TECHNICS SL-50CPK | Direct Drive Turntable | W/ Ortofon 2m Red Cartridge | Black

SL-50C PK

Direct Drive Turntable with Phono Preamplifier - Black

Timeless Sound. Today’s Style. Built on Technics’ legacy of coreless direct drive, this new series blends trusted sound with a compact, elegant design. 

The SL-50C maintains the classic Technics turntable characteristics, such as the iron-coreless direct drive motor and the high-precision S-shaped aluminum tonearm, while evolving in a new, sleek design and useability to meet the expectations of today’s vinyl enthusiasts. Aimed at both newcomers and those upgrading from entry-level set ups, the turntable integrates seamlessly into stylish modern interiors, offering high quality performance, simplicity and elegance.

Natural texture

Crafted from MDF, a wood-based material with fine layered fibers, offering quiet warmth and subtle presence — bringing harmony to any living space.

Access more records

Supports 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm for access to a wider range of records.

Optimized for instant vinyl playback

With the included cartridge and built-in phono amplifier precisely matched for optimal performance, simply connect to active speakers or an amplifier and passive speakers — and confidently enjoy vinyl playback immediately.

Driven by the Technics legacy

For decades, Technics’ direct drive has delivered accurate, maintenance-free rotation. This mechanism, which directly spins the platter with strong torque, has evolved to offer even greater precision with a coreless motor that eliminates cogging.

Tonearm

While minimizing the tonearm base size, the design inherits the traditional S-shape and ensures high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering 

Cartridge

The included 2M Red cartridge features a elliptical stylus that delivers clear sound, precisely matched with the built-in phono EQ for optimal performance. 

Platter

Rigid rotation and precise torque control are achieved by a 1.26kg die-cast aluminum platter with reinforced ribs and a directly mounted motor magnet. 

Insulator

Excellent vibration resistance and reduced howling are achieved by newly tuned insulators. It’s rubber hardness is optimized to shift resonance outside the audible range.

Intelligence Behind the Spin

• Digital Control
  • Digital control elevates rotation accuracy to the highest level through (1) precise speed detection, (2) Per-unit calibration during production, and (3) digitally optimized motor drive signals.
• Circuit Layout
  • Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring. This minimizes distortion of sound.
• PHONO Circuit
  • The built-in MM phono equalizer, optimally tuned to the included cartridge, along with the premium components and case, delivers clear sound with minimal noise.
