ConnectivityRCA output

The SL-1200 MK7 in grey is, in essence, the same coreless direct-drive platform as the SL-1210 MK7 in this catalog, «1200» is traditionally the hi-fi-oriented naming and «1210» the DJ-oriented one, though they're technically near-identical platforms. This grey variant offers the same Technics engineering in a finish different from the usual black.

With 41 reviews and a 4.8/5 average, it has real backing. We need to be honest here: the price this Amazon.nl listing currently shows is far below what a Technics 1200/1210 MK7 actually costs (several times lower), so we'd rather leave it without a confirmed figure, a grey special-edition price shouldn't be cheaper than the standard version.

What's good

  • 41 reviews at 4.8/5, real and consistent backing
  • Same coreless direct-drive platform as the SL-1210 MK7
  • Grey finish, different from the series' usual black
  • Technics' benchmark engineering in the DJ world

What could be better

  • The price currently shown on Amazon.nl isn't reliable, check before buying
  • No cartridge included, as usual for this series
  • At 10 kg, built for a fixed install

Best for: Anyone who wants the Technics 1200/1210 MK7 platform with a finish different from the usual black.

What buyers say

41 reviews at 4.8/5, real backing. Amazon.nl doesn't currently show a reliable price for this product, so we'd rather leave it blank than show you a number you can't trust. Use the button to check the current price on Amazon.

No se le puede pedir más a un plato, es caro pero no defrauda

Was soll man groß schreiben...der Plattenspieler ist gebaut wie ein Panzer, sehr gut einstellbarer Tonarm, sehr ruhiger Lauf des Plattentellers. Einzig der Tonarmlift-Hebel fällt haptisch etwas ab wird aber bestimmt auch lange halten. Toll, daß Technics auch noch immer die Haube dazu mitliefert.

Not ready to play with no stylus. Throw in at least a mediocre needle to get it up and running.
