Technics Original Integral Rotor-Platter Quartz DD (Direct-Drive) Motor
    Direct Drive turntables use Technics' original integral roto-platter Direct Drive motor for smooth, non-stop performance and unwavering quartz DD accuracy. This gives DJs the ability to spin records with quick starts, stops, and scratches, for the ultimate mixing experience.
High Torque
    Technics' motor provides the ability for high torque starts, so your music is sure to start right on the beat. The 1200MK2's ultra-low-speed motor and high torque (1.5kg/cm) allow for super quick start-ups (0.7 sec) and stops.
Vibration Resistant Construction
    A die-cast aluminum body, heavy rubber base, and a lack of unnecessary components or empty space allow the 1200MK2 to absorb unwanted vibrations that could otherwise interfere with the sound.
Quartz Locked Pitch Adjustment
    Total quartz locked continuous pitch adjustment up to ±8%.
Recessed Power Control
    Prevents the turntable from being shut off accidentally.
Unwavering Quartz DD Accuracy
    Instead of just spinning the platter, the classic Technics Direct-Drive system actually incorporates it into the motor, reducing the number of parts that can malfunction and making consistent, accurate speeds possible. It's a system that has been providing fast start-up times and unequalled responsiveness for over thirty years.
