Now featuring their latest digital technology, the Technics SL-1210GR2 is smoother and more detailed sounding than ever.

A legend made better
The Technics SL-1210 GR2 model takes a legendary turntable and gives it a thorough makeover, making this classic deck even more impressive. With new digital signal processing, distortion is reduced, while technology from the flagship SL-1000R cancels noise for a quieter backdrop, letting you hear more detail from your vinyl than before.

Still setting the standard
Developed as a turntable that was sturdy enough to be used professionally but simple and attractive enough to use at home, the Technics SL-1210 was a hit from the beginning. Starting life in the early '70s, the SL1210 lived through many versions and is still seen by many as the reference deck for club use. Just like its predecessors, the SL-1210GR2 is designed to appeal equally to DJs and audiophiles. With a wide breath of abilities, this turntable truly does it all.

Coreless direct drive with digital control for the smoothest rotation
The SL-1210GR2 uses a top quality, coreless motor for minimal vibration. The single-rotor, coreless direct-drive motor eliminates 'cogging' which can lead to a ‘jittery’ sound on lesser direct drive turntables. New to the M2 version, JENO-Engine digital processing technology ensures an even smoother rotation, for the least possible distortion.

Enhanced power supply
Using an all-new power supply and noise-cancelling circuit from the SL-1000R model, the SL-1210GR2 is electrically quieter than before. This means you hear less background noise and more of the finer musical details that could otherwise be lost.

Heavyweight construction
Everything about the SL-1210GR2’s construction is designed to reduce vibration and improve sound quality. The die-cast aluminium platter features rear bracing and is one of the weightiest in its class. The high mass and rigidity improves speed stability and reduces distortion for a cleaner, purer sound.

Fully adjustable tonearm
With high precision bearings and Technics's gimbal suspension system, the S-shaped tonearm is a classic Technics design. 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.

Wide-ranging pitch control
With its 'x2' button, you can 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, too.

Enjoy legendary sound and usability in your home or studio, with the Technics SL-1210GR2.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sonically Superb and Physically Robyst. I’ve used the turntable daily since it was delivered and I am very happy with it. I considered a few options but, as I can be a little heavy-handed, its robustness attracted me. A second of carelessness could be costly. It also has a hinged dust cover which is also important to me. I’m hearing some noises (in a nice way) that I hadn’t realised were there. I’ve given a couple of albums a clean and the sound has improved. A cleaner will be my next buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Built like a tank / sings like an Angel Bought this to put with my SL1210 MK 2 .This one has a few advantages over the previous version.Built like a tank but just 11k . The deck is easy to assemble and the removable head shell makes fitting the cartridge fairly easy. I was a little sceptical at first having enjoyed my MK2 for many years. However I bit the bullet and bought this new version. Having set it all up ,tracking via etc I was ready to see if I had made a good decision. Putting the first disc on the platter and queing up the Ortophon cartridge away we went. The difference was immediate,sounds I had not heard on a well known disc appeared. The soundstage opened up . Over the month things got better as the cartridge got worn in .I would recommend if you can afford to as you will not regret it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love Direct Drive I went from a Michel Gyro with a techno arm to the new Technics GR2. That may seem like a downgrade but it doesn't feel like that to me. I listen to a lot of classic rock, blues and country and to my ears the direct drive of the Technics really locks into the rhythm and groove of JJ Cale or the Exile on Main Street era Rolling Stones in a way that the belt drive Michel lacked. The Technics is a breeze to set up. The tonearm which some say is the weak link works fine. Setting the tracking force is easy using the calibrated dial (I checked with a digital gauge and it is precise) and the tonearm height adjustment is simple. The anti skate seems to work very effectively and an Audio Technica VM740SH cartridge I'm using tracks beautifully with no inner groove distortion. All I can say is that I'm very happy with this turntable.
