TECHNICS SL-100C ENTRY-LEVEL DIRECT DRIVE TURNTABLE ANNOUNCED
Technics has announced the launch of the new Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable.
Featuring the iconic characteristics of Technics turntables, such as the iron-coreless direct drive motor and a high-precision S-shaped aluminium tonearm, it comes in at a more affordable price point than its sibling, the SL-1500C.

“The huge success of the SL-1500C, offering a fully-featured package for the dedicated hifi enthusiast, with all the core Technics turntable technologies, has shown we have hit the mark within a popular and competitive turntable class,” says European Technics product manager Frank Balzuweit. “The demand for this high-quality ‘plug’n’play’ turntable – having exceeded our own expectations – is still undiminished even to this day. However, there is still a strong appetite from the market to deliver a similarly attractive package at an even more affordable price.”

AUDIO TECHNICA CARTRIDGE
To deliver a cost-effective solution without significant compromise, the new SL-100C comes with an onboard pickup cartridge, the Audio-Technica VM95C, which is widely compatible with the typical Phono MM (moving magnet) inputs found on hifi amplifiers.

As a ‘real’ Technics turntable, the SL-100C impresses with the same iron-coreless direct-drive motor with motor control to ensure smooth rotational stability. It also has a solid two-layer chassis and the classic S-shaped aluminium tonearm. The automatic tonearm lift (which can be turned off) that is activated at the end of the vinyl’s groove prevents unnecessary needle wear-out after finishing each side of an LP.
