Technics SL-1500C white

May 2023 | NEWS, VINYL TURNTABLE

Technics announces a new-finish version of the successful and highly acclaimed SL-1500C direct drive turntable system. In addition to standard silver and black, this fully featured turntable system will now be available in luxurious matte white.

“From our experience with Limited Edition models, we have seen  a high demand for additional colour versions of our designs, especially for turntables. Many clients look for stylish colour alternatives, reflecting the minimalistic design language of modern contemporary interiors”, says Frank Balzuweit, Senior Product Manager at Technics Europe.

Balzuweit adds “The new clean white tone underlines the SL-1500C’s pure and simplistic aesthetic, employing only   needed on a turntable”.

Despite its minimalistic construction, the SL-1500C offers outstanding functionality, usability, and a wealth of features for vinyl lovers.

For an easy setup, a high-quality Ortofon 2M Red MM pickup cartridge comes pre-mounted to the head shell, which only needs to be fixed to the tonearm via the simple bayonet lock. Meanwhile, an automatic tonearm lift prevents unnecessary wear of the stylus and vinyl at the end of playing a record, ensuring your precious LPs remain in pristine condition.

For maximum connection flexibility, the SL-1500C is equipped with a conventional phono output with an integrated phono EQ, so it can be connected to other audio components without the need for a dedicated separate phono amplifier.

The basic technical genes of the SL-1500C-W represent the excellent reputation of Technics as manufacturer of premium audio turntables. The iron-coreless direct drive motor, in combination with the sophisticated motor control ensures ultimate rotation stability for a classic, smooth vinyl sound.

The two-layer platter with a solid two-layer chassis based on aluminium diecast and the high-sensitivity S-shaped aluminium tonearm ensure high vibration damping and an accurate tracking process for the ultimate in analogue music enjoyment.
