Using Technics’ famous and expensively engineered direct drive system, the SL1200 MK7 delivers class-leading torque for super-stable pitch and rapid start/stop action. When you need to precisely control your mixing, this is still the standard setter. But the fact is that ‘direct drive’ nevertheless in the basic idea has a significant advantage as the engine power directly relies on the rotation of the platter. Furthermore, direct-drive motors operate at a lower speed(lower RPM) and due to minimally generated vibrations cancel the negative vibration effect on the signal and noise ratio. Finally, they are more reliable at work and longer-lasting.

From the disco era to today’s super-clubs, the Technics SL1210 (and similar SL1200) has been and still is the heart of most professional DJs’ gigs.

Digital Trends. 8 January 2017. Generally, the turntables by type of the drive are divided into ‘belt drive’ and ‘direct drive’ turntable. Both drives have the same task, which is turning the platter. And while the ‘belt drive’ constructions are based on separate engines that rotate the plate, ‘direct drive’ is, as the name suggests, the motor directly connected to the platter. Both concepts have their advantages and disadvantages, and the fact is that most of the manufacturers have embraced the ‘belt drive’ concept because the other one is a concept with more negative than positive features. Pressing the button raises the lamp that illuminates the stylus. An extremely useful and practical solution, especially in dark conditions. Technics have finally unveiled their brand new SL-1210 Mk7 direct drive turntable, a high torque turntable aimed primarily for DJ purposes.

The SL-1210 Mk7 is Technics first new standard DJ turntable in nine years.

The problem is that the belt is subject to change in the sense of the material itself (most often the rubber) which expands over time and changes properties depending on the conditions in which it is located. Look at this as a winter and summer car tire. Therefore, at higher temperatures, the belts are stretched, while the lower ones are stiffer. Overreacting? I would not say because most of the “belt drive” turntable manufacturer just suggests replacing the belt after some time. Also, keep in mind that of crucial importance for proper reproduction is the balanced rotation of the platter and then everything else.The anti-resonant feet of the turntable base are also tools for achieving a horizontal position.
