The Technics SL-1500C vinyl player has a classic design for models of this company. Its main features are the use of direct drive from a powerful and stable engine, as well as a proprietary tonearm with extremely accurate tracking.
The player's chassis has a combined structure, its upper part is made of aluminum, and the lower part is made of ABS plate reinforced with fiberglass. This provides excellent resonance damping, and to protect against external vibrations, the Technics SL-1500C is mounted on rubber damping supports with a spring inside.
The player is equipped with a massive aluminum platter with a rubber coating applied to the top. This solution made it possible to reliably protect the record from vibrations and make the sound transparent and detailed. The disc is driven by a high-precision motor, the rotational stability of which is maintained by the latest control circuit. The Technics SL-1500C model uses an electronic change in the speed of rotation of the record.
This model has a statically balanced S-shaped tonearm, which has also become one of the most recognizable design elements of models of this brand. Since the Technics SL-1500C is designed for home use, it comes already equipped with an Ortofon 2M Red MM pickup. Another feature of this model is the presence of a built-in MM phono stage. Its circuit operates from a separate power supply and has reliable protection against electrical interference. The presence of a built-in phono stage allows you to connect the Technics SL-1500C to any linear input of an integrated amplifier or AV receiver.
This turntable is a very good choice for many music lovers interested in purchasing a modern direct drive model. The Technics SL-1500C is optimized for use specifically in home audio systems, therefore, by excluding some professional functions, its price was made very attractive while maintaining high sound quality.
