Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieving Stable Rotation

The high-quality sound realized by the exceptional S/N ratio and high rotation accuracy of the direct drive system employed in Technics turntable products has captivated the hearts of audiophiles all over the world. The SL-1500C inherits the same high-quality sound found in Technics' high-end turntable models. It uses a single-rotor, coreless direct drive motor in which the stator has no core and eliminates the rotation irregularity called cogging. In this motor, the magnetic force of the rotor magnets was improved to the highest possible level, and the gap between the coreless stator and rotor magnets was optimised thus achieving high torque performance equalling that of the SL-1200MK5 while eliminating cogging. Furthermore, the motor control was optimised in accordance with the platter weight. As a result, the SL-1500C has realized high rotation accuracy and high performance, and eliminated the need for parts replacement and maintenance. Another advantage of the direct drive system is its long-lasting, high reliability.

High Accuracy Motor Control

In the direct drive system, the motor is connected directly to the platter so that the motor rotation speed becomes the rotation speed of the phono record. Therefore it is extremely important to control the drive motor's rotation speed to ensure stability. The SL-1500C utilizes the latest motor control technology refined through the development of Blu-ray disc products. Furthermore, the FG coil pattern of the full-circumference detection FG system was improved in precision to achieve more detailed measurement of platter rotation speed.
