Technics SL-1200GR turntable
Product no: 9000-0031-8180 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Technics announces the SL-1200GR, a reissue of their ultimate SL-1200 turntable! It's the same legendary device with improved, modern functionality. Unlike the SL-1200G the brand launched previously, this record player is much more affordable, which means you'll be getting the same awesome quality this dependable turntable has to offer at a truly unbeatable price. It features a coreless direct-drive motor that effectively prevents any instability, and is driven by two magnetic rotary motors on either side of the sturdy, die-cast aluminium platter. As a result, your S/N ratio is as good as zero!

Stylish as a sportscar, built like a tank

The fundamental design of the SL-1200GR hasn't changed much compared to the original, but the device itself has been greatly improved. It has a reinforced platter that keeps noise to a minimum, and the tone arm housing is designed to follow the smallest grooves in your record with precision. What's more, its gold-plated RCA connections deliver purely sublime audio. This turntable has everything you need, including three adjustable speeds, a pitch fader, a light to help you lower the stylus into the right groove, a 45RPM adapter, and a dust cover.
