A vinyl turntable with a direct drive disc. Proprietary rotorless motor, 3 speeds of rotation of the disc, electronic switching. Double-layer chassis made of aluminum and ABS. Aluminum support disc with a damping rubber layer.

The features of the SL-1200M7B are based on the SL-1200MK7/SL1210M7 models, and the design is inspired by the iconic Y-shape of the Automobili Lamborghini. Orange, green and yellow are the colors of the SL-1200M7B, based on the most iconic colors of the Italian supersport car brand. Automobili Lamborghini and Technics operate in completely different markets, but share the same values based on cutting-edge ideas and approaches: breakthrough technological development, a corporate culture based on the spirit of uncompromising craftsmanship, and a desire for emotional sounds.

Technics SL-1200MK7 is a direct–drive vinyl record player. Direct-drive turntables use a slow-rotation motor that drives a support disc. Such a system has many advantages: for example, high rotational accuracy and torque, which ensures the durability and reliability of the components.

The updated turntable still uses a brushless motor, the accuracy of which is now provided by the proprietary digital amplifier JENO Engine (Jitter Elimination and Noise-shaping Optimization), powered by delta sigma modulation. The manufacturer promises a significant increase in the accuracy of disk rotation at all speeds.

In the GR2 model, the motor control signal is generated using a PWM signal generated by ΔΣ (delta sigma) modulation, a high-precision 1-bit digital-to-analog conversion method that is part of signal processing in Technics fully digital amplifiers using the patented JENO Engine technology.

The player received a reference disc with notches that allow using a strobe light to adjust each of the three supported rotation speeds (33.3, 45 and 78 rpm) as precisely as possible, which are selected by a pair of buttons located on the upper panel of the case.

The motor is equipped with a double rotor, which significantly reduces the load on the bearings, reduces vibrations and provides high torque. The electric motor is controlled using a high-precision system that was developed for Blu-ray players, which promotes rapid disc rotation and increases the stability of its rotation. Speeds of 33.3, 45 or 78 rpm are supported, which can be selected using the buttons.

The Technics SP-10RE-S reference-grade vinyl turntable system features a direct drive motor without a core and a heavy plate for stable rotation. It is equipped with a separate control unit to suppress the impact of unwanted noise on the main unit. These meticulous noise reduction measures ensure the highest S/N levels in the world.

The player has an updated motor that rotates the support disc according to the direct drive principle. The engine has a dual electromagnetic system, due to which it was possible to radically increase the smoothness of the ride and almost completely eliminate any vibrations.
