Technics SL-1200MK2

Long recognized by the World's DJs as the best club-use turntable, the famous SL series is without a rival. The turntable uses our original integral roto-platter Direct Drive motor for smooth, non-stop performance and unwavering quartz DD accuracy. This gives DJs the ability to spin records with quick starts, stops, and scratches, for the ultimate mixing experience.
