Description

Technics SL-1500C Premium Class Turntable

The SL-1500C offers outstanding functionality, usability, and a wealth of features for vinyl lovers. A pre-mounted cartridge and integrated phono stage provide supremely simple setup, while an automatic tonearm lift ensures precious LPs remain in pristine condition.

Legendary Technics Sound and Timeless Design

The SL-1500C features a simplistic, timeless design without unnecessary frills, while retaining the superb operating feel that is a Technics tradition. The attractive exterior combines high-grade materials, precise construction, and expert craftsmanship to create an eye-catching centrepiece to complete the modern music lover’s perfect listening environment.

Premium Build Quality

The SL-1500C's two-layer, die-cast aluminium chassis is integrated with a mixture of ABS and glass fibre to resist external vibrations. Isolating feet and the damped die-cast aluminium platter further reduce resonance, ensuring you hear nothing but the music contained on your records.

Legendary Direct Drive System

Technics' signature coreless direct-drive motor system delivers high torque and excellent rotational stability as well as long term reliability.

Adaptable Tonearm

The SL1500C’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 wide variety of different cartridges. The detachable headshell makes swapping cartridges a quick and simple process.

Automatic Tonearm Lift

When the tonearm reaches the end of the record, the Auto Lifter function automatically raises the cartridge. This prevents unnecessary wear on your valuable vinyl records and stylus.

High Quality Ortofon 2M Red cartridge

The SL-1500C comes with Ortofon’s highly acclaimed 2M Red cartridge pre-installed, a perfect match that offers high fidelity sound and more dynamic playback. This cartridge also offers simple future upgrade paths with a choice of uprated stylus available.

SL-1500C will maximise the sound quality of your vinyl records providing you with a true audiophile listening experience.
