Technics SL-1200GR2 Turntable + SC-CX700 Wireless Speaker System
The Technics SL-1200GR2 turntable and the SC-CX700 wireless Hi-Fi speaker offers precision engineering to produce high quality music. The SL-1200GR2 utilises coreless direct drive motor and advanced ΔΣ-Drive technology, ensuring smooth, vibration-free playback for a superior listening experience. Its static-balance tonearm and high-damping design further contribute to its flawless sound reproduction. The SC-CX700's versatility supports wireless streaming from multiple platforms and offers a dedicated phono stage for vinyl playback making it an ideal pairing for Technics SL-1200GR.
The Revolution of Audio
In 1970, Technics transformed the audio landscape with the launch of the first direct drive turntable. This innovation surpassed belt-driven systems by providing an enhanced Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio and remarkable reliability. By 2016, Technics introduced a twin-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct drive motor, which was praised for eliminating cogging in the hi-fi market.
Continuing this legacy, the 2023 Technics SL1200GR2 features a single-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct drive motor, ensuring exceptionally smooth and precise rotation, resulting in a superior musical experience.
Advancing Sound Quality
Since introducing the first direct drive turntable, Technics has been dedicated to improving sound quality. The SL-1200 GR2 marks a significant advancement in vinyl listening, integrating a revolutionary ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive) system within its motor drive circuit. This breakthrough in direct drive technology is specifically engineered to eliminate even the slightest motor-generated vibrations, providing listeners with a rich and immersive sound.
Innovative ΔΣ-Drive Technology
The ΔΣ-Drive signifies a substantial evolution in audio engineering, capitalising on Technics' expertise in PWM signal processing. This innovative system not only reduces high harmonics but also effectively diminishes motor-induced vibrations, guaranteeing flawless and precise rotation for an exceptional auditory experience.
Coupled with a high-speed switching power supply, which minimises ripple and humming, the SL-1200GR2 maintains audio purity while eliminating the bulk of traditional transformers.
Precision Engineering and Design
The SL-1200GR2 features a two-layer platter construction that enhances rigidity and vibration damping. By applying deadening rubber to the rear surface of the aluminium die-cast platter, it effectively reduces unwanted resonance, leading to clearer sound reproduction. Weighing 2.5 kg, the platter is 0.8 kg heavier than that of the previous SL-1200MK5, and has been optimised to increase inertial mass and minimise vibrations. The tonearm, a static-balance universal S-shaped design, ensures high precision tracking of records. Crafted from lightweight aluminium with gimbal suspension, it offers high initial-motion sensitivity, allowing for accurate groove tracing. Additionally, the SL-1200GR2 features a two-layered cabinet construction for enhanced rigidity and high-damping silicon insulators for long-lasting performance.
Technics' First Wireless Hi-Fi Speaker
The Technics SC-CX700 marks the brand's inaugural bookshelf wireless Hi-Fi speaker system, delivering versatile audio support for streaming services, vinyl records, and television. Its elegant design, featuring a microfiber casing with a suede-like texture, makes it an attractive addition to any home. Merging style with performance, the SC-CX700 is perfect for those who appreciate both high-quality sound and aesthetic appeal.
Stream Your Way
With the Technics SC-CX700, users can wirelessly stream music from a wide range of platforms, including Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Tidal, and Qobuz, as well as internet radio. Additionally, vinyl enthusiasts can enjoy an authentic analogue playback experience through a dedicated PHONO input designed for MM cartridges, ensuring a seamless transition from digital to vinyl.
Enhanced Home Entertainment
The SC-CX700 is designed to elevate your home entertainment experience by easily connecting to televisions, delivering expansive sound that enhances audio-visual enjoyment. This capability ensures that users can enjoy a more immersive experience while watching their favourite shows or movies.
User-Friendly Control and Advanced Sound Technology
Controlling the SC-CX700 is straightforward, thanks to the Technics Audio Center app, which provides intuitive functions like SOURCE, FAVOURITE, ROOM, and SETTINGS. The speaker also features Technics’ Space Tune™ technology, which optimises sound output to suit the environment. With three modes available—preset selections, automatic adjustments via a built-in microphone, and manual fine-tuning through the app—the SC-CX700 ensures optimal audio quality. Additionally, the speaker's structure minimises vibrations, while advanced technologies like the JENO Engine and Model Based Diaphragm Control (MBDC) reduce distortion, resulting in crystal-clear stereo sound.
