Technics SP-10RE-S Reference Direct Drive Turntable

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 focused on suppressing motor vibration, providing a heavy platter, having a separate control unit, and offering minute adjustment of rotational speed.

The motor that forms the heart of the direct drive turntable is based on the coreless direct drive motor that was developed for the SL-1200G launched in 2016, and further improved. The double coil twin rotor-type coreless direct drive motor that was newly developed for this purpose had coils on both sides for 12-pole, 18-coil drive, with high enough torque to drive the 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.

Tungsten Platter Weights

The 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.

Separate Control Unit

The 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.

Minute Adjustments

This 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.
