Description
Timeless Sound. Today’s Style.
Built on Technics’ legacy of coreless direct drive, this new series blends trusted sound with a compact, elegant design — available in Terracotta Brown, Black, and Grey.
The SL-50C maintains the classic Technics turntable characteristics, such as the iron-coreless direct drive motor and the high-precision S-shaped aluminum tonearm, while evolving in a new, sleek design and useability to meet the expectations of today’s vinyl enthusiasts. Aimed at both newcomers and those upgrading from entry-level set ups, the turntable integrates seamlessly into stylish modern interiors, offering high quality performance, simplicity and elegance.
Natural texture
Crafted from MDF, a wood-based material with fine layered fibers, offering quiet warmth and subtle presence — bringing harmony to any living space.
Access more records
Supports 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm for access to a wider range of records.
Optimized for instant vinyl playback
With the included cartridge and built-in phono amplifier precisely matched for optimal performance, simply connect to active speakers or an amplifier and passive speakers — and confidently enjoy vinyl playback immediately.
Driven by the Technics legacy
For decades, Technics’ direct drive has delivered accurate, maintenance-free rotation. This mechanism, which directly spins the platter with strong torque, has evolved to offer even greater precision with a coreless motor that eliminates cogging.
Intelligence Behind the Spin
Digital Control
Digital control elevates rotation accuracy to the highest level through (1) precise speed detection, (2) Per-unit calibration during production, and (3) digitally optimized motor drive signals.
Circuit Layout
Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring. This minimizes distortion of sound.
The built-in MM phono equalizer, optimally tuned to the included cartridge, along with the premium components and case, delivers clear sound with minimal noise.
