Technics SL 1200 mk2 Turntable Features

The Technics SL 1200 turntable has defined DJing like no other. From its early inception, it has always been work horse of the day, it has been designed with performance in mind and has proved its durability and legendary status. The classic and iconic beautiful look design, is predominantly made out of a cast metal and dampened with solid rubber inserts and is built to last with very little maintenance due to minimal moving contact parts and control circuitry. Nothing really compares to the Technics SL 1200 turntable, it has a high torque direct drive motor (magnetically driven) and responsive pitch control for perfect reproduction of unaltered sound.

Technics SL1200 mk 2 Setup

When it comes to plugging in the Technics SL 1200 turntable, essentially you just need to connect the RCA leads into a good pre:amp to get the signal from analogue phono level, to line level signal. A 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.
