Created as a 50th anniversary limited edition, the SL-1200GAE is a direct-drive, manual turntable designed for high-precision analog playback. It uses a coreless direct-drive motor with iron-free construction to minimize cogging and Blu-ray Disc technology for rotation control to ensure stable speed. The three-layer rubber-damped platter and factory-tuned balance reduce resonance, while a lightweight magnesium tonearm provides precise tracking. Speeds 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm; PHONO output with earth terminal.
