Turntable Technics SL-1500C has a classic design for the models of this company. Its main features are the use of a direct drive from a powerful and stable engine, as well as a proprietary tonearm with extremely accurate tracking.
The chassis of the turntable adopts a combined structure, its upper part is made of aluminum and the lower part is a fiberglass reinforced ABS plate. This provides excellent damping of resonances, and to protect against external vibrations, the Technics SL-1500C is mounted on damping rubber mounts with a spring inside.
The turntable is equipped with a massive aluminum platter with a rubber coating applied to the top. This decision 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, whose rotational stability is maintained by the latest control circuit. In the Technics SL-1500C model, an electronic change in the speed of rotation of the record is used.
This model has a statically balanced S-shaped tonearm, which has also become one of the most recognizable design elements of the models of this brand. Since the Technics SL-1500C is intended for home use, it comes pre-equipped with an Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge. 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 line 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 in home audio systems, therefore, by eliminating some professional features, its price was very attractive while maintaining high sound quality.
