Technics SL-1300G – Grand Class Direct Drive Turntable

The Technics SL-1300G redefines the Grand Class series, bringing cutting-edge technology to discerning music lovers. Equipped with a brushless DC direct-drive motor, it delivers exceptionally stable rotation with minimal wow and flutter (wow and flutter: only 0.025% WRMS) and excellent rumble suppression (78 dB IEC A-weighted). The turntable features a sophisticated three-layer construction of die-cast aluminum, brass, and rubber, effectively dampening vibrations and thus ensuring pristine, clean sound reproduction.

The innovative Delta-Sigma motor control ensures maximum smoothness and precision – technologies already incorporated in the acclaimed SL-1200GR2. With a starting torque of 3.3 kg*cm, the SL-1300G reaches its rated speed (33 1/3, 45, or 78 rpm) in just 0.7 seconds.

The tonearm also impresses with technical perfection: statically balanced, height adjustable (0–6 mm), with an overhang of 15 mm and extremely low tracking angle error, it guarantees optimal tracking accuracy and the finest detail resolution.
