This is the successor model of the SL-1200GR, which inherits the technology of the SL-1200G announced in 2016 while bringing together the newly developed technology at the time. Adopts a new generation of motor drive technology, ``ΔΣ (Delta Sigma)-Drive,'' which allows for more precise motor drive. Furthermore, improvements have been made to the power supply circuit, which has a major impact on motor drive.

<Features>

1. New motor drive technology “ΔΣ-Drive” realizes even higher sound quality

Utilizing our unique digital amplifier technology know-how, we have developed a new motor drive technology, ``ΔΣ-Drive.''

Reduces slight uneven rotation and slight vibrations when the motor rotates, achieving stable rotation.

2. Adopts a "Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply" that combines a low-noise switching power supply and a noise removal circuit.

Equipped with a low-noise, low-voltage switching power supply that utilizes the know-how cultivated through the development of fully digital amplifiers.

Adopts "Current Injection Active Noise Cancelling" noise cancellation circuit equivalent to the reference class SL-1000R.

3. High-quality design and environmentally friendly cushioning material following the top model

The design follows the traditional layout of the SL-1200 series, and is available in two colors: silver and black.

Inherits the design of the higher-end model and achieves a higher quality finish.

As part of our efforts to address environmental issues, we have reduced the amount of plastic used in packaging by using cardboard as the cushioning material.
