Note:

As

Aluminum

base

material

provide

acoustic

isolation

The

effects

of

external

vibrations

are

dramatically

reduced

in

the

turntable

by

this

new

turntable

construction.

The

turntable

base

is

precision-made

aluminum

diecast.

And

the

underside

of

the

main

base

is

made

of

a

heavy

rubber

material

which

has

excelient

vibration

resistance

and

absorbing

characteristics.

The

turntable

platter

is

also

vibra-

tion-damped

with

specially

fabricated

rubber

matting

in

the

underside

along

with

the

thick

turntable

sheet

(rubber

mat).

Four

large-size

insulating

feet

also

help

to

absorb

unwanted

vibrations.

These

features

make

the

SL-1200MK2

ideal

for

use

@

High

torque

for

fast

starts

The

integral

rotor/platter

motor

delivers

1.5kg-cm

(1.3

Ib-in)

starting

torque.

This

high

torque

gives

very

quick

starts

enabling

the

platter

to

reach

33-1/3

rpm

within

0.7

s.

(a

quarter

of

a

turn).

This

is

a

big

advantage

in

many

professional

applications

where

fast

cueing

is

a

necessity.

of

which

is

precisely

defined

at

Bearings

are

finished

to

a

tolerance

of

+0.5

This,

and

the

extra-closeness

of

result

in

the

minimal

friction

of

7

(0.007

for

Add

to

this

the

(including
