Cordless Direct Drive Motor:
The motor that forms the heart of the direct drive turntable is based on the coreless
direct drive motor that was developed for the SL-1200G launched in 2016, and further
improved. The double coil twin rotor-type coreless direct drive motor that was newly
developed for this purpose had coils on both sides for 12-pole, 18-coil drive, with high
enough torque to drive the heavyweight-class platter (approximately 7.9-kg). Offsetting
the coils on both sides 60 degrees improved the rigidity of the substrate, suppressing fine
vibrations and reducing self-inductance. These improvements achieved stable rotation
of 0.015% wow and flutter or less, which is considered to be the measurement limit.
Also, the thrust bearings supporting the heavyweight-class platter use a special
engineering plastic to provide both high rigidity and reliability.

Minute Adjustment and Indication of Rotations:
This turntable supports not only LP (33 1/3 rpm) and EP (45 rpm) analogue records, but also
SP (78 rpm). Rotation (rpm) can also be set down to two decimal places (maximum ±16%)
from the control unit. The OLED display is also capable of displaying rotation with accuracy
down to two decimal places, so the user can both hear and see extremely precise rotation.

Suppressing Unwanted Motor Vibration:
The motor that was developed for the SL-1200G served as the platform for the direct drive
motor. The double coil, reinforced thrust bearings, and a chassis with increased rigidity
achieved a stabilised motor with low centre of gravity. By positioning two stainless steel
weights with high rigidity and high specific gravity at the bottom of the chassis, the rigidity
and low centre of gravity are maintained. These thorough measures to prevent unwanted
vibration help to achieve overwhelming rotary precision and improve S/N.

Heavyweight-class Turntable Platter:
The turntable platter positions tungsten weights, which have an extremely high specific
weight and are difficult to process, on the outer periphery of a 10-mm-thick brass weight.
The brass weight is laminated onto the aluminium die-cast, giving the platter a total weight
of approximately 7.9 kg and an inertial mass of approximately 1 ton･cm. A deadening rubber
for eliminating unwanted vibration is also attached to the rear surface to form a 3-layer
construction and achieve high rigidity and excellent vibration damping characteristics.

Separate Control Unit:
The control unit is separated from the main unit to suppress the effects of unwanted noise
on the main unit. In order to achieve a power supply circuit that provides good regulation
for high torque, a switching power supply is used. To reduce the noise reaching the pickup,
the switching power supply is equipped with a unique technology that provides a voltage
supply with minimal noise by a newly developed “unwanted noise reduction circuit”. Also,
to minimise the noise even during communication, a highly reliable system that resists the
effects of external noise is used for communication between the main unit and the control
unit. These thorough noise-reduction measures achieve the world’s highest-level S/N.
