Technics SL-1500C
The SL-1500C integrates technologies from the renowned SL-1200 Series and high-end SL-1000R, featuring a coreless direct drive motor for precise rotation. Its two-layer aluminium die-cast platter, dampened with rubber to eliminate resonance, ensures cogging-free performance. The rigid aluminium chassis, reinforced with glass fibre, and a vibration-damping insulator provide stability. Paired with a static-balance S-shaped tonearm with high-precision bearings, the turntable delivers exceptional signal accuracy and sound quality. Gold-plated terminals and a removable power cable further enhance reliability and audio fidelity.
Built-in Phono Equaliser and High-Quality Cartridge
Designed for convenience, the SL-1500C includes a built-in phono equaliser and an Ortofon 2M RED cartridge, eliminating the need for separate components. The shielded phono equaliser minimises external and power supply noise, with isolated power supplies for PHONO and LINE outputs to prioritise sound quality. A switch allows the LINE output to be turned off when not in use, ensuring optimal performance. This all-in-one setup makes it easy to connect the turntable to various audio systems while maximising the potential of vinyl playback.
Auto Lifter Function and Minimalist Design
The SL-1500C features an Auto Lifter function that gently raises the tonearm at the end of a record, preventing wear on both the stylus and vinyl. This simple, motor-free design avoids vibration and maintains smooth tonearm movement. Adopting a minimalist aesthetic, the turntable combines functional beauty with the signature Technics operational feel, allowing users to enjoy an effortless and high-quality listening experience.
KEF LS50 Wireless II - The All-in one
The KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers are a complete all-in-one music system, integrating amplifiers and wireless technology within the speaker cabinets. Simply plug them in, and after a quick setup using the dedicated KEF App, you're ready to enjoy your favourite digital music. These speakers support streaming of music files up to 24bit/384kHz, with MQA Decoding and DSD256 for high-resolution audio playback. The LS50 Wireless II is also Roon Ready certified, and connects seamlessly with your compatible Apple or Android device via AirPlay 2 or Google Chromecast. Bluetooth expands your connection options even further.
Streaming and Connectivity
With the KEF Connect app, you can stream from Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer, Internet Radio stations, and podcasts. Spotify Connect also allows direct streaming from the native app. There are also wired connections for your TV, turntable, CD player, and games console through HDMI, analogue, optical, and coaxial sockets. The KEF LS50 Wireless II utilises KEF's signature Uni-Q driver, which has been redesigned and enhanced with their new Metamaterial Absorption Technology—a complex maze-like structure that eliminates unwanted sound from the rear of the driver for a purer, more natural sound. Each speaker is powered by a new 280W Class D amplifier for the bass drivers and a 100W Class A/B amplifier for the tweeters.
The LS50 Wireless II is available in three matte finishes—carbon black, titanium grey, and mineral white—along with a Crimson Red Special Edition. The colour options extend to both the drive units and the rear-facing port, while the stylish and functional top-mounted control panel adds to the overall design. The KEF S2 Floor Stands are an optional but highly recommended accessory, enhancing both the performance and aesthetic appeal of these speakers in any room.
