How is the record driven on the turntable?

The turntable is equipped with a coreless direct drive motor. The motor rotates slowly, keeping your turntable very stable. This way, the rotation remains very precise and delivers powerful torque. Due to the smooth rotation and strong torque of the motor, the turntable’s stylus can better follow the grooves in the analog record and thus reproduce the sound well.

Is the stylus visible in dark environments?

The Technics SL-1210 MK7 turntable is equipped with lighting on the side of the platter. This stylus illuminator is fitted with a bright white LED that illuminates a large area of the record. This allows you to keep a good view of the stylus on the record even in dark environments. This prevents you from placing the stylus in the wrong groove. The lighting is easily activated by pressing on top of the illuminator. It will then pop up and the LED light will turn on.

Does the stylus remain stable on the record while playing?

The turntable is equipped with a very sensitive tonearm. By correctly adjusting the static balance of the tonearm, you ensure that the stylus stays properly on the record. Additionally, the arm is equipped with high-quality bearings that allow it to follow the groove in the record very accurately. Even when the record has many scratches, the stylus can continue to follow the correct groove. Furthermore, the Technics SL-1210 MK7 has a cabinet with sufficient damping. This absorbs vibrations well and prevents them from being transmitted to the stylus.

Can I also play singles on the turntable?

The Technics SL-1210 MK7 comes with a single adapter. This makes it possible to play not only full albums on the turntable but also singles. By using a single, you don’t have to search through an entire LP for the perfect song for that moment. Especially in dark environments, it’s easier to place a single on the turntable. Of course, you’ll need to bring these yourself.
