Created by Technics in pursuit of true analog record sound, rather than nostalgia, the SL-1200GAE 50th Anniversary Limited Edition direct drive turntable includes the latest technologies  to solve issues involved with direct-drive systems, such as cogging. The SL-1200GAE includes a newly developed coreless direct-drive motor with greatly increased precision by incorporating Blu-ray Disc technology for rotation control. This cutting-edge direct-drive system will surpass previous direct-drive systems. It is not a reproduction but innovation. We are redefining the reference in direct-drive turntables for the modern age.

• Specially numbered, limited edition model
