To be released in seven colours, with a worldwide limited release of just 12,000 units. THE LEGEND KEEPS SPINNING In an age of streaming, dropping the needle on a record remains a uniquely tactile experience that continues to inspire DJs and music lovers around the world. Since 1972, the Technics SL-1200 series has helped shape music culture alongside DJs and vinyl lovers worldwide. The Gold Edition commemorates the 55th anniversary of the series and the legacy built together over the past 55 years. The timeless value of truly engaging with music remains pure gold for generations to come. Choose Your Colour from 7 Shades As DJ culture expands beyond clubs into cafés, lounges and other spaces, seven distinctive colors are designed to complement every setting. Paired with gold accents, they honor the SL-1200 series’ iconic design and rich heritage while bringing a new visual presence to every performance. Coreless Direct Drive Motor for Stable Rotation Retaining the outstanding performance of the SL-1200MK7, the direct drive system uses a slow-turning motor to directly drive the platter, offering high performance, accuracy, and powerful torque without needing part replacements. While traditional direct drive systems had issues with rotation irregularity (cogging), the SL-1200M7GL/M7G features a new coreless direct drive motor that eliminates this problem. The motor’s improved magnetic force and optimized gap between the stator and rotor ensure smooth rotation and high torque, matching the performance of the SL-1200MK5. This results in accurate and faithful sound reproduction from your records. Engineered Precision Each unit bears a unique serial number on the gold edition badge, and only 12,000 will be produced. Equipped with a magnesium tonearm featuring a gold finish. A limited-edition slipmat featuring a gold Technics logo. Serial Number Plate Gold Slipmat with Gold Logo Tonearm The tonearm features a static-balance S-shape design and high-precision bearings for accurate groove tracking and minimal stylus jumping during scratching. Pitch Fader Digital pitch control fine-tunes speed within ±8%/±16%, using all-digital slider-tomotor control to avoid DA conversion for stable, accurate tracking. Platter An aluminium die-cast platter, rib-reinforced underneath, combines with deadening rubber in a two-layer structure to suppress unwanted resonance. Spring-and-rubber insulators optimize frequency response for high sound quality and howling resistance, blocking vibration even at high volumes for clear audio. *The platter has the same construction as the SL-1200MK7 shown here. Cabinet High-end-inspired chassis reduces vibration for pristine sound. Aluminium diecast, ABS and glass fibre form a robust two-layer structure with enhanced damping. Input/Out Detachable power and phono terminals ease maintenance and transport. Goldplated phono terminals resist corrosion for stable sound and easy cable upgrades. 78 rpm Speed You can switch between 33-1/3 rpm, 45 rpm, and even 78 rpm speeds.
