Home Hi-Fi Components Headphones Cables & Accessories Cartridges & Stylus Technics SL-1500C - Direct Drive Turntable Coreless direct drive motor Aluminium die-cast platter Static-balance universal S-shape tonearm Built-in phono equalizer In good working condition Colour Black Voltage 110 - 240v Warranty 30 Days Condition Previously Owned Sold as Each HTFH Cat. No. EB1946 Non UK/EU customers, please contact us for accurate shipping rates. Features Unit is in good condition. Unit is supplied with all original accessories and box. However there is no Ortofon 2M red cartridge stylus (cartridge is included) and the black 7 adapter has been changed for a silver 7 adapter. There are some small marks just behind the tonearm on the chassis. The metal on the back of the tonearm has been bent out slightly (see pics). However the aux weight can still be used, it does not affect functionality. There is also some slight discolouration to the lid and some light scuffs & scratches. We do however sell this part (TTFA0457) if you require a replacement. The Latest Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieves High-precision Stable Rotation The technologies acquired through the development of the SL-1200 Series and the high-end SL-1000R model were lavishly inserted into the motor drive unit, a key part of the turntable. The motor exclusively tunes the single-rotor, coreless direct drive motor adopted by the SL-1200GR in order to read the high rotation accuracy and high-precision signals of the record. Optimal motor control is conducted for the inertial mass of the two-layer structure platter on which the vinyl record is placed with deadening rubber on the entire back surface to eliminate unwanted resonance in the aluminium die-cast platter to eliminate the rotation irregularity called cogging. The aluminium die-cast chassis is rigidly integrated with a special material consisting of ABS mixed with glass fiber to achieve a two-layer construction. The insulator is comprised of a spring and rubber to provide optimal vibration-damping characteristics. The tonearm is a static-balance universal S-shape tonearm, another Technics tradition. By adopting a high-precision bearing using the same gimbal suspension construction and machined housing as the SL-1200 Series, high initial sensitivity is achieved. In addition, reliability has been improved by incorporating a removable power cable and gold-plated terminals, which have less sound quality degradation, for the PHONO and LINE terminals. Complete Turntable with a Built-in Phono Equalizer and Cartridge Complete Turntable with a Built-in Phono Equalizer and Cartridge In order to enjoy playing analogue records more comfortably, the SL-1500C features a built-in phono equalizer and bundled cartridge. There is no need to separately prepare either one, making it easy to link with a wide range of audio equipment. The shield structure of the built-in phono equalizer suppresses the effects of external noise and noise from the power supply. It is also equipped with a switch to turn the LINE output off when it is not being used. The turntable has been designed to thoroughly shut-out adverse effects to the PHONO output. The dedicated power supply for the PHONO output terminal is isolated from the power supply for the LINE output terminal, and has been designed to prioritize sound quality by minimising the wiring of the PHONO signal. The isolated terminals also prevent wiring mistakes. An O.r.t.o.f.o.n 2M RED cartridge, which is highly acclaimed as an MM cartridge, has been selected for the bundled cartridge. Combining this high-quality cartridge with the performance of the SL-1500C will maximise the sound quality of vinyl records. Equipped with an Auto Lifter Function That Allows You to Enjoy Playing Records More Comfortably When the tonearm reaches the end of the record, the Auto Lifter function automatically raises the cartridge. This prevents unnecessary wear on your valuable vinyl records and stylus. By embedding the Auto Lifter function in the base portion of the tonearm, it eliminates impacts to the tonearm. Due to a simple design that doesn’t use motor power, there is no electrical or vibrational impact and it will not prevent the movement of the tonearm. In response to requests from many users regarding the Auto Lifter function, a design that prioritises sound quality was adopted. The functions required to playback records were kept to a bare minimum, achieving simple and easy-to-use operability. Simple Design with Functional Beauty The SL-1500C sports a simple design without unnecessary frills, while retaining the superb operating feel that is a Technics tradition. The attractive appearance lets you enjoy playing records to your heart’s content.?
