SL-2000 "Black Beauty" Direct Drive Turntable
The SL-2000
is designed for those who want direct drive performance at a moderate cost.
This beauty is equipped with Technics famous brushless DC motor, which operates
free from power line fluctuactions and trouble causing heat and hum. The
absence of moving parts in the motor means better reliability and longer
service life. Completely accurate platter speed is quaranteed by a One Chip IC
servo control, a simple and compact unit equivalent to 78 electronic
components. The result of all this precision is wow & flutter of only
0,045% (WRMS) and rumble 0f -70 dB (DIN B).
A precisely
manufactured tonearm ensures minimum tracking error and optimium mass
distribution for high compliance cartridges. Clear and clean sound reproduction
is assisted by the Insulation Fibre Board (IFB) and a newly developed insulator
which effectively shields the motor and tonearm assembly from outside
vibrations. The heavy zinc diecast tonearm base also works to prevent vibration
and subsonic resonances.
Other
features include a fine-scale (increments of 2,5g) direct reading antiskating
device, an illuminated stroboscope, independent pitch controls variable by up
to 10%, viscous-damped cueing, aluminum diecast universal headshell, and
detachable dust cover.
