State-of-the-art drive technology for superior rotational precision
The Technics SL-1300GE sets new standards in HiFi turntables with the innovative ΔΣ-Drive technology, offering exceptionally precise rotation and minimal vibration. Thanks to this groundbreaking drive technology and the newly developed motor, the SL-1300GE delivers a sound quality that excites both music enthusiasts and audiophiles alike.
Coreless direct drive motor for stable rotation
Equipped with a coreless direct drive motor, the SL-1300GE completely eliminates cogging—a common issue in conventional turntables causing irregularities. The dual-rotor design minimizes bearing load while simultaneously reducing vibrations, resulting in smooth and uninterrupted rotation. Utilizing the robust stator board reinforcement found in reference-class models like the SL-1000R/SP-10R, this turntable achieves remarkable rigidity.
Precision through ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive)
The drive system of the SL-1300GE is designed for absolute audio precision. The ΔΣ-Drive reduces harmonics and minimizes motor vibrations using Technics' PWM signal processing, leading to particularly smooth and accurate rotation. The result is a rich and detailed sound reproduction that brings out the full potential of any music piece.
Three-layer platter for optimal vibration damping
The platter of the SL-1300GE features a three-layer construction: a combination of die-cast aluminum with a firmly attached brass top plate, paired with a damping rubber layer. This ensures maximum rotational stability and vibration damping. This thoughtful construction offers higher inertial mass than even renowned models like the SP-10MK2, providing particularly even and resonance-free sound reproduction.
Robust, vibration-resistant chassis construction
The two-layer chassis construction made of BMC and die-cast aluminum provides exceptional stability for the SL-1300GE. Additional reinforcing ribs between the motor and tonearm ensure optimal rigidity and vibration damping. This solid design prevents unwanted vibrations, creating an excellent foundation for unadulterated and precise vinyl playback.
Highly precise fine balancing for smooth rotation
After assembly, the platter's balance is tested and adjusted in a highly precise balancing machine at the factory. This prevents any vibration transfer to the audio signal, ensuring smooth rotation. Every turntable undergoing this process receives a "BALANCED" sticker, emphasizing the outstanding quality and precision of the SL-1300GE.
Low-noise, multi-stage power supply
To further optimize sound quality, the SL-1300GE is equipped with a multi-stage switching power supply with exceptionally low noise levels. Its high switching frequency of over 100 kHz minimizes mechanical vibrations and ensures an extremely stable current flow. The active noise cancellation system combines a noise detector with an error amplifier, effectively eliminating low-frequency noise for even finer sound reproduction.
Highly precise tonearm for excellent sound capture
The lightweight yet stiff tonearm of the SL-1300GE is a masterpiece of precision, made from an aluminum tube in a traditional S-shape. Its gimbal suspension and high-precision bearings achieve an exceptionally low starting torque, precisely extracting the finest sound characteristics from vinyl grooves. The SL-1300GE also comes with an additional weight, allowing for flexible adjustments to accommodate a wide range of cartridges.
Vibration-damping silicone feet for uncompromising sound quality
The SL-1300GE rests on specialized silicone rubber feet, offering high vibration damping and excellent stability, minimizing vibrations from the turntable itself. This ensures that no disruptive vibrations affect sound quality.
Connectivity for personalized adjustments
With high-quality, gold-plated phono connectors, the SL-1300GE offers excellent connectivity and allows the use of detachable cables tailored to individual preferences. Additionally, the metal shielding inside the chassis minimizes interference, ensuring interference-free and high-quality signal transmission.
Sustainable packaging for an eco-friendly future
The SL-1300GE is delivered in environmentally friendly packaging materials, eliminating the use of Styrofoam. Instead, Technics uses corrugated cardboard, reducing plastic consumption by approximately 70% compared to conventional packaging. Accessories and manuals are also compactly packed to promote environmentally conscious handling.
A masterpiece of sound quality and precision
The Technics SL-1300GE is a true milestone for those seeking the unmatched sound quality and precision of a high-end turntable. With its array of innovative technologies and high-quality, vibration-resistant construction, it is perfect for lovers of analog sound and sophisticated aesthetics.
