Everything about the Technics SL-1300G turntable screams minimalism, with the focus placed squarely upon vibration damping, noise reduction, and motor performance so you can get the most out of your vinyl collection.

Minimalism describes the SL-1300G's aesthetic, but it's all business. Its chassis is built in multiple layers, and it's built like a tank, helping to ward off any unwanted vibrations. The platter is constructed in similar fashion, with layers of rubber, brass, and aluminum that take care of any remaining vibrations that make it that far. The turntable's feet provide a third layer of vibration damping, and the result is more accurate playback and crystal-clear sound.
Technics employs its Delta Sigma Drive technology to assert pinpoint control over the SL-1300G's coreless direct-drive motor, doing so by making precise adjustments to the voltage and current sent to the motor. This precision further minimizes vibration, plus keeps noise and wasted energy to a minimum.
The aluminum tonearm is S-shaped, and stays perfectly in place thanks to its gimbal assembly. The SL-1300G comes equipped with a universal headshell but no cartridge, so it's ready for you to install your favorite one.
