Technics SL-D3 turntable

Features:

Front panel controls provide exceptional convenience

Integral rotor/platter structure for stable rotation

"TNRC" (Technics Non-Resonance Compound) base material provides an acoustic shield

Low-mass, low-friction gimbal suspension tonearm

Pitch control with illuminated stroboscope

Viscous-damped cueing

Anti-skating control

Hinged, detachable dust cover

Auto-start, auto-stop, auto-return and programmable repeat play make the SL-D3 a pleasure to use.

Since everything is automatic, you don't need to touch the tonearm unless you want to move too a particular cut on the record. The "memo-repeat" feature allows you to repeat a rcord up to six times, or indefinitely if you prefer.

 

Ask any disc jockey about direct-drive specifications as accurate as these and he'll tell you how important they are. He'll also tell you how expensive they are. Unless he's heard about Technics D-3 turntables. You'll use our D Series turntables for the same reasons radio stations and discos use our professional turntables; the performance of Technics direct drive. Yet perhaps the best part about all this performance is the prices you can have it for.

And with Technics, the price includes our B-FG servo-speed control which constantly monitors and instantaneously corrects turntable speed. So even if the power fluctuates, your Technics direct-drive performance won't. that's an important feature.

So is having all the electronic controls on the front panel. You can turn the power on, change speed, change record size, program Memo-Repeat, even vary the pitch by 10%, all without ever lifting the hinged, detachable dust cover. But when you do, you'll discover Technics universal S-shaped statically balanced tonearm. It not only has an anti-skate control but oil-damped cueing , too.

And the Base is made from Technics unique THRC base material. So even if you play your music loud, there's little chance of acoustic feedback.
