The revival of the SP-10 Series establishes a new reference point for the modern high-fidelity turntable. For the SP-10RE-S, Technics has brought all of its newest material and engineering learnings into suppressing motor vibration, providing a heavy platter, having a separate control unit, and offering minute adjustment of rotational speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCoreless Direct Drive\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional motors have an iron core that spins in a magnetic field, and as each arm of the core hits the nearest magnetic field, it accelerates slightly and then slows down as it leaves. This results in a jerky rotation that's known as cogging. Iron cores are an older solution, and a coreless motor eliminates this by supporting the coils in a non-magnetic structure that offers silky smooth and eevn rotation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will instantly hear this in \"decays\", for example when a piano note is struck and allowed to resonate, a speed stable turntable will not exhibit wow and flutter as that note fades away. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnics also uses a twin-rotor construction that reduces the bearing load while maintaining high torque, and this overall lower stress reduces minute vibrations during rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor in the SP10RE was developed for the SL-1200G launched in 2016, and further improved. This double coil twin rotor-type coreless motorhad coils on both sides for 12-pole, 18-coil drive, with high enough torque to drive a very heavy platter. Offsetting the coils on both sides 60 degrees improved the rigidity of the substrate, suppressing fine vibrations and reducing self-inductance. These improvements achieved stable rotation of 0.015% wow and flutter or less, which is considered to be the measurement limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTungsten Platter Weights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turntable platter uses tungsten weights on the periphery of a 10 mm thick brass weight. The brass weight is laminated onto the aluminum die-cast, giving the platter a total weight of approximately 17.4 lb. A deadening rubber for eliminating unwanted vibration is also attached to the rear surface to form a three-layer construction and achieve high rigidity and excellent vibration-damping characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSeparate Control Unit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control unit is separated from the main unit to suppress the effects of unwanted noise on the main unit. In order to achieve a power supply circuit that provides good regulation for high torque, a switching power supply is used. To reduce the noise reaching the pickup, the switching power supply is equipped with a unique technology that provides a voltage supply with minimal noise by a newly developed \"unwanted noise reduction circuit\". Also, to minimize the noise even during communication, a highly reliable system that resists the effects of external noise is used for communication between the main unit and the control unit. These thorough noise-reduction measures achieve the world's highest-level S\/N.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMinute Adjustments\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis turntable supports not only LP (33 1\/3 rpm) and EP (45 rpm) analog records, but also SP (78 rpm). Rotation can also be set to two decimal places from the control unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (WHD)\u003cbr\u003eTable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-3\/8\" × 4-5\/16\" × 14-3\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-11\/32\" × 3-5\/16\" × 13-25\/32\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.2 lb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.7 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Technics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48363817828536,"sku":"SP-10RE-S","price":14199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/ShopifySP-10R_ES__1_3000x_jpg.webp?v=1741629754","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/technics-sp-10re-s-reference-direct-drive-turntable","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
