”The SL-1300G is an easy recommendation offering a solidly made, fuss-free experience that vinyl fans will adore.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2025 award-winner.
Technics precision in a turntable designed for home Famous for its professional SL1200 ‘club’ turntables, Technics has an unrivalled reputation for direct drive turntable excellence. The Technics SL-1300G takes those decades of experience to produce an exceptionally refined turntable for home use. Featuring the latest ΔΣ-Drive motor drive technology and exceptional chassis damping, this premium quality deck delivers outstanding detail, depth and musical precision.
Enhanced coreless motor for the smoothest sound Featuring technology first used on Technics’s reference SL-1000 turntable, the SL-1300G’s coreless motor is redesigned to eliminate subtle vibrations that can affect sound quality. The twin-rotor, coreless direct-drive motor eliminates 'cogging' which can lead to an uneven sound on some direct drive turntables.
Advanced motor-drive system - ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive) For the best in audio precision, the SL-1300G benefits from Technics’ exclusive ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive) motor control system. This applies digital processing to minimise motor vibrations to near-immeasurable levels. With more accurate rotation, distortion is reduced, letting you hear the finer details from your favourite vinyl.
Vibration quelling chassis Constructed from a die-cast aluminium top plate and BMC base, the chassis is highly rigid and has excellent damping characteristics. The chassis is further insulated with special silicon rubber feet for exceptional vibration control. These characteristics reduce distortion, giving a quieter background, letting fine musical detail shine through.
Heavyweight platter, balanced for precise sound Constructed from three layers of brass, die-cast aluminium and deadening rubber, the heavy platter delivers smooth rotational stability for perfect pitch and powerful dynamics. The platter is also balanced, which further reduces any chance of vibration. The rubber damping supresses vibration, helping to deliver an even purer and more natural sound.
Multi-stage ‘silent’ power supply For the smoothest and quietest power supply, the multi-stage PSU uses a low-noise switching circuit combined with current injection noise cancelling. High-speed switching produces less ripple and hum, which is further enhanced by noise detection which actively applies an inverse phase current to remove harmful signal noise. This means you hear less background noise and more of the finer musical details that could otherwise be lost.
High precision 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, making it ideal for a huge range of different cartridges. The detachable headshell makes swapping cartridges a quick and simple process.
Enjoy the smoothest and most accurate sound from your vinyl at home, with the Technics SL-1300G.
