The Technics SL 1210 Mk5G turntable has redefined DJing like no other. From its early inception and younger brothers the SL1200 / SL1210 Mk2 / Mk5 they have always been the goto Turntable for spinning & scratching the wax with all the favourite beats & tunes. Been the staple in everyones tool kit, most definitely the hardest working of all products over time, it has been designed with performance in mind and has improved its durability and legendary status. The upgraded digital circuitry, Blue LED platter / strobe / power lights, wider and multi selectable pitch ranges and now with a classy, iconic now slick metallic piano gloss black finish has just topped off this flagship models design perfectly. It has still keep its heritage shape and styling with the same castings and dampened solid rubber inserts and is built to last with very little maintenance due to minimal moving contact parts and precise control circuitry.

Technics SL1210 mk5 G Setup
When it comes to getting sound from your Technics 1210 mk 5 G turntable, you just need to attached the analogue signal from the RCA leads into a good quality pre:amp converting to line level signal. Although some purists prefer an external tube pre:amp for the genuine warmth, a nice anolgue DJ mixer is the most common way to do this, as most of them generally have these phono pre:amps on some of their inputs. This then goes to the output stage of the DJ Mixer, and outputs your audio to your power amplifier and sound system. Some DJs will bring their own components and favourite accessories to the gig, however on a base level it is ideal to make sure that there is a slip mat on the platter and a headshell mounted on the tone arm ready to go. It is also important to make sure that the stylus/needle is aligned correctly on the head shell for the style of playing and that there is no sign of damage. If you need to remove the head shell from the turntable, please keep in a safe place where the stylus can not be damaged. For best sound, it is recommended that you use a solid and dense sturdy table. Some setups require slabs of concrete to be placed on the table to add further weight to the table surface, however we have moved on in the world now, and for extra bouncy performances and extra vibration isolation we have the Luke ASB-1 Absorbers available for hire. From here the Djs will have their own personal settings for the tonearm height, tonearm weight, and anti-skating. Please make sure that you return all accessories with the hire back to us, as fees will incur if any items are missing or damaged further than standard wear and tear by malice or misuse.
