This turntable package includes a pair of the new Technics SL 1210 MK7s and the Allen & Heath XONE:43 DJ Mixer.

Allen & Heath XONE:43C DJ Mixer
The Xone:43C is a 4+1 channel mixer, offering a simple and intuitive layout with sublime analogue audio quality. The mixer is equipped with the legendary Xone filter, 3 band EQ, plus X:FX, giving a single control per channel over the send/return to work with external FX units.

Technics SL 1210 MK7
The Technics SL 1210 MK7 turntable maintains the classic look and layout whilst featuring an all new chassis, tonearm and motor as well as the electronics and more. Technics have designed an all new motor to be even more stable, smoother and more reliable. The SL-1210 Mk7 uses a new coreless direct drive motor that still has high torque and smooth rotation while the digital pitch control and new circuitry offer precise adjustment.

A whole new level of micro computer, circuitry and all round wizardry has been developed to keep the motor running smoothly and accurately. Although the pitch fader is now digital (purists prefer analogue) it has been created to operate just like an analogue pitch. A bit like driving a manual car but still having a computer in the background helping things along.

The new tone arm is made of a lightweight but rigid aluminium to ensure the best sound reproduction and stability when scratching. The base of the arm is height adjustable with the usual settings for anti-skate and cartridge weight. All still with a solid build and acoustically isolated to minimise feedback and reverberation.

SL-1210 Mk7 also features a new chassis design with the base made from an ABS compound for audio and vibration isolation as well as the metal body to give the same solid build and feel we are all used to.

New isolator feet are made with new rubber compound and springs also go towards eliminating feedback and improving isolation. The pitch range is switchable between 8% and 16% at the press of a button. The pitch can also be reset to zero at the press of a button to instantly knock the speed back to ‘normal’.

Talking of speed, the SL-1210 Mk7 has a third speed setting (which they kind of always had anyway) but pressing the 33 and 45 RPM buttons together you get a 78RPM setting as well. Makes sense when you think about it.. 33+45 = 78, quick math.
