Details

Technics SL-1300G Grand Class Direct Drive Turntable: Hi-Fi turntable with ΔΣ-Delta Sigma Drive, a novel motor drive technique that produces less vibration and excellent rotational accuracy. Even better sound quality is guaranteed by the turntable's redesigned motor, three-layer platter, and highly sturdy frame.

ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive), Motor-Drive System

Discover an unparalleled level of audio accuracy with the ΔΣ-Drive, an advanced device that utilizes Technics' proficiency in PWM signal processing. Rich musical reproduction is ensured by the drive's suppression of motor vibrations in addition to its reduction of harmonics. This results in a smoother, more precise rotation.

Elevated Balance Modification

Uneven turntable weight distribution results in excessive vibration or noise during spinning, which lowers the quality of sound. Thus, after the turntable is completed, the balance of each individual component is adjusted at the factory using specialized high-precision balance adjustment equipment. A sticker that reads "BALANCED" is placed on turntables that have undergone adjustment to signify that the turntables have been adjusted.

Silent-operating Circuit

Less ripple and buzzing as well as a stable supply capacity are ensured by using a high-speed switching power supply. When a turntable is powered by a switching power supply, it becomes unnecessary to need a big transformer and take precautions against the resulting mechanical vibrations. An above-100 kHz switching frequency reduces the noise floor on the music playback bandwidth.

Turntable Platter

The turntable platter is a critical component of a vinyl record player (turntable). It serves as the rotating platform on which the vinyl record is placed and spins during playback. The platter's design and construction can significantly affect the overall performance and audio quality of the turntable.

Key features and considerations related to the turntable platter include:

Material: Platters are typically made from various materials, each with its own characteristics. Common platter materials include:
- Aluminium: Lightweight and resistant to resonance, often used in higher-end turntables.
- Acrylic: Offers excellent stability and damping properties, contributing to reduced vibration and resonance.
- Glass: Known for its inert properties and smooth surface, contributing to accurate rotation.
- MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard): A dense and cost-effective material used in some entry-level turntables.
Size and Weight: The size and weight of the platter can influence rotational stability and reduce speed variations (wow and flutter). Heavier platters are often preferred for their inertial benefits.
Speed Consistency: The platter's consistency in speed rotation (RPM) is crucial for accurate playback. Heavier platters tend to maintain speed more consistently.
Isolation and Damping: Some platters incorporate damping materials or design features to reduce vibration, resonance, and mechanical noise that can affect audio quality.
Bearing System: The platter is supported by a bearing system, which allows it to rotate smoothly. High-quality bearings contribute to reduced friction and improved performance.
Mats and Slipmats: A mat or slipmat is placed on the platter's surface to provide cushioning and improve contact between the vinyl record and the platter. Various materials and thicknesses are available to influence sound characteristics.
Upgradability: Some turntables allow users to upgrade the platter or use aftermarket accessories to enhance performance.
Integration with Drive System: The platter is connected to the turntable's drive system (belt drive or direct drive) to achieve accurate and consistent rotation.
Aesthetics: The design and appearance of the platter can contribute to the turntable's overall aesthetic appeal.

The quality of the turntable platter, along with other components such as the tonearm, cartridge, and motor contributes to the overall audio performance and listening experience. A well-designed platter helps reduce unwanted resonances, speed fluctuations, and mechanical interference, resulting in more accurate and faithful reproduction of the music recorded on vinyl records.
