Technics SL-10R : Turntable
The SP-10RÂ is being described as the company’s “most premium turntable ever”, features a coreless direct-drive motor that Technics claims has enough force to rotate the platter with very low-speed irregularities.
Its platter is weighed down by a 10mm-thick brass weight, which is directly bonded onto the aluminium die-cast platter and gives it a total weight of 7.9 kg.
A rubber layer attached to the rear surface of the platter is also used to further dampen any unwanted vibrations.
That’s just one of the noise-reduction measures Technics has employed here. Others include separating the control unit from the main unit, and equipping the switched mode power supply with unique technology that provides a voltage supply with minimal noise via a newly-developed ‘noise reduction circuit’.
The SP-10R plays at 33 1/2, 45 and 78rpm, and the rotation can be viewed on its OLED display.
The shape and fixing positions of the SP-10R have been designed to allow for complete backward compatibility, so the SP-10R is entirely interchangeable with previous SP-10 Series models.
That means owners of the SP-10MK2 and SP-10MK3 turntables can upgrade to the SP-10R but continue using their base and tonearm. The control unit is also the same shape and size as the SP-10MK2 power unit for easy replacement.
