Premium Class turntable with easy connectivity and authentic sound
The SL-1500C offers functionality, usability, and a host of exceptional features for vinyl lovers. The pre-mounted cartridge and built-in phono pre-amplifier ensure extremely easy setup, while the automatic tonearm lift ensures your precious LPs remain in tip-top condition.

Timeless design and legendary sound from Technics
The SL-1500C features a minimalist, timeless design, yet retains the classic feel that distinguishes Technics products.

Outwardly iconic, it combines high-quality materials, precise construction, and expert craftsmanship to create the perfect centerpiece for the modern music lover.

Quick and easy connection to various components thanks to the built-in phono pre-amplifier and cartridge
The SL-1500C is a complete turntable solution. It features a built-in phono equalizer and cartridge.

There's no need to prepare them separately, so you can connect a wide range of audio equipment and instantly listen to analog records.

Precise and stable synchronization and powerful driving torque to prevent vibration
In 1970, Technics revolutionized the turntable industry with the world's first direct-drive system. Unlike conventional belt-drive systems, our direct-drive system minimizes motor-induced vibration, ensuring an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and long-term reliability without the need for frequent component replacement.

As a key component for preventing vibration, the SL-1500C's chassis is similar in structure to that of high-end turntables. The result is music reproduction with its full beauty and authenticity.

Automatic tonearm lift function to prevent wear on the discs and cartridge
When the tonearm reaches the end of the record, the Auto Lifter function automatically raises the cartridge. This prevents unnecessary wear and tear on your valuable vinyl and stylus.

By incorporating the Auto Lifter function into the base of the tonearm, direct impacts to the tonearm are eliminated. Thanks to a simple design, the functions required for record playback have been minimized, resulting in instant operation.

High quality Ortofon 2M RED cartridge
Ortofon's acclaimed moving magnet cartridge has been selected to ensure high fidelity and more dynamic reproduction.

The combination of this high-quality cartridge with the performance of the SL-1500C will maximize the sound quality of your vinyl records, offering you a pleasurable listening experience.
