The music source is at the heart of any hi-fi system, but you no longer need to choose between analogue and digital. With the Technics SL-1200GR2 turntable connected to the SC-CX700 wireless speaker, you can get the best of both worlds – the warmth and authenticity of vinyl, plus the convenience and versatility of streaming.
It’s a set-up that seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology for a sublime audio experience.
But that’s hardly surprising for such a heritage-rich brand as Technics.
Continual innovation
Technics introduced the world’s first direct drive turntable, the SP-10, in 1970. What was so innovative about it? It surpassed belt-driven systems by providing an enhanced Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio and remarkable reliability.
You can trace a direct line from this, via Technics’ coreless direct drive motor – which eliminated cogging – to the SL-1200GR2’s coreless direct drive motor, which ensures exceptionally smooth and precise rotation, resulting in a superior musical experience.
Within the SL-1200GR2’s motor drive circuit sits Technics’ revolutionary Delta Sigma Drive system. This breakthrough eliminates even the slightest motor-generated vibrations, providing listeners with a rich and immersive sound.
These innovations are aided by the turntable’s multi-stage silent power supply, which provides low-noise, low-voltage variation, creating a sound with enhanced clarity. And the high-rigidity platter and tonearm ensure precise tracking and vibration damping for the most accurate sound reproduction possible.
Unparalleled versatility
Its partner in crime is the SC-CX700 wireless speaker system. Technics’ first product was actually a speaker, 1965’s Technics 1. So to say speakers are in its DNA would be an understatement.
The SC-CX700 is the perfect match for the SL-1200GR2 turntable. It features the Technics Orchestration Concept, combining advanced speaker, amplifier and signal processing technologies for a precise and detailed sound reproduction. Add to this its agnostic compatibility with all sorts of sources, from streaming services to vinyl records and even television, and you’ve got a complete one-box solution that’s among the most versatile around.
But it’s no jack of all trades, master of none. Its Space Tune function adjusts the sound quality to the environment with presets and automatic calibration, ensuring optimal audio performance regardless where you’re experiencing it.
And it will make a stunning centrepiece to any home set-up. Its elegant design features a Dinamica microfibre material that’s soft like suede, helping it harmonise with any interior decor.
Just as enjoyable to look at as to listen to, this combination of SL-1200GR2 and SC-CX700 will integrate into your lifestyle to deliver an unparalleled listening experience however you get your music.
