Technics SL-50C Overview

From Manufacturer

Enjoy the reliability of their proven direct-drive motor optimized for home use with the Technics SL-50C Manual Three-Speed Direct-Drive Turntable. It comes ready to play with included Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, built-in phono EQ, and minimal setup required. With a compact design and natural textured MDF plinth it harmonizes well with any living space.

Optimized for Instant Vinyl Playback
With the included cartridge and built-in phono amplifier precisely matched for optimal performance, simply connect to active speakers, or an amplifier and passive speakers, and confidently enjoy vinyl playback immediately.
Driven by the Technics Legacy
For decades, Technics' direct drive has delivered accurate, maintenance-free rotation. This mechanism, which directly spins the platter with strong torque, has evolved to offer even greater precision with a coreless motor that eliminates cogging.
Digital Control
Digital control elevates rotation accuracy to the highest level through precise speed detection, per-unit calibration during production, and digitally optimized motor drive signals.
Circuit Layout
Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring. This minimizes distortion of sound.
Additional Details
  • Button selectable 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm platter rotation
  • Tonearm inherits the traditional S-shape and ensures high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering
  • The included 2M Red cartridge features an elliptical stylus
  • Diecast aluminum platter with reinforced ribs and a directly mounted motor magnet
  • Excellent vibration resistance and reduced howling are achieved by newly tuned rubber insulator feet
  • Eco-friendly packaging replaces styrene foam cushioning with cardboard to reduce marine plastic waste

Great product

I received my SL-50C 2 weeks ago and I have not stopped playing it. I mounted an Ortophon Bronze cart and the sound that is coming out is fantastic. No rumple, no nothing. Just silence from the player and pure music. I'm very happy with my purchase.
