Description

We’re pleased to introduce the SL-1500CS Direct Drive Turntable, the latest evolution of the award-winning SL-1500C — now enhanced with Technics’ revolutionary ΔΣ (Delta Sigma) Drive technology.

For the first time, ΔΣ-Drive is brought to this level of the Technics turntable line-up, delivering ultra-smooth rotation, exceptional speed accuracy, and significantly reduced motor vibration. The result is sonic performance that sets a new best-in-class standard for the premium entry segment.

The SL-1500CS features an iron-coreless direct drive motor with ΔΣ-Drive control for outstanding rotational accuracy, housed in a rigid aluminum die-cast chassis with advanced vibration damping. It is equipped with Technics’ classic S-shaped aluminum tonearm with high-precision bearings, a built-in switchable MM phono equalizer, and comes supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge for true plug-and-play listening. Added convenience comes from the automatic tonearm lift, while a new elegant metallic grey finish and eco-conscious, EPS-free packaging complete the package.

The SL-1500CS brings true audiophile performance, heritage engineering, and modern convenience together in one compelling product.
