The Technics SL-30 is a classic turntable model that was first introduced in the mid-1970s by the Japanese electronics company, Panasonic (now known as Panasonic Corporation).

The SL-30 also incorporated a DC servo control system, which helped to eliminate speed, tracking, and wow and flutter errors, enhancing overall sound quality and accuracy.The Technics SL-30 became widely popular, and its popularity continued with the SL-3000 line's introduction. The SL-3000 was a high-end turntable upgrade, which was still produced for several decades after its launch. The Technics SL-30 series helped establish the brand's reputation and legacy of producing top-notch audiophile equipment.Today, the SL-30 and other Technics turntables from the early and mid-70s and 80s continue to be sought-after by vinyl enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
