Technics SL-1200 MKII

The Technics SL1200MK2 has been an icon for years in the professional DJ world. It is the gold-standard for vinyl DJs. Even though there are currently tons of digital alternatives for vinyl, many DJs still choose to spin vinyl on a turntable. The sound and the familiar feeling of this turntable have become an integral part of the DJ identity.

Technics Turntable 

The Technics SL1200MK2 is in contrast to cheaper models and makes a direct drive turntable. Turntables which are not direct drive powered actually slow down each time they are used, making mixing vinyl difficult, if not impossible. Due to the latency in the belt, the speed of that type of turntable is not stable. The effect between your actions (like stopping the record by hand) and the actual sound is delayed. The solution? A direct drive turntable. In this case the platter is powered by cogs. Any adjustment made in operating the turntable are directly noticeable. This type of drive train is essential for a DJ. Making the Technics SL1200MK2 the perfect turntable for DJ events. These turntables come with a professional element by Concorde Pro.

Surface 

For optimal use of the Technics turntables a stable vibration-free surface is needed. These turntables do NOT come with freefloats. We recommend to prepare a DJ booth with foam and a heavy base.

Earth

In order to prevent the typical static hum of vinyl, always ground the Technics to the mixer.

Shocks

We always recommend placing the turntable on a soft surface. This prevents the needle from skipping over the record.
