Technics has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the SL-1300G, a next-generation turntable designed to set a new standard in audio performance. Building on the success of the SL-1200G, the SL-1300G features the advanced ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive) motor control technology paired with a refined iron-coreless direct drive motor. This combination delivers superior motor control, minimizing vibrations and enhancing sound quality to provide an exceptional listening experience.
The Technics SL-1300G boasts a robust three-layer platter, adding mass and improving rotational accuracy for more precise sound reproduction. The turntable has a Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply, promising a low noise floor and an improved signal-to-noise ratio for a cleaner, richer sound. The S-shaped aluminum tonearm, known for its high-precision bearings, ensures smooth tracking and high initial motion sensitivity. At the same time, the insulator feet help to minimize external vibrations, preserving sound integrity.
Technics has meticulously crafted every component of the SL-1300G to deliver unparalleled audio fidelity. The coreless direct drive motor, known as cogging, eliminates uneven rotation, while the twin-rotor design reduces vibrations and enhances stability. Inspired by Technics’ Reference Class models, the reinforced chassis provides the rigidity needed to suppress unwanted resonance and maintain flawless performance.
The Technics SL-1300 G, priced at $3,300 and available in December, is set to become the go-to turntable for serious audiophiles. Combining cutting-edge technology with classic design, it’s the ultimate tool for those who demand the best from their vinyl collection.
