Technics SL-1300 Grand Class Direct Drive Turntable

This high-fidelity turntable features the new ΔΣ-Drive motor technology, designed for exceptional rotational accuracy and reduced vibration. Combined with a three-layer platter and high-rigidity chassis, it offers premium sound quality.

Key Features:

• Coreless direct-drive motor for stable, cogging-free rotation
• ΔΣ-Drive reduces motor vibrations for smooth and precise performance
• Anti-vibration design with a three-layer platter and two-layer chassis
• Low-noise power circuit with a high-efficiency switching power supply
• Precision-engineered tonearm for high initial-motion sensitivity
• High-rigidity body with silicone insulators for vibration isolation

Coreless Direct Drive Motor

The SL-1300G utilizes a coreless direct-drive motor, eliminating the uneven rotation (cogging) found in traditional turntables. The twin-rotor design reduces bearing load, ensuring high torque and minimizing vibrations during playback.

ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive)

Technics’ advanced ΔΣ-Drive system uses PWM signal processing to suppress vibrations and harmonics, delivering smooth, accurate rotation and superior sound quality.

Three-Layered Turntable Platter

The platter features a rigid combination of brass and aluminum die-cast materials, backed by damping rubber for resonance control. This provides greater rotational stability and exceeds the performance of the broadcast-standard SP-10MK2.

Two-Layered Cabinet Construction

The robust chassis combines BMC and aluminum die-cast materials, with reinforcing ribs for enhanced rigidity and vibration damping. This ensures the turntable remains steady during playback.

High-Level Balance Adjustment

To reduce vibrations and noise, each turntable undergoes precise balance adjustments at the factory using specialized equipment. Look for the “BALANCED” sticker, a guarantee of superior performance.

Low-Noise Switching Power Supply

A high-speed switching power supply provides stable energy with minimal ripple or hum, reducing mechanical vibrations for clearer sound reproduction.

Current Injection Active Noise Cancelling

This technology actively removes residual noise from the power supply, improving clarity by eliminating low-frequency noise more effectively than traditional regulators.

Precision Tonearm

The lightweight, static-balance tonearm ensures accurate tracking of the record grooves. Made with precision bearings and manual assembly by skilled artisans, it provides high initial-motion sensitivity for superior audio performance.

High-Damping Silicon Insulators

Special silicon rubber insulators offer long-lasting vibration damping, ensuring the turntable remains stable even in challenging environments.

High-Quality Terminals

The gold-plated phono terminals are detachable, and internal shielding reduces external noise interference, ensuring a pure connection.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Technics is committed to sustainability. The SL-1300G is packaged using 70% less plastic, with cushioning made from corrugated cardboard to reduce environmental impact.
