With its design inspired by Italian supercar legends, Lamborghini, the Technic SL1200MK7 Lamborghini Edition delivers a new spin on this turntable classic.
Unique, Lamborghini Edition With performance and thrilling sound central to these two brands, the Technics SL1200MK7 Lamborghini Edition marks a natural meeting of minds. Based on Lamborghini’s iconic Y-shaped logo, this unique turntable has a striking new finish. Available in orange, green and yellow colourways, there’s a vivid hue to best suit you. There’s also an Automobili Lamborghini slipmat and unique branding. Other limited edition accessories include a vinyl record with Lamborghini V12 soundtracks, and a sticker set.
Seventh generation legend From the disco era to today’s super-clubs, the Technics SL1200 (and similar SL1210) has been and still is the heart of most professional DJs’ gigs. World renowned for its robust build quality, reliability and precise and stable sound, the SL1200 is a living legend. Now in MK7 form, it’s as capable as ever and great value for the engineering involved.
High torque, direct drive Using Technics’ famous and expensively engineered direct drive system, the SL1200 MK7 delivers class-leading torque for super-stable pitch and rapid start/stop action. When you need to precisely control your mixing, this is still the standard setter.
Improved, coreless motor Based on technology from the reference G and GR models, the MK7 uses an all new motor design with coreless tech. This results in the elimination of ‘cogging’ which can afflict other direct drive decks. Cogging is an instability in the running speed, which gives inconsistent pitch. With the SL1200MK7, you get the same rock-solid pitch stability that’s always been a hallmark of these Technics decks.
Vibration resistant SL1200 turntables have always been robustly built, and the MK7 is no different. Although it’s not quite as solid as the more expensive GR model, it still beats its similarly priced rivals. The rigid, die-cast aluminium chassis features hybrid, anti-resonance cladding and isolation feet. These not only help keep the deck solidly in place but also absorb vibrations, preventing stylus skip and sound distortion.
Fine tune adjustments Lift the platter and there’s a range of user adjustments. From a bank of micro switches you can select 78rpm, reverse play and even adjust start-up torque and brake speed – getting this deck to perform exactly how you want it to.
Increased pitch control The 'x2' button lets you double the range of the pitch control from +/- 8% to +/-16%. This extra range makes it even more flexible as a mixing tool and even handier in the studio than ever.
Classic tonearm The MK7’s tonearm is a classic S-shape design that tracks precisely and is easy to handle. It also offers a wide range of adjustments, including VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle), weight and bias, making it ideal for a huge range of different cartridges and even different thicknesses of slipmat. The detachable headshell makes swapping cartridges a quick and simple process.
Connect your own cables Rather than using static cables like SL-1200s of the past, the SL-1200 MK7 features RCA phono terminals. These let you choose your own length and quality of cable that's worthy of a deck of this standard.
Silver style and new strobe lighting Finished in the classic SL1200 silver over black style, the MK7 looks as good as ever. The strobe colour is adjustable between red and blue. There’s also a pop-up stylus light with bright LED for accurate queuing in dark lighting.
Take your record collection for a thrilling spin, with the Technics SL1200MK7 Lamborghini Edition.
