{"product_id":"technics-sl-1210gr2-schwarz","title":"Technics SL-1210GR2, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Technics SL-1210GR2 is a direct-drive turntable from the Grand Class that combines the ironless coreless motor with the new ΔΣ-Drive control and a statically balanced S-shaped tonearm into a high-precision entry point into the Grand Class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short: the most accessible route to genuine Technics direct drive – and for many, the ideal balance between price and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy the SL-1210GR2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it cleverly breaks down the core technology of the pricier models. The ironless coreless motor runs without cogging, and the new ΔΣ-Drive control smooths the rotation further – the result is remarkably calm, stable speed stability. Add to that the proven S-tonearm with detachable headshell, which tracks many cartridges cleanly. Solid, low-maintenance and built to last – typical Technics, just more affordable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder and calm. The SL-1210GR2's drive holds the speed so stable that notes stand firm and the bass doesn't wobble. The sound is clean, dynamic and pleasantly effortless – exactly the virtues direct drive is loved for. With a good cartridge it draws a surprising amount of detail out of the groove, without ever sounding harsher than the record itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the SL-1210GR2 suited for? (and who it isn't – straight talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e The GR2 is for newcomers and upgraders who want genuine Technics direct drive without investing straight into the top league. What you should know: cartridge and phono preamp aren't built in – those are extra. If you want maximum flywheel mass and the magnesium tonearm, look at the SL-1200G\/1210G; if you just want to get started quickly and affordably, you'll find more suitable options further down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1210GR2 is one of the most sensible decks in its class: solidly built, technically up to date, and sonically well above what the price suggests. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we set it up with a matching cartridge and phono stage, so you hear the full result from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: direct-drive turntable (Grand Class)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive: ironless coreless direct drive with ΔΣ-Drive control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds: 33 1\/3, 45, 78 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonearm: statically balanced S-shaped tonearm (aluminium), effective length 230 mm, detachable headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter: die-cast aluminium with rubber damping, approx. 2.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge: not included (choose separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: phono output (RCA, detachable) + ground cable; separate phono preamp required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): approx. 453 × 173 × 372 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 11.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: turntable, headshell, counterweight, platter, RCA cable, ground cable, dust cover, manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference to the SL-1200G \/ SL-1210G?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe GR2 uses the same coreless direct-drive concept, but comes with a lighter platter and an aluminium instead of a magnesium tonearm. The larger model offers more flywheel mass and a finer arm. For most people the GR2 is the smarter start; if you want the maximum, reach higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SL-1210GR2 come with everything needed to play records?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost. The deck itself is complete, but the cartridge and phono preamp are separate. Many amplifiers already have a phono input; otherwise you add a small phono stage. We're happy to put together a coherent, ready-to-go combination for you – fully mounted on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the GR2 also good for occasional DJ use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's robust enough, and the pitch control is precise. But its home is the hi-fi shelf, not the club: it's optimised for clean sound, not for scratch loads. For ambitious listening at home, it's exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the SL-1210GR2 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we make getting started easy: our technician Mauri mounts and aligns the cartridge, we recommend the right phono stage and deliver it ready to play on request.
