Professional-Grade Engineering

At the heart of the SL-1200G is a meticulously crafted three-layered turntable platter combining brass and aluminium die-cast construction with deadening rubber backing. Weighing approximately 3.6kg, this platter delivers more than twice the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5 and surpasses the legendary SP-10MK2 broadcast standard. Every unit undergoes high-precision balance adjustment at the factory using specialized equipment, with each balanced turntable receiving certification.

Key Features:

  • Coreless Direct Drive Motor with twin-rotor construction eliminates cogging and minute vibration
  • High-Precision Motor Control delivers 0.7s build-up time and impressive 0.025% wow and flutter (WRMS)
  • High-Sensitivity Tonearm crafted from lightweight magnesium with gimbal suspension and precision bearings
  • Four-Layered Cabinet Construction featuring 10mm aluminium top panel, die-cast aluminium, BMC, and heavyweight rubber
  • Gold-Plated Brass Terminals with metal shielding for pristine signal integrity
  • Universal Static Balance Tonearm with 230mm effective length and adjustable arm height (0-6mm)
  • 78dB Rumble Specification (IEC 98A weighted) for exceptional noise floor performance

Installation Versatility

The SL-1200G accommodates cartridges ranging from 5.6g to 19.8g (with optional auxiliary weights up to 28.5g including headshell), offering flexibility for various high-fidelity and DJ cartridge applications. The stylus pressure adjustment range of 0-4g with direct reading ensures precise setup. Universal AC 110-240V power supply and comprehensive accessories including phono cables, earth lead, dust cover, and alignment tools make professional installation straightforward for any AV dealer or custom installer.
