Name: Technics SL-1300G Grand Class Manual Three-Speed Direct Drive Turntable (Black)
Brand: Technics
SKU: TESL1300GK
Price: 4097.99 USD

The SL-1300G Grand Class Manual Three-Speed Direct Drive Turntable from Technics is designed to deliver high rotational accuracy and low vibration for accurate vinyl playback. It features a Delta Sigma twin-rotor coreless direct drive motor, three-layer dampened platter, and high-rigidity chassis for super resonance resistance, along with a multistage silent power supply with noise-cancelling circuit, for superb hi-fi audio performance.

Stable Rotation with Coreless Direct Drive Motor

The SL-1300G's motor was redesigned to eliminate subtle vibrations that could affect sound quality. The use of a coreless direct drive motor eliminates uneven turntable rotation, and twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing load while maintaining high torque, reducing minute vibrations during rotation. To improve rigidity, the same reinforcement pattern as the Reference Class SL-1000R/SP 10R was used for the coil mounting base.

Delta Sigma Drive System

The state-of-the-art Delta Sigma Drive system harnesses Technics' expertise in PWM (pulse width modulation) signal processing. In addition to reducing harmonics, the drive suppresses vibrations from the motor for smoother, more accurate rotation, ensuring a rich reproduction of the music.

Vibration Resistant Design

The platter uses three-layered construction combining a rigid brass weight and die-cast aluminum, with deadening rubber covering its entire back surface to eliminate unnecessary resonance. This delivers smooth rotational stability and inertial mass surpassing the broadcast-standard SP-10MK2, and has more than twice the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5.

Further ensuring high rigidity is a body with two-layered construction that solidly unifies the BMC and the aluminum die-cast chassis. Reinforcing ribs have been added between the motor/tone arm on the top panel. This improves rigidity and vibration damping characteristics.

Additional Details

Special silicon rubber insulators supporting the body ensure high vibration damping characteristics and long-term reliability
Gold-plated phono terminals for detachable cables
Eco friendly packaging reduces the amount of plastic used by around 70% compared to previous product packaging

Factory Balanced

When the weight distribution of the turntable is uneven, excess vibration or noise occurs during rotation, which causes degradation in sound quality. Therefore, the balance of the turntable is adjusted at the factory using specialized high-precision balance adjustment equipment for each and every item after the turntable is assembled. Turntables that have undergone adjustment are labeled with a sticker reading Balanced, to indicate that the adjustment has been done.

Multistage Silent Power Supply

Use of a high-speed switching power supply ensures a stable supply capacity and less ripple and humming. Applying a switching power supply to a turntable eliminates the need for a large transformer and countermeasures for the ensuing mechanical vibrations. A switching frequency of above 100 kHz limits the impact of noise on the music playback bandwidth.

This technology combines a noise detection device with an error amplifier. It detects residual noise in the power supply and applies an inverse phase current to remove noise components. It removes low-frequency noise more effectively than a regulator to ensure that the power supply is ideal.

Sensitive S-Shaped Tonearm

The tonearm employs a lightweight rigid aluminum pipe in the traditional static balance universal S-shape. Featuring gimbal suspension and high-precision bearings, it achieves high initial motion sensitivity through meticulous construction that ensures the record's grooves are accurately traced. Plus, it includes an auxiliary weight, providing flexibility for a variety of pickup cartridges.
