Description
The Technics SL-1200MK7 Direct-Drive Turntable is the latest generation of the legendary SL-1200 series, purpose-built for professional DJ performance. Featuring a coreless direct-drive motor that eliminates cogging for ultra-smooth rotation and rock-solid speed stability, the MK7 is the industry standard for club, festival, and touring DJs.
The heavy-duty construction includes a die-cast aluminum chassis and a thick, non-resonant platter for vibration-free playback in high-SPL environments. Reverse play makes its first appearance in the SL-1200 series. Gold-plated phono terminals and a redesigned push-type LED stylus illuminator round out the professional feature set.
