It soon found its way into discos as well as radio stations for airplay because of its vibration damping ability and resistance to feedback, and eventually it became popular with pioneering hip-hop DJs. It was dubbed as 'The Middle Class Quartz Direct Drive'. It represented a culmination of Technics Turntable Innovations. The SL-1200 Mark 2 was introduced in 1979 as an update to the SL-1200.
Weight MK2: 11 kg (net, unboxed without lid). S-shaped tone arm: No longer popular on high end hi-fi turntables. High reliability: many examples of SL-1200s lasting well over 15 years of heavy use and withstanding physical shock without functional impairment. Option to select -16% to +16% added (M5G/MK5G/GLD, GAE/G/GR & MK7). Variable pitch control, allowing the rotational speed to be adjusted from -8% to +8% (for the purpose of beatmatching). Heavy base (2.5 kg), and increased isolation of platter from base, reduced the likelihood of feedback or stylus jumping. Low wow and flutter (0.01%), implying that the platter stays within 1/100 of 1% of the desired speed. m), which means the platter spins at the desired speed almost immediately (0.7 seconds to reach 33 ¹⁄₃ RPM from standstill), and rapidly reacquires the desired speed, without 'overshooting', if the platter is dragged or nudged. Magnetic (no wear), direct drive (low slip) mechanism.
