Addendum
SL-1200 History
It’s the 1970’s and Technics embarks on an ambitious plan to de-
velop a state of the art turntable system for mastering discrete CD-4
quadraphonic records. The SP-02 disc cutting turntable, in use to
this day for mastering audiophile lacquers. For playback, the SP-10,
15 and 25 turntables were developed, employing for the first time, a
linear frequency generator to monitor and control platter speed. It is
this drive and control system that eliminated, for the first time, the
effects of both static and dynamic stylus drag on speed stability. A
problem belt drive engineers all but gave up on solving affordably,
years ago.
Material science played an important role also with the first applica-
tions of non resonant body designs utilizing constrained layering of
cast metals, engineering resins and heavy rubber resulting in a rigid
turntable body incapable of sustaining resonance.
The current 1200 series is the step child of the SP series and em-
bodies every bit of that technology and engineering science. The
world standard for professional club use, that good fortune has al-
lowed the SL-1200 to remain the most affordable hi end turntable
available today.

Installation
Parts Included:
• Triad WAU240-500T 24VAC Power Source
• KAB PS-1200GXL DC Power Conditioner
• DC-1200 Regulator Board and DC Cable
• SX-1200 Strobe On Off Switch.
Making Connections
Make the following connections in order:
1. Connect the DC cable to the DC-1200 terminal board. Striped lead to
terminal EX and remaining lead to the terminal G.
2. Connect the output of the Triad transformer source to the PWR IN on
the PS-1200GXL.
3. Plug Your SL-1200 AC power cord into the Sense Socket on the back
of the PS-1200GXL
4. Plug the DC cable into the PWR OUT jack on the PS1200GXL
5. Set turntable power OFF and power button on PS-1200GXL OUT.
6. Plug the Triad power source into an AC outlet.
Using Your New Power Supply
You can power up using the original power switch on your 1200 or us-
ing the pushbutton on the PS-1200GXL. The pushbutton overrides the
1200’s power switch.
The Triad power transformer can remain powered up at all times as it
consumes less than 0.21 watt with the turntable powered off.
There are no transformers inside the PS-1200GX control box, so you
can place it anywhere, even right next to the turntable.
