When developing a direct-drive motor, considerable capital investment is required for large-scale production equipment. In contrast, belt drives can be made with a little cost. Also, compared with direct-drive, belt drive was designed with the latest technology. The view remains that direct-drive is for DJ use and belt drive is for Hi-Fi use. Originally, direct-drive offered superior sound quality. If Technics redesign the direct-drive motor and control circuitry, they will be able to create a turntable that is superior to other systems.
Technics was also a leader in incorporating innovations, such as vibration-damping materials, cabinet construction, and insulators. Having inherited the DNA of Technics, they do not wish to merely make a replica of the SL-1200.
In other words, their intent in this development is to redefine the direct-drive turntable reference.
Coreless Direct Drive Motor
Conventional analogue turntables have problems with degradation in sound quality caused by factors such as minute speed vibration during rotation and rotation irregularity called "cogging." In the SL-1200GEG, the use of a newly developed coreless direct-drive motor with no iron core eliminates cogging. Also, the twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing load while maintaining high torque, and also reduces minute vibration during rotation. These factors enable reproduction of the warm, exquisitely detailed sound etched on analogue records.
High-Precision Motor Control Technology
The application of motor control technology developed for Blu-ray devices, and switching the drive mode depending on the operational status of the motor achieve a high starting torque and high speed stability.
Four-layered Cabinet Construction
A hairline-processed, 10-mm-thick top panel of immaculate aluminium has been added to the previous three-layered construction of aluminium diecast, BMC, and heavyweight-class rubber on the SL-1200MK5. This four-layered construction combines high rigidity with a high quality finish and feel.
High Sensitive Tonearm
The tonearm employs lightweight magnesium which has a high damping effect, with cold drawing improving the characteristics of the material and achieving the high-precision required. In addition, high initial-motion sensitivity is attained by employing the traditional Technics gimbal suspension construction with horizontal rotation axis and the vertical rotation axis intersecting at a single central point, as well as high-precision bearings using a cut-processed housing.
High-Quality Terminals
The use of brass-milled and gold-plated phono terminals and ground terminals prevents degradation in sound quality while enabling the easy attaching and detaching of cables. Also theuse of metal shielding construction inside the case reduces the effects of external noise.
High-level Balance Adjustment
When the weight distribution of the turntable is uneven, excess vibration or noise occurs during rotation, which causes degradation in sound quality. Therefore, the balance of the turntable is adjusted at the factory by using specialised high-precision balance adjustment equipment for each and every item after the turntable is assembled. Turntables that have undergone adjustment are labelled with a sticker reading ""BALANCED"" to indicate that adjustment has been done.
Three-layered Turntable Platter
The turntable has a three-layered construction with a rigidly combined brass and aluminium diecast platter. With a deadening rubber covering its entire rear surface to eliminate unnecessary resonance, thereby achieving high rigidity and vibration damping. This delivers smooth rotational stability and inertial mass surpassing the SP-10MK2, the direct-drive turntable standard used by broadcast stations worldwide, as well as having more than twice the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5.

Awesome carry case for the XDJ AZ ! Perfect size and keeps the contents safe as !
The upgrade is one I don’t think I’ll ever outgrow , insanely good model and I can’t wait to become better and better using it.
If you’re looking to upgrade or don’t want the full cdj setup look no further!
Soo helpful
The gentleman who helped me in store was fantastic. Patient and knowledgeable about the product. Thanks!
Great set of headphones. So much easier with no cable attached to the DJ system. No latency at all just like as if a cable is used.
Awesome product.
The headphone is simply perfect. As a DJ and producer for over a decade, I can say that it has a very good quality.
Good quality product, very happy with the purchase
Ive been putting off buying these for years. My og ones were thrown in a skip by my dad. Still bitter about that but I'm super happy with this purchase. They look very high quality and obviously make my 1200mk2's look even more fantastic. Hope not to have to buy them again but if I do, it'll be from Mix Foundation. 10/10 🤙🕺
Mike was extremely pleasant to deal with and cordial. Went out of his way to help me with a small and finickity order buying some chroma caps, which indicate to me that the Mix Foundation don't see customers as ATMs but as people. Also they care about what the customer needs and are prepared to put time into finding out, so I would trust them to give honest advice to help people fulfill their djing needs. I would certainly recommend this company!
Value for money is right up there. If you want the fuss-free convenience of a single piece of kit, put this on your list. The dynamics are right in the pocket and not overbearing or woolly at all. Runs my old Tannoy Mercurys beautifully, and the REL sub is almost superfluous.
Very pleasant and knowledgeable people to deal with. Will help out all customers, I was just buying some chroma caps, and Mike was an extremely helpful and pleasant person with this slightly fiddly request. You know if they help their small customers they are genuine people, so they have earned my trust and I would certainly shop with them for a bigger purchase. Thanks bro!
Great service, Super fast delivery, awesome decks. Well happy with my purchase. Thank you.
Order,Delivery, packaging and Product is 100% Quality. Keep it up. Highly recommended. Technics sound really good.
Excellent comfort and sound for the price.
