Vinyl, TV and streaming are ready to go instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause here, two devices replace an entire chain. The SL-1500C is a genuine Technics direct drive with a coreless motor, a factory-fitted Ortofon 2M Red and a built-in, switchable phono stage – unpack, connect, listen. The SC-CX700 brings the rest: bi-amplified coaxial drivers (100 W per speaker), a full-fledged streamer (AirPlay 2, Qobuz, TIDAL, Roon) and connections for vinyl and TV. Two devices, one complete system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinyl with calm and contour, streaming with precision. The direct drive keeps the speed rock-steady, so notes stay stable; the CX700's coaxial driver places voices centrally and cleanly in the room. Via Space Tune, the pair adapts to your room (free-standing, against the wall, on a shelf). Whether it's a record, TV sound via HDMI ARC or a hi-res stream – the chain sounds all of a piece, because it's matched by Technics itself. Available in various combinations of deck and speaker colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set for? (and who it isn't – straight talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SL-1500C + SC-CX700 set is for anyone who wants vinyl and streaming in a tidy living room – without an amplifier tower and without hunting for speakers. Both speakers need a power outlet, that's how active systems work. If you already love an amplifier and passive floorstanding speakers, you don't need this set. But if you're after a complete, minimalist fresh start with a high-quality turntable, you get a well-rounded overall package here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cleverly combined all-in-one system: a ready-to-go direct drive meets an active streaming pair with genuine hi-fi ambition – two devices, no rack. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we check the setup and placement, tune the CX700 to your room using Space Tune, and deliver the system fully set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet contents: Technics SL-1500C turntable + Technics SC-CX700 streaming speakers (pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurntable type: direct drive with built-in, switchable phono preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive: Coreless direct drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds: 33 1\/3, 45, 78 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge: Ortofon 2M Red (factory-fitted \u0026amp; aligned)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker type: fully active streaming speaker pair (2-way coaxial, bass reflex)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker amplification: bi-amping per speaker, 200 W total (100 W per speaker)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker connections: Phono MM, AUX 3.5 mm, optical, USB-C, HDMI ARC, subwoofer pre-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreaming: AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music, internet radio, Roon Ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom correction: Space Tune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurntable dimensions (W × H × D): approx. 453 × 169 × 372 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker dimensions per unit (W × H × D): approx. 201 × 313 × 276 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: turntable approx. 9.9 kg; speakers approx. 9.1 \/ 8.9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: SL-1500C with Ortofon 2M Red, SC-CX700 Primary + Secondary, remote control, 3 m link cable, 2× power cable, RCA\/ground cable, dust cover, manuals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included in the SL-1500C + SC-CX700 set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Technics SL-1500C direct-drive turntable with factory-fitted Ortofon 2M Red and the Technics SC-CX700 streaming speaker pair. That gives you turntable, streamer, power amps and speakers complete – only sources and power outlets are up to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I still need an amplifier?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The power amps are built into the CX700 speakers (bi-amping, 100 W per side). The turntable connects directly to the pair – a separate amplifier is completely unnecessary. Each speaker just needs a power outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the turntable connected?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlexibly: the SL-1500C has a switchable phono stage, and the CX700 has its own MM phono input. You can either use the deck's internal stage (into AUX) or switch it off and use the speaker's phono input. We'll set up the clean path for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the set work without a streaming subscription?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Vinyl via the turntable, TV sound via HDMI ARC, internet radio and local network files all work with no subscription at all. Services like Qobuz or TIDAL are an option – the set is enjoyable without them too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the SL-1500C + SC-CX700 set at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause an active system lives and dies by placement and calibration, and a turntable by clean alignment. We check both, tune the CX700 with Space Tune, and deliver the system ready to go. Questions?
