Technics bringt neuen DJ-Turntable: SL-1210MK7 / SL-1200MK7

Ich habe einen meiner alten MKs zu Weihnachten innerfamiliär verschenkt. Er bedeutete mir sehr viel und ich denke, dass diese Bedeutung mit dem Geschenk angenommen wurde. Es ist etwas ganz Großes.

Heute dann haut Technics nach all dem High-End-Hifi-Chi-Chi der letzten Jahre endlich mal einen neuen DJ-Plattenspieler raus. In Europa geht dieser als SL-1210MK7 auf den Markt, woanders als SL-1200MK7.

Der Pitch kann jetzt +/- 16 anstatt der bisher gewohnten bis +/- 8 und hat einen Reset-Knopf zum Nullen. Das matte Schwarz ist bisschen sexy. Einen Preis gibt es bisher leider noch keinen – und genau der aber wäre in dem Kontext jetzt gar nicht mal so unwichtig.

Speaking at the event, Technics say they have “re-engaged the DJ community” with the MK7, introducing a new, lighter coreless direct drive motor. The MK7 will also have the ability to play in reverse (as long as your cartridge and needle are also compatible), and incorporates a new motor control which will further benefit DJs who like to scratch.

The finish is matte black, and features an all-black tonearm. The chassis is made from a mixture of aluminium and glass fibre, with a view to minimising distortion caused by vibrations in loud environments.
