The Technics SL-1200 MK7 DJ Turntable represents the newest evolution of the world’s most famous DJ turntable. Reintroduced with significant enhancements, the MK7 caters to professional-level mixing and scratching, equipped with an s-shape tonearm and a direct-drive motor. This legendary turntable retains its classic features while boasting substantial advancements.
Its durable design and remarkable functionality continue, with Technics delivering top-tier turntable technology. Ideal for DJs or anyone seeking superior record fidelity, the SL-1200 MK7 is the quintessential choice for high-quality playback.
The iconic S-shape tonearm makes its return in the SL-1200 MK7. This arm, crafted from lightweight but tough aluminium, is perfectly designed for securing the stylus onto the record. A white stylus illuminator enhances visibility, while the arm’s minimal weight, presented in sleek black, is ideal for reducing wear on vinyl records. Its distinctive S-shape not only matches the aesthetic of the SL-1200 MK7 but also protects the arm during record changes.
The turntable features a two-layer platter composed of deadening rubber and aluminium, ensuring a resonance-free base for optimal record play. This design guarantees the best possible sound from your records. The platter’s appearance and functionality make it an excellent centerpiece for the record player. Its role is crucial in combating common issues associated with playing vinyl records, with the MK7’s platter finely tuned for strong vibration resistance and consistent playback speed.
A digital pitch control system replaces traditional electrical analogue signals, allowing for more accurate mixing. This advancement significantly reduces problems like wow and flutter, enhancing the overall sound quality.
In line with its predecessor, the SL-1200 MK6, the MK7 focuses on functionality. Technics have streamlined the design, avoiding unnecessary features while improving existing ones, including the addition of Reverse Play. The motor has been upgraded to a coreless direct driver, ensuring consistent rotation and playback. All motor components have been enhanced, boosting performance over previous models. The motor’s torque speed also supports stop/start scratching styles and seamless mixing.
