After decades of dominance, it's no wonder that when people think ''turntables,'' they think of Technics. Building on the industry standards set by the SL-1200MK2, the hot new Technics SL-1200MK5 Direct Drive Turntable offers a number of groundbreaking features along with the time-tested functions made famous by the original "wheel of steel". Significant tonearm modifications have greatly reduced skipping and with customizeable braking speeds, you can really fine tune your performance. There is also a Quartz-Lock (zero pitch) button and a selectable pitch range of +/-8%. The long-life LED stylus illuminator is also a fun new innovation.

Quartz direct-drive manual turntable with brushless DC motor provides everything pro disc spinners require and then some. Aluminum die-cast platter, 1-1/2kg/cm torque for quick starts, bass-absorbing rubber bottom, S-shaped arm, shell stand, slipmat, and 6g anti-skating weight deliver high-powered performances. +/- 8% pitch control, brake speed control, long-life white LED, and illuminated stylus.
