Coreless Direct Drive Motor

Thehigh‐qualitysoundrealised bytheexceptionalS/Nratio

andhighrotationaccuracyofthedirectdrivesystem

employedinTechnicsturntableproductshascaptivatedthe

heartsofaudiophilestheworldover.TheSL‐1500Cinherits

thesamehigh‐qualitysoundfoundinTechnics’high‐end

turntablemodels.Itusesasingle‐rotor,corelessdirectdrive

motorinwhichthestatorhasnocoreandeliminatesthe

rotationirregularitycalledcogging.Inthismotor,the

magneticforceoftherotormagnetswasimprovedtothe

highestpossiblelevel,andthegapbetweenthecoreless

statorandrotormagnetswasoptimised,thusachievinghigh

torqueperformanceequalling thatoftheSL‐1200MK5while

eliminatingcogging.Furthermore,themotorcontrolwas

optimised inaccordancewiththeplatterweight.Asaresult,

theSL‐1500Chasrealised highrotationaccuracyandhigh

performance,andeliminatedtheneedforpartsreplacement

andmaintenance.Anotheradvantageofthedirectdrive

Coreless Direct Drive Motor

Inthedirectdrivesystem,themotorisconnecteddirectlytotheplattersothatthe

motorrotationspeedbecomestherotationspeedofthephonorecord.Therefore,itis

extremelyimportanttocontrolthedrivemotor’srotationspeedtoensurestability.

TheSL‐1500Cutilises thelatestmotorcontroltechnologyrefinedthroughthe

developmentofBlu‐raydiscproducts.Furthermore,theFGcoilpatternofthefull‐

circumferencedetectionFGsystemwasimprovedinprecisiontoachievemore

detailedmeasurementofplatterrotationspeed.

accuratemotorcontrol.TheSL‐1500Calsoutilisesthenewestmotorcontrol

technologyrefinedthroughthedevelopmentofBlu‐raydiscproducts.Furthermore,it

incorporatestechnologiesusedinhigh‐endmodelstocorrectvariationsof

Turntable Platter

Theplatteronwhichavinylrecordisplacedfeaturesatwo‐layerstructurewithdeadeningrubberontheentirebacksurfaceto

eliminateunwantedresonanceinthealuminium die‐castplatter.Theplatteroffershighrigidityandoutstandingvibration‐

dampingcharacteristicstopreventharmfulvibrationfrombeingtransmittedtotherecordanddeliversclearsound.

Toincreasetheinertialmassandminimise vibration,theshapeofthealuminium die‐castsectionwasoptimised through

simulation.Forextrarigidity,reinforcingribswereaddedtothebackside.Theincreasedareaofcontactwiththedeadening

rubbercontributestotheoutstandingvibration‐dampingcharacteristicthatismorethantwotimeshigherthanthatoftheSL‐

Auto Lifter Function

EquippedwithanAutoLifterFunctionThatAllowsYoutoEnjoyPlayingRecordsMoreComfortably

Whenthetonearmreachestheendoftherecord,theAutoLifterfunctionautomaticallyraisesthecartridge.Thisprevents

unnecessarywearonyourvaluablevinylrecordsandstylus.ByembeddingtheAutoLifterfunctioninthebaseportionofthe

tonearm,iteliminatesimpactstothetonearm.Duetoasimpledesignthatdoesn’tusemotorpower,thereisnoelectricalor

vibrationalimpactanditwillnotpreventthemovementofthetonearm.Inresponsetorequestsfrommanyusersregarding

theAutoLifterfunction,adesignthatprioritizessoundqualitywasadopted.Thefunctionsrequiredtoplaybackrecords

werekepttoabareminimum,achievingsimpleandeasy‐to‐useoperability.
