The most popular variant of the SL1200 family, the MK2 was produced from 1978 until 2010. The turntable was much more than a revision of the original 1200, despite the name. Designed from the ground up, the new SL1200Mk2 is the design that all further models improved upon. The SL1200 MK2 was a brand new design that featured excellent isolation, an accurate motor and fantastic sound quality. Technics at the time used the tag line “Tough enough to take a disco beat and accurate enough to keep it”.
The design was the first time a turntable could absorb the frequencies and vibrations from being played in a loud environments such as clubs and bars. As such, it went on to be the industry standard for DJ’s around the world. A cult status that this 30 year old turntable still holds to this day.
The direct drive motor was upgraded to feature a quartz lock, improving the accuracy of playback speed. The speed adjustment dial from the original model was replaced with a pitch fader, something that would go on to be a standard feature on all future decks.
