@ FEATURES
High performance electronic circuit and full-cycle
detection FG for quartz phase-locked control of
integral structure superior in rotational character-
istics 5
Based onan electronic circuit composed of 3 kinds of
highly integrated ICs developed for the SL-1300MK2 series
and the full-cycle (360°) detection FG, the quartz phase
locked control system with a crystal oscillator as its
standard oscillator has-been adopted. For utilization of
high accuracy crystal oscillation, the detection range is
effected through 360° by means of the full-cycle detection
FG of the motor stator for detection of revolutions, with a
consequent extremely stable rotational accuracy.
Due to the employment of the integral structure, high
torque DD motor, the starting time is_ practically
instantaneous at 0.7 second (1/4) revolution. Moreover,
through the quartz phase locked control system employed,
speed deviation is 0 up to a stylus pressure of 180g, while a
pitch control of £6% is possible.
Double-TNRC vibration-damping construction
The newly developed acoustic material” TNRC, which is
high in vibration damping and superior in attenuation
characteristics has been employed in the cabinet, while the
base has another thick and heavy TNRC base which has
been adopted for the SL-1300MK2 series.
Double TNRC construction is designed based on Technics
non-resonance concept.

Low-mass, gimbal-suspension tonearm with an
arm friction of 7 mg and a muting circuit
‘incorporated
The gimbal-suspension tonearm unique to Technics has
descended from the tonearms for the SL-1300MK2 series
and is extremely sensitive with an arm friction of 7 mg
(horizontal and vertical) and is of a low mass design having
an effective mass of only 12 g. For using a high compliance
cartridge, the low range resonance frequency is set in the
vicinity of 10 Hz. Furthermore, since a muting mechanism
is adopted for eliminating noises during the descent or
ascent stylus tip to and from the record.
Ail Front-Panel Controls
The advancement to complete front-panel contro! marks a
big step forward in turntable operation, not only because of
the greater convenience, but also because of the greater
protection from dust, as the dust cover can stay closed.
Tonearm Cueing Controlled from Front Panel
The tonearm is raised and lowered softly by a viscous-
damped cueing lifter. Even with the dust cover closed, a
cueing can be easily performed as the control is located on
the front panel.
