In addition to reducing high harmonics, the new drive suppresses vibrations from the motor for smoother, more accurate rotation, ensuring a rich reproduction of the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eThe First Stage of The New Generation of Technics’ Direct Drive Turntables\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003eSince inventing the world’s first direct-drive turntable, Technics has continued to work to improve sound quality. It has now developed the ΔΣ-Drive, which suppresses minute vibrations from the motor and improves the electromagnetic conversion accuracy of the cartridge. The first stage of direct drive turntable systems featuring this technology is the SL-1200GR2BS.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eCoreless Direct Drive Motor Achieving Stable Rotation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003eIn 1970, Technics commercialised the world‘s first direct-drive turntable, and the system took the world by storm. Unlike belt drive and other systems, direct drive systems rotate the motor at low speed and directly drive the platter, thus providing numerous advantages, such as the almost complete absence of degradation in S\/N ratio due to motor vibration and deceleration mechanisms, as well as high reliability over a long period of time because of not requiring parts replacement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd in 2016, Technics developed the twin-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct drive motor with rotor magnets placed on both sides, thereby eliminating the rotation irregularity of the motor, referred to as \"cogging,\" which was a unique issue for direct drive systems. This motor was adopted for the SL-1200G, which once again drew a significant response in the hi-fi market. The SL-1200GR2BS inherits the same design philosophy with the new development of a single-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct-drive motor, resulting in the elimination of cogging.\u003cspan style=\"color: #00aaff; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #00aaff; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMulti-Stage Silent Power Supply\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003eLow-Noise Switching Circuit\u003cbr\u003eUse of a high-speed switching power supply ensures a stable supply capacity and less ripple and humming. Applying a switching power supply to a turntable eliminates the need for a large transformer and countermeasures for the ensuing mechanical vibrations.\u003cbr\u003eA switching frequency of above 100 kHz limits the impact of noise on the music playback bandwidth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eCurrent Injection Active Noise Cancelling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003eThis technology combines a noise detection device with an error amplifier. It detects residual noise in the power supply and applies an inverse phase current to remove noise components. It removes low-frequency noise more effectively than a regulator to ensure a more ideal power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003ePursuing Rigidity and Vibration Damping Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003eThe platter achieves high rigidity and vibration damping characteristics by using a two-layer construction with deadening rubber applied to the entire rear surface of the aluminium die-cast to eliminate the unnecessary resonance that is otherwise relayed to the record, thereby producing clear sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo increase the inertial mass and reduce vibration, the shape of the aluminium die-cast portion was optimised by simulation. At 2.5 kg (including the rubber mat), the SL-1200GR2BS platter is 0.8 kg heavier than that of the previous SL-1200MK5. Also, the back surface of the platter has strengthening ribs added to improve rigidity. Increasing the surface area of contact with the deadening rubber achieves damping characteristics that are more than twice those of the SL-1200MK5.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eTonearm: Achieving High Initial-Motion Sensitivity\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003eThe tonearm tracks the rotation of the record and enables reading with high precision, and the tonearm inherited by Technics is the traditionally used static-balance universal S-shaped tonearm, employing an aluminium pipe with excellent lightness and rigidity for the material of the tonearm pipe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its gimbal suspension construction, the tonearm bearing section uses a cut-processed housing that employs high-precision bearings, as in the SL-1200G and SL-1200GR. The high initial-motion sensitivity of 5 mg or less is achieved through manual assembly and adjustment by skilled Japanese artisans. This enables the grooves etched into the records to be accurately traced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, one type of auxiliary weight comes included, and the cartridge can be swapped with a variety of other cartridges to match the music genre or feeling.
