Technics presents the new long-awaited Technics SL-1200MK7 DJ turntable. It has the same ease of use, reliability and durability as its predecessors while being optimized with a coreless direct-drive motor and other sound-enhancing technologies. Also available are new DJ features, such as reverse play for maximum creativity, and an expanded pitch range from ±8% to ±16%.
The tonearm is statically balanced and highly sensitive, providing a highly accurate pickup of the record signal. In terms of vibration damping, the Technics SL-1200MK7 has a two-layer turntable construction, a highly stable housing and effective damping feet. Apart from that, the DJ turntable is equipped with long-lasting and brighter LED needle lighting. Other very practical features include detachable power and signal cables for greater flexibility and start/stop torque adjustment.
In terms of style, the Technics SL-1200MK7 comes with a silver cabinet including silver buttons as well as an S-shaped tonearm, which provides a continuous silver design in an attractive, refined look. With all these features, the DJ turntable aims to set a new standard for DJ turntables.
In a direct drive turntable, the motor is directly connected to the platter. In this case, the so-called cogging torque could cause small irregularities in the rotation. For this reason, a new direct-drive motor has been designed for the Technics SL-1200MK7, which uses an iron-core-less stator, thus completely eliminating the source of cogging torque. This results in smooth rotation and powerful drive torque to enable precise and detailed sound quality on all records.
High sensitivity tonearm
The Technics SL-1200MK7 features a statically balanced S-shaped tonearm that captures the musical information contained in the record groove. The tonearm tube is made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum, with the gimbal bearing section incorporating a machined housing and high-precision bearing elements. This ensures excellent tracking with a minimum of unwanted needle movement even under demanding conditions such as scratching.
The die-cast aluminium platter of the SL-1200MK7 has a two-layer construction. The entire underside of the platter is covered with vibration-absorbing rubber, which eliminates unwanted resonance and provides high stability. This protects the record from harmful vibrations and results in an undistorted, authentic sound.
Rigid housing construction and damping feet with spring-rubber composite.
The DJ turntable has an extremely robust and extremely low-vibration housing. The combination of the injection-molded aluminum frame and fiberglass-reinforced ABS plastic construction provides very high strength and vibration damping, ensuring precise and dynamic sound reproduction.
The feet of the SL-1200MK7 provide ideal damping thanks to the spring-rubber construction. In this way, an extremely good noise immunity is achieved, which is especially welcome for scratch DJs.
The Technics SL-1200MK7 offers besides the two conventional rotation speeds of 33-1/3 and 45 rpm also the possibility to activate 78 rpm via the main on/off switch. Apart from that, the pitch range can be extended from ±8% to ±16%, which provides improved tracking performance and accuracy for perfect beatmatching thanks to fully digital control.
The needle illumination of the SL-1200MK7S features a new print mechanism and a brighter, longer-lasting LED. In addition, the illumination area has been optimized to make it easier to see the needle even in very dark environments.

Technics SL-1200MK7It is expensive but top quality and having the cables detachable is a good improvement for the Mk7. The Mk7 is a bit lighter than previous 1200/1210s. For people new to the technics it is also worth noting that they do not come with a cartridge and stylus so that also needs to be factored into the cost.
Very fine turntable, fantastic looks and very smooth operation. I really appreciate the interchangeble cable option and the settings on the torque and the led colour. However craftsmenship is far from perfect. Firstly, the tonearm lift is far worse then on the mk2, it even makes a squeaking noise when lifting the tonearm. The target light assembly is a cheap-feel solution, but at least it is led and bright. So bright that it reflects directly into your eyes from the side of the platter. Not very convenient. Otherwise I recommend this for home/hobby DJ use. I think the audiophile community will not appreciate these issues that I just mentioned. But in terms of operation, I find this really a joy to play and mix with.
The new improved MK7 version of the Technics, a familar face but with a few new tricks and bits, which improve on what has been the industry standard for 50 years. MK2 had a built in ground and audio cable, these MK7 have an area where you can attach and detach the leads ... which saves on the longevity of the leads especially if you have good audio cables. The turntables are sturdy though they are lighter than the MK2. I'm still a lil bit on the fence with the pitch, but I am coming from using Numark TTX's which responded great, the pitch is good probs just me and takes a bit of getting used to. Overall a fantastic purchase, love them.
