Technics SL-1210GR Direct Drive Turntable System
- Coreless Direct Drive Motor: Technics developed the twin-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct-drive motor with rotor magnets placed on both sides, thereby eliminating the rotation irregularity of the motor, referred to as cogging, which was a unique issue for direct-drive systems.
- High-precision Motor Control for Ideal Rotation Conditions: Sine waves stored in ROM are used for the control waveforms at constant speed for smoother and more stable rotation compared with using the simple sine wave generation with an external coil.
- Pursuing Rigidity and Vibration Damping Characteristics: Two-layer construction with deadening rubber applied to the entire rear surface of the aluminum die-cast to eliminate the unnecessary resonance that is otherwise relayed to the record. Optimized shape of the aluminum die-cast.
- Tonearm Achieving High Initial-Motion Sensitivity: High-precision tonearm tracking of the rotation of the record. Static-balance universal S-shaped tonearm. Aluminum Pipe: Lightweight and rigid material of the tonearm pipe.
- High-quality Terminals for Both Sound and Appearance: Gold-plated RCA terminals for detachable cables. Metal Shielding Construction: Reduces the effects of external noise.
Product Manuals
Q: Does the turntable come with a cartridge, or does that need to be bought separately?
A: No. The Technics SL-1210GR does not come with a cartridge. You have to purchase a cartridge of your choice. It also does not have a built in phono preamp. It’s the Technics SL-1500C, which comes with an Ortofon 2m red cartridge and a built in phono preamp.

Q: What does it mean when it says semi automatic
A: Hi, Mark! A semi-automatic turntable incorporates some automatic features while still requiring manual intervention for certain functions. -M
