Brand: Technics

The Technics SL-1401 is a high-end turntable model that was introduced by Panasonic (formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.) in the late 1970s. It was part of the renowned Technics SL series of turntables that revolutionized the audio industry during that era.The SL-1401 featured a unique direct drive system that utilized an advanced DC servo motor for precise speed control, eliminating the need for a belt to transmit rotational energy from the motor to the turntable's platter. This direct drive mechanism enabled the platter to spin at a constant speed, reducing wow and flutter, and providing excellent tracking abilities.The turntable also featured a quartz-controlled oscillator (QCO), which ensured greater speed accuracy compared to conventional capacitor-based oscillators. This feature, coupled with the advanced rubber slip mat, made the SL-1401 one of the most popular turntables among audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts.With its sleek design, high-quality build, and advanced technology, the Technics SL-1401 effectively set a new benchmark in the turntable industry. Its legacy continues to live on, as vintage SL-1401 models remain sought after and continue to command premium prices in the pre-owned turntable market.
