Product details

The included universal headshell of the SL-100C is equipped with a perfectly adjusted Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge system, making it ready for use in no time. The tonearm height can be adjusted within a range of six millimeters to accommodate a variety of cartridges.

Once the tonearm reaches the inner end of the record, the auto-lift raises the tonearm. This prevents unnecessary wear on both your valuable records and the cartridge, enhancing user comfort. By embedding the auto-lifter function into the tonearm base, shocks to the tonearm are avoided. This function can be turned off if needed.

The SL-100C features a minimalist design. At the same time, it offers the full range of operating options that characterize all Technics products. The attractive, puristic exterior also enhances the high enjoyment of music visually.

Cool, black, strong: this is not only how the Technics without "DJ stuff" looks, this is also how it played. Especially in the bass, it convinced with its nimble and powerful reproduction that was free of ballast. In duo with the Audio-Technica MM, the sound was balanced and clean. More transparency and detail can be quickly achieved by changing the needles.

This can be the ideal Technics for those who want to save money. Or the ideal Technics for all those who have nothing to do with the DJ aura. The strategists have slimmed down the SL-100C to the maximum. Less is not possible. And yet you still get the good feeling of a powerful-sounding direct-drive unit...
