Technics SL-1500CEG-S Premium Class turntable

The technologies developed through the SL-1200 series and the high-end SL-1000R model are richly integrated into the turntable's driving unit, an essential part of the player. The motor coordinates the wireless instant motor with few rotors, taken from the SL-1200GR, to achieve high rotational accuracy and read the precise signals of the recording. Optimal motor control is implemented for the stability of the two layer plates, on which the vinyl record is placed with damping rubber across the entire surface of the back, eliminating unwanted resonance in the aluminum die-cast plate and thus preventing irregular rotations, also known as cogging. The aluminum die-cast chassis is firmly integrated into a special material consistency of ABS mixed with fiberglass optics to create a dual-layer construction. The isolator consists of a spring and rubber to ensure optimal, characteristic vibration damping. The tonearm features a universal S-shape with static balance, a tradition of the technology. By adopting high precision using the same gimbal suspension design as the SL-1200 series, high initial sensitivity is achieved. Furthermore, reliability has been enhanced through the integration of a detachable power cable and gold-plated connections, which cause less sound quality loss for phono and line connections.
