Technics SL-1300GE-S silver
The Technics SL-1300GE-S turntable features a Hi-Fi design and the new ΔΣ-Drive motor technology, guaranteeing high rotational precision and low vibration. The turntable's new motor, three-layer platter, and extremely rigid chassis ensure even higher sound quality. The state-of-the-art ΔΣ-Drive system leverages Technics' expertise in PWM signal processing. In addition to reducing harmonics, the new drive suppresses motor vibrations, delivering smoother and more precise rotation for a full musical reproduction. For the insulators supporting the body, the turntable uses a special silicone rubber that provides high vibration damping characteristics and long-term reliability.
Key features of the Technics SL-1300GE-S turntable, silver

- High-precision balance adjustment
- Platter made from a combination of die-cast aluminium and brass
Coreless direct-drive motor for stable rotation
Thanks to its coreless direct-drive motor with no iron core, the turntable eliminates uneven platter rotation, preventing speed fluctuations. The twin-rotor design also reduces bearing load while maintaining high torque and minimising minor vibrations during rotation. Additionally, the turntable motor has been redesigned to eliminate subtle vibrations that could affect sound quality. To improve durability, the base for mounting the coil uses the same reinforcement pattern as the reference-class SL-1000R/SP-10R.
Vibration-resistant construction
The turntable has a three-layer construction with a rigid aluminium and brass platter. The entire rear surface is covered with damping rubber to eliminate unnecessary resonance, achieving high rigidity with effective vibration damping. It delivers smooth rotational stability and an inertial mass greater than the SP-10MK2, which is considered the gold standard for turntables in radio stations worldwide, and twice the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5.
Vibration-resistant construction
The turntable ensures high durability by using a two-layer body construction that firmly unites the BMC and the die-cast aluminium chassis. Reinforcing ribs have been added between the motor and the tonearm on the top panel. This improves durability and provides vibration-damping properties. When a turntable's weight distribution is uneven, excessive vibration or noise occurs during rotation, causing a deterioration in sound quality. Therefore, the platter's balance is adjusted at the factory using specialised, high-precision adjustment equipment. Turntables that have undergone adjustment are marked with a 'BALANCED' sticker.
Multi-stage silent power supply
Using a high-speed switching supply ensures stable power capacity with less noise and hum. Using a switching power supply for the turntable eliminates the need for a large transformer and measures against subsequent mechanical vibrations. A switching frequency above 100kHz limits the impact of noise on the music playback bandwidth. The current injection active noise cancelling technology combines a noise detection device with a deviation amplifier. It detects residual noise in the power supply and uses an inverse-phase current to remove noise components. It removes low-frequency noise more effectively than a regulator, ensuring a higher quality power supply.
Tonearm with high start-up sensitivity
The tonearm follows the rotation of the record. As a legacy of the Technics brand, the turntable has a lightweight and rigid aluminium tonearm with a traditional statically balanced universal S-shape. Thanks to the gimbal suspension, high-precision bearing, and manual assembly by skilled professionals, it achieves high initial motion sensitivity. This meticulous design ensures precise tracking of the record's grooves. Additionally, it includes an auxiliary weight that provides flexibility for a wide range of phono cartridges.
