The Technics SL-1210 mk2 is a turntable model manufactured by Panasonic's Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd in 1979. It is considered one of the most iconic and influential turntables in music history due to its use in DJ applications, especially in hip hop and electronic music genres. The SL-1210 mk2 features a direct-drive system, which allows the turntable to spin at a constant speed, reducing the risk of wow and flutter. In addition, it has a high-torque motor, making it easier for the turntable to spin rapidly, and a rubberized mat to minimize vibrations. Other notable features include a start/stop button, a pitch control function, and a reverse play function.The SL-1210 mk2's legacy lies in its ability to respond instantly to vinyl records and its durability, as it is known for lasting decades. Many famous DJs have used it in their sets, including Grandmaster Flash, Jimi Hendrix, and David Bowie. This turntable's success has also led to the production of subsequent versions, such as the SL-1200 series, which continues to be widely used by DJs today.
