Legendary direct drive motor

For decades, Technics turntables have been powered by their innovative direct drive motor. Feature a coreless design, this powerful motor delivers strong torque directly to the platter. Accurate and maintenance-free, this design is the beating heart of the Technics philosophy and responsible for the authoritative sound of their turntables. Digital control and digitally optimised motor drive signals ensure speed precision.

Ortofon 2M Red cartridge pre-installed

You’ll be ready to listen to your favourite records right away thanks to the superb Ortofon 2M Red cartridge that is pre-installed on the Technics SL-50C. This cartridge features an elliptical stylus for precision and is matched perfectly to the built-in phono preamplifier.

Creative Audio Pro Tips

  • Always make sure you place the Technics SL-50C on a flat, level surface. For best results do not place it on top of your amplifier.

  • While the music will sound great from the very first play, it will sound even better after 50-75 hours of use, when the cartridge has broken in.
