Technics has announced the release of four high-end audio products.
The SL-G700E audio player, the SB-C700AEB-W speaker system and the SU-C700EG-S stereo integrated amplifier will all be available from selected Technics audio specialist retailers this July. The SL-1000RE-S Reference-Class Turntable (pictured above) is available for special order now.
The direct drive turntable system features a 12-pole 18-coil double coil twin rotor-type coreless motor, rotation support for LP, EP or SP, as well as customisable rotation speed down to two decimal places.
A deadening rubber, three-layer turntable platter, two-layer housing, and microcell polymer reinforcement all serve to minimise vibration and provide pristine sound quality.
Panasonic product marketing manager for audio and video, Aaron Waters said, “The SL-1000RE-S turntable has a loyal following with audiophiles worldwide, and we’ve already received local enquiries from enthusiasts keen to experience this impressively-engineered model.”
The SL-G700E (pictured above) is equipped with an MQA decoder, DSD native playback, a dedicated SACD mode, as well as compatibility with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2, streaming services including Spotify, as well as Google Chromecast and the Google Assistant.
The audio player also features high-res remaster, which expands the bandwidth and bit depth of existing audio and was awarded the Stereonet Product of the Year ‘Best CD Player’ of 2020.
The SB-C700AEB-W (pictured above) bookshelf speaker’s parabolic design helps suppress unwanted noise, while the flat coaxial two-way speaker drive unit combines a tweeter and a woofer, covering all frequencies of sound.
The SU-C700EG-S amplifier (pictured above) features a jitter-reduction circuit, and supports SPDIF, Analog, Phono, and USB-DAC inputs, while its’ digital input terminal supports co-axial 192-kHz/24-bit PCM and optical 96-kHz/24-bit.
“I’m thrilled to be expanding our range and introducing these Technics components,” Waters continued.
“They are designed for absolute harmony in terms of pure, accurate sound as well as looking stylish together and can be paired with a companion turntable to deliver perfectly matched and calibrated audio.”
These top-range audio products come with a matching price point with the SL-G700E retailing for RRP $4,949, the SU-C700AEB-W for RRP $3,099, and the SU-C700EG-S for RRP $2,739. The SL-1000RE-S turntable is available for RRP $32,999.
