Product description Technics SL-1200 MK5
When scratching and making quick transitions, the record needs to reach speed quickly and slow down in a controlled manner when stopped. The Technics SL-1200 MK5 combines quartz direct drive with adjustable braking speed and is designed for DJ and Hi-Fi setups with manual turntable operation.
The brushless DC motor reaches the rated speed of 33⅓ RPM in 0.7 seconds, with a starting torque of 1.5 kg·cm. The electronic brake can be adjusted separately: using an adjustment opening, you can set whether the platter comes to a stop slowly or quickly. This lets you adapt the braking behaviour to the way you work.
You can select speeds of 33⅓ or 45 RPM; the pitch control adjusts the speed continuously by up to ±8 per cent. Pressing the reset button immediately returns playback to the selected rated speed. For tracking, the turntable has a low-mass S-shaped tonearm with gimbal suspension. The tonearm height can be adjusted using a lockable ring, while a scale at the rear of the tonearm helps you find a previously used counterweight setting.
Other features include an anti-skating control with an adjustment range of up to 6 g and a retractable LED stylus light. The die-cast aluminium housing with rubber insert and the vibration-damping construction form the basis of the drive unit. The wow and flutter is specified at 0.01% WRMS; the rumble signal-to-noise ratio is 78 dB (IEC 98A, weighted) or 56 dB (unweighted).
For DJs, the adjustable brake, pitch control and fast start-up time are key features; in Hi-Fi use, the two speeds and manual tonearm adjustment matter. The SL-1200 MK5 is therefore suited to setups that call for direct drive and classic pitch control.
