All user reviews for the Technics SL-1200 MK2

its been one year since I not use a default constant pitch I try Numark TTX (nice but I prefer the grip mk2) Numark TT1650 (but really bofbof for resonable price)
is that I love the most is its just perfect regular torque
little less must find him I would say the pitch of + or - 8% while M5G + or - 16% a treat
I would do without hesitation that choice especially for a white LED model and violets under the top pitch.

Most of the Djs you can see in the clubs, consider the Technics 1200 mk2 as one of the best turntables a music enthusiast can have. If you are starting to learn the basics of this amusing profession, there is no doubt that the technics products should be more frequent in the learning process. The 1200 mk2 version was dealing with a few changes since its first release in 1972, and its developers have made a fantastic turntable, which became a trademark in the hip hop culture because they were using it as an instrument. One of the notable advantages, is the weight of this turntable, which is 31 pounds. Yes, it is unusual for a turntable to weight as much as this, but it is a characteristic that provides a better sound quality since it is absorbing the vibrations from the speakers. Besides the marvellous weight feature, many users are disappointed in the lack of pitch adjustment beyond 8% and its developers aren’t willing to change it, even when some of the competitions were offering a better pitch adjustment. But, the ability to avoid any change of speed is on the highest level and the beatmatch will always be on point.

Technics 1200 mk2 is the default music tool for almost every respectable DJ today, and even if it is amazing for the clubs, it can still do an amazing job in the audiophile world. The people, which are involved in the world of sound and pay an extraordinary level of details when it comes to achieving the perfect sound, are satisfied from Technics 1200 mk2 and suggest it to everyone who has doubts about it. There won’t be any rumble problems with this turntable because of the quality creation and weight of the product. Every DJ would have issues in the clubs if rumble and instability appears. Maybe one of the most important parts of the turntables is the tonearm because it's crucial when it comes to having a great sound. Technics weren’t developing a new tonearm for this turntable and it is an outdated feature that is not a good thing for the audiophiles. So, if you purchase a second hand Technics 1200mk2, you will need to change the tonearm if you are interested in a better sound.

A creation that is built to last has never failed the people who follow the work of Technics and some of the characteristics can’t be found in other turntables. Having the ability to make a quick start-up with only 0.07 seconds, is an amazing feature to provide in the 70s. The torque motor is making a huge difference from the other turntable companies. The authentic moulded aluminium Diecast cabinet and heavy rubber base material keep the product undamaged. All of the vibrations a regular turntable has, can’t be found in Technics 1200 mk2. Today, used Technics 1200 mk2 can be purchased for a huge price, which is almost close to the regular price of a new turntable. The developers aren’t releasing this product anymore, so a used Technics is the only option if you are willing to have an excellent turntable in your home. Always avoid using Technics 1200 from DJs since their condition won’t be on a satisfying level. This is a very important characteristic for the audiophiles and for the people that don’t want to replace it with another turntable in a few years.

Pros:
- Built to last
- Sliding pitch control
- Designed for professional DJs
- Audiophile quality
- Absorbs vibrations
- Perfect beatmatching


Cons:
- Technics doesn’t release them anymore
- The second hand price is almost as expensive as a new turntable
- Lack of pitch adjustment beyond 8%

The reputation of this plate is well established.

I mix on since 1995 Mk2 and I do that would change for the new model as the TECHNICS SL 1210 MK5G (Mk3 except pitch switchable +16 / -16, speed adjustment of the brake, and antiskating up to 6g)

the Mk2 have small defects in particular the pitch is not very stable from 0 to allentours and extremitées but there is no better turntable on a shelf dedicated to the mix, the arm S is impressive precision and eryrthema must do to get to nag him given the "games".

This is the basic side and old-school in this one which makes its atoux and also his life that if you take a minimum of care may be indestructible casi-

can t we talk about value for money? These are plates that are relatively expensive but good there as no better (even if the competitor are the feet and hands to equal there'll never get the stanton vestax etc. ... with 50 miles buttons and bizarre forms can be stored in the trash).

I told him my 9 out of 10 because for this year or technics declined several new model SL-1210 (the Mk3, the MK5G especially) technics turntables are even better and will for quite some years to come.

What should not be heard, after 30 years of loyal service, reviews ......
Incredibly, more than an institution, it should be lifted grade more than a divine object, a musical instrument Entire apart. It is not given to anyone with jou ... dj for the price, I have four, two of which will have 20 years this year and 2 MK5 6 months ... one complaint ..... Price, As for the + / - 8%, it's simple just opened it 259 bolts and nuts
And Miracle .... An adjustment screw SPEED AND BRAKE, we turn to the left decreases the quartz or the brake is turned clockwise to increase, simple. Running on it's + / - 16% YES ..... Ideal for techno or scratch .... when the brake if it is set to maximum, the start button is pressed, the plateur stops and back backwards so it is powerful.
One small note, the DJ who used to lick the back of the cell for better contact shoeing can make a better chemistry, saliva as Coros, cele it attacks the internal contact of the arm and causes during the sional contacts bad audio, instead of using Vaseline to the plate not the girlfriend .... and also she does not like Coke or I Jonhy W. And a small flat deck they go so well. Rovers to 20Hz alias Rambling (BRRRRRRRRRR in HP's), the small inflatable pillow to put in X below, which an invention deserves a Nobel Prize has its own, consult the offerings left for more info's.
