Technics SL-1500C Direct Drive Turntable White Edition
The SL-1500C turntable offers a comprehensive package, incorporating advanced features for high-quality audio playback. At its core lies a Coreless Direct Drive Motor, benefiting from the expertise derived from Technics' renowned SL-1200 Series and the upscale SL-1000R model. This motor ensures precise and stable rotation, crucial for accurately reproducing the signals encoded on vinyl records. To further enhance performance, the turntable employs a two-layer structure platter with deadening rubber to eliminate unwanted resonance, and an aluminum die-cast chassis for rigidity. Vibration damping is optimized through a combination of spring and rubber insulators. The tonearm, a static-balance universal S-shape design, boasts high initial sensitivity and reliability, complemented by gold-plated terminals to minimize signal degradation.
Included within the SL-1500C is a built-in phono equalizer and cartridge, streamlining the setup process and facilitating compatibility with various audio systems. The shielded phono equalizer minimizes external noise interference, while a dedicated power supply ensures optimal sound quality for the PHONO output. A switch allows users to deactivate the LINE output when not in use, further enhancing performance. The bundled Ortofon 2M RED cartridge, renowned for its quality, pairs seamlessly with the turntable to maximize the sonic potential of vinyl records.
For added convenience, the SL-1500C features an Auto Lifter function, automatically raising the cartridge when the tonearm reaches the end of a record. This safeguards both records and stylus from unnecessary wear without introducing electrical or vibrational interference. The design prioritizes sound quality while maintaining simplicity and ease of use, addressing user feedback regarding functionality.
Embodying a minimalist yet elegant design, the SL-1500C exudes functional beauty while upholding Technics' legacy of superb operating feel. Its understated appearance invites users to indulge in the timeless pleasure of playing records with confidence and ease.
