Technics SL-1100

Direct-Drive Turntable (1975-1977)

Fitted with EPA-110 tonearm, or available with no tonearm as the SL-110

The SL-1100 turntable provides that incomparable professional Technics quality in a reasonably priced package.

The heart of this outstanding direct drive turntable is its DC brushless motor which drives the platter directly to eliminate belts, pulleys and idlers.

This simple design means fewer moving parts to wear out and greater long term reliability.

The motor of the SL1100 is controlled electronically by a DC servo which provides highly accurate rotation completely unaffected by power line frequency and voltage variations.

And due to its high torque, speed remains the same even during changes of external drag.

This combination produces wow and flutter of just 0.03% WRMS and rumble of better than -70dB.

The SL-1100AC variant is identical but features an illuminated stroboscope.
