Technics' classic SL-1200 turntable is getting a 55th anniversary edition — and the big upgrade is 'lots of gold'
The Technics SL-1200 is getting a 55th anniversary edition, with lots of gold being the main change over the base model.
Technics is celebrating 55 years of its popular SL-1200 turntable with an anniversary edition set to launch in September. The new model, which debuts just days after the one-year anniversary of the previous SL-1200 Master Edition, is packed with gold detailing. This includes gold-plated tonearm bases, knobs, buttons, rims, and a gold slip mat.
The color options range from gold to blue, black, white, red, green, and gray, providing a variety of options for birthday celebrations. Despite the emphasis on gold, the SL-1200 55th Anniversary Edition retains the manual design of its predecessor, complete with an aluminum platter, LED stylus illuminator, and phono output.
