Technics SL-D202 turntable

 

Slimline Direct Drive Turntable

When you select a turntable, you're forging an important link in your stereo system. It is a bridge between the one dimensional,vinyl world of your records and the acoustic realm of listening pleasure. That's why Technics has taken great care in engineering the SL-D202 turntables. Designed with the slim, sleek look of today, both the SL-D202, combine direct drive technology with the superior craftsmanship that has become a Technics turntable tradition. These one of remarkably dependable turntables have many features in common. For example, there's the integral-rotor platter direct drive motor for smooth, silent rotation, and the gimbal suspension tonearm. And the SL-D202 have tachnics non-resonant compound (TNRC) base construction which stifles vibration. What's more, there are electronic soft-touch controls on the front panel. All this adds up to two turntables with built-in reliability.

 

Semi-Automatic Tonearm

If you don't need the convenience an automatic turntable has to offer, Technics has created this semi-automatic turntable, you manually place the tonearm and stylus at the lead-in groove of the record. However, the tonearm automatically returns to the armrest when the side of a record is completed.

 

Additional features:

Pitch Control with illuminated Stroboscope

Aluminum diecast support portions for gimbal suspension

Precise tracking force adjustment with fine adjustments in increments of 0,1 gram, and antiskating control

Single-molded, aluminum diecast headshell.

Headshell stand
