Coreless direct drive motor and
newly developed motor drive
circuit to achieve high precision,
stable rotation and high reliability

The adoption of coreless direct drive motor
and highly precise motor control technology
reduces minute vibration and achieves high
reliability during rotation while maintaining
high torque.

The newly developed
ΔΣ
(delta sigma) -Drive
motor drive circuit technology suppresses
minute vibration caused by the motor and
further reduces the transmission of vibration
to the stylus tip on the record.
Newly designed low-noise power
supply to suppress external noise

We have adopted the newly designed low-
noise switching power supply which utilises
the know-how for Technics Grand Class
amplifiers/digital players and the noise
removal circuit of the top-tier SL-1000R
model.
The tone arm with high-precision
bearings achieves high initial-
motion sensitivity

The tone arm pipe made of light, highly rigid
aluminium as well as the traditional Technics
gimbal suspension construction and high-
precision bearings attain high initial-motion
sensitivity.
A turntable with high rigidity
and improved vibration damping
capacity

The reinforcing ribs on the back side of the
aluminium die-cast platter and the rubber
installed to suppress unnecessary resonance
deliver high rigidity and improved vibration
damping capacity.
Vibration-proof cabinet and
insulators

The two-layered cabinet made of a
combination of BMC and aluminium die-cast
ensures high rigidity, and the special silicon
rubber insulators providing excellent vibration
damping capacity and long-term reliability
reduce external vibration and suppress
howling noise.
