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.
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 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.
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 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.
