This system has various advantages. It offers high performance, such as rotation accuracy and powerful torque, does not require replacement of parts and maintains high reliability over a long period of time. On the other hand, the direct drive system was said to produce a rotation irregularity called cogging. For the SL-1210MK7, a new coreless direct drive motor was developed. This motor employs a coreless stator. The removal of the core (iron core) from the stator eliminated the root cause of cogging. Furthermore, the magnetic force of the rotor magnets was improved to the highest possible level, and the gap between the coreless stator and rotor magnets was optimised, thus achieving high-torque-performance equaling that of the SL-1210MK5. Boasting smooth rotation and powerful torque, this motor reproduces sound accurately and faithfully from the groove on an analogue record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTorque \/ Brake Speed Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe newest digital motor control technology, accumulated through the development of Blu-ray disc products, is applied to improve adjustment by allowing the torque and brake speed to be adjusted individually in four steps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Pitch Control Function\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pitch control function allows fine adjustment of the rotation speed within ±8% \/ ±16%. It does this through digital control, from positional detection of the slider to rotational control of the motor, eliminating the unnecessary DA conversion.

This time though, there’s something very special about this 1200 – it’s the first deck designed by the team at Technics for DJs. \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThat’s right, the industry standard SL1200\/1210MK2 was never intended for use as a DJ deck! While there were some updates to the legendary design, which sold over 3.5million units while in production, such as the MK5G (which added double pitch capabilities of +\/- 8 or 16%) the SL1200 MK7 is the first turntable from Technics to boast features requested by DJs. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSo, what’s new? First up the motor system has been completely upgraded – the new deck completely eliminates “cogging”, while the uprated tonearm seriously improves playback performance and sound quality – even while scratching. The MK7 also boasts torque adjustments, with 4 settings ranging from a factory MK2 setting through to high torque – which is incredibly strong yet still delivers the Technics “feel” that made the deck an industry standard.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIn addition to the torque adjustments, the brake setting can also be changed – there’s a reverse play option and even the capability to switch the deck to 78rpm mode. The LED colours can also be tweaked – allowing you to customise the deck, by simply changing the position of the dip switches located beneath the platter. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhy would you need changeable LEDs? To some this might seem like a gimmick – but consider a back to back DJ set, where both DJs are using the SL1200 MK7 but with customisation to suit their playing style, an engineer can set the decks for the first DJ as required and set the LEDs blue, while the second DJs setup is indicated by red LEDs. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eTechnics have also upgraded the pitch control – this digital unit uses a dedicated microprocessor to emulate the original analogue pitch from the MK2. The results of the emulation are staggering – with many claiming the MK7 is the tightest SL1200 they’ve ever mixed on! \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAnother serious upgrade is to the cables and connections, which traditionally were one of the most regularly serviced items on MK2 decks. Power is now supplied using an IEC cable, and the audio and ground connections are detachable. Access to these connections is via a recessed area at the rear of the deck – making quick installation and removal simple in low light environments. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe main features of the Technics SL-1200 Mk7 include: \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh torque direct drive motor\n8 \/ 16 % pitch range \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitch reset switch \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse play \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable start and stop time \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33, 45 amd 78 RPM \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved motor \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved audio isolation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED cue lamp \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch LEDs can be set to blue or red \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip mat included \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable audio and power cables \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge not included\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Technics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57331730186588,"sku":"SL1200MK7","price":799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/8101\/7948\/files\/technics-sl1200mk7-direct-drive-dj-turntable-silver-4616621.webp?v=1776096740"}],"url":"https:\/\/deck-converters.co.uk\/collections\/technics.oembed","provider":"Deck Converters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
