks to the spring-rubber construction. In this way, an extremely good noise immunity is achieved, which is especially welcome for scratch DJs.

Pitch function for precise and robust fine speed control.

The Technics SL-1200M7LEG offers besides the two conventional rotation speeds of 33-1/3 and 45 rpm also the possibility to activate 78 rpm via the main on/off switch. Apart from that, the pitch range can be extended from ±8% to ±16%, which delivers improved tracking performance and accuracy for perfect beatmatching thanks to fully digital control.

Needle illumination

The turntable's needle illumination features a new pressure mechanism and a brighter, longer-lasting LED. In addition, the illumination area has been optimized to make it easier to see the needle even in very dark environments.
