TECHNICS SL-1500C

Premium Class - manual turntable with rigid chassis and direct drive, equipped with an integrated MM Phono preamplifier that can be used as an option and supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge - evolution of what has always been unanimously recognized as the most iconic model in the history of direct drive turntables, the legendary Technics SL-1200 marketed in 1972 and established itself as an absolute reference in the music sector (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ), here expressly declined in the Hi-Fi version, with surprising design, engineering and construction quality, well above the target audience - Auto Lifter mechanism, deactivatable, incorporated into the base of the arm for automatic lifting of the cartridge at the end of the stroke - newly developed Coreless direct drive DC brushless motor, without iron core and with a single rotor/single stator structure, capable of minimizing harmonic distortions and vibrations, ensuring smooth and precise rotation, with consistent performance over time and : able to eliminate the "cogging" phenomena, the rotation irregularities caused, in standard electric motors, by the interaction between the rotor magnets and the stator slots - 10 mm thick and 2 kg heavy platter immune to vibrations with a two-layer structure made of die-cast aluminum and shock-absorbing rubber - robust double-layer die-cast aluminum chassis integrated with a special mix of ABS and fiberglass, with a reinforced structure similar to that of high-end models, extremely effective in preventing vibrations, topped by a 10 mm thick aluminum top panel - universal static balance and gimbal suspension arm with "S" profile in very light aluminum alloy, equipped with graduated adjustment tools for height (VTA), antiskating and tracking force with counterweight, characterized by remarkable accuracy, practicality and tactile pleasure - rotation speed at 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM and 78 RPM - high driving torque with lightning-fast start-up response, from standstill to 33 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and electronically controlled braking system - oscillation and vibration (wow & flutter) deviations of less than 0.025%, at the limits of the measurable - auxiliary weight to extend the arm/cartridge compatibility - double pair of gold-plated L/R RCA audio connectors, with the option of outputting at Line level (using the built-in Phono preamplifier) ​​or at Phono level (to convey the signal to an external Phono preamplifier) ​​- dust cover, mat, EP record adapter, headshell, Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, audio cable and earth cable included - available finishes: Silver, Black or White - dimensions (W x H x D) 453 x 169 x 372 mm - weight 9.9 Kg
