10 FEATURES
(TURNTABLE SECTION)
@ TURNTABLE PLATTER ITSELF THE ROTOR OF THE MOTOR
The direct drive principle innovated by TECHNICS, which has
altered the course of turntable development, has now been car-
ried a step further. Not only does the SL-1300 feature automatic
player system, but it incorporates an ingenious redesign of the
direct drive motor itself.
The result is to connect the motor to the turntable platter directly,
of course, there is no reduction or transmission mechanism
such as a belt or idler.
The turntable platter itself is part of the motor.
In addition, the motor rotates at the same speed of the records.
Wear of parts is, therefore, reduced to the extreme minimum,
and high performance can be maintained.
Thus, there is no" WOW and FLUTTER" caused by a transmission
mechanism. There is no vibration because this motor has no
high speed rotation mechanism. The rumble is extremely low.
@NO EFFECT FROM FLUCTUATIONS OF THE POWER SUPPLY
FREQUENCY
Since the motor is the OC brushless motor, the rotation speed
does not depend on the power supply frequency.
And, the motor power consumption is only 0.1 W, which is less
than 1/100th that of a conventional AC motor, theretore, there is
no effect from electro magnetic vibration.
@ ELECTRONIC STABILIZATION CONTROL
This set includes special circuitry to stabilize the speed electri-
cally. Speed stability is extremely good.
@EASY-VIEW STROBO
'Two sets of strobo dots appear on the tapered rim for 33-1/3 and
45 r.p.m. at both 50 and 60 Hz synchronization, with either type of
AC source. The prism strobo illuminator lights when switch is on,
thus serving as a pilot lamp.
The combination of prism lamp and tapered strobo rim results in
easy viewing from any position.
@ ALUMINIUM DIECAST BASE
The appearance of the SL-1300 is enhanced by the attractively
styled die-cast aluminium base and compact finish.
(6)
The motor power consumption is only 0.1 W and total power
consumption is less than 4 W. (While automatic mechanism is
operating is 6.5W)
This is most important in terms of longer life and reliability.
That is more than the saving of a few pennies of electrical power,
but means less heat, less vibration, less stress on the control
circuitry and less evaporation of lubricants.
(TONEARM SECTION)
@ SIMPLE AND EASY STRUCTURE OF THE HEAD SHELL
The head shell is finished of die-cast aluminium to prevent
vibration.
'The structure of this shell is simple, so that the installation of the
cartridge and the adjustment of the overhang are
easy and fool-
proot.
@ LOW-CAPACITANCE PHONO CABLES
High-frequency audio losses are eliminated and discrete 4-chan-
nel (CD-4) records can be played through a suitable cartridge
with no deterioration in carrier frequencies.
@ FEATHER-TOUCH CUEING
Feather-touch cueing is viscous-damped in both directions for
gentle descent and ascent.
The tonearm will be set down exactly on the groove you desired,
thus protecting the stylus tip from damage.
@EASY ADJUSTMENT OF STYLUS PRESSURE
The stylus pressure adjustment is easy because of helical type
'of movement, just turning the balance weight can adjust the
stylus pressure accurately.
@ PRECISION ANTI-SKATING FORCE CONTROL DEVICE
By precision design, the inside force is canceled accurately.
