SP-10 (1970)
The World’s First Direct-drive Turntable
The SP-10 was the world’s first direct-drive turntable and created a new era in audio. It eliminated the vibration and rotation irregularity caused by the previous belt-drive method, and was delivered to broadcast stations even though it was designed as a consumer product.

Technics 7 (1975)
Proving Technics’ Linear Phase Theory
This speaker system demonstrated the validity of Technics’ unique linear phase theory. With flat phase characteristics both theoretically and as measured, the Technics 7 (SB-7000) greatly influenced later speakers as the world’s first linear-phase speaker.

SE-A1 / SU-A2 (1977)
The Challenge of Faithful Original Sound Reproduction
The SE-A1 and SU-A2 were developed using advanced technologies to achieve Hi-Fi audio’s ultimate goal: faithfully reproducing original sound. Featuring innovations like the SE-A1’s A+ Class operation, these amplifiers deliver exceptional audio performance.

SL-1200MK2 (1979)
The First Standard Turntable in the Disco Club Scene
The SL-1200MK2 is the first standard machine in the disco club scene. The original SL-1200’s quartz lock enabled even more precise rotation control, and with the arrival of the SL-1200MK2, the turntable evolved from a “player” that plays records to an “instrument” that plays records.

SL-P10 (1982)
A Forerunner of the Digital Age
The SL-P10 was Technics’ first CD player, integrating high-reliability mechanisms and advanced operability. Error correction of the digital signal circuitry employed a unique Technics super-decoding algorithm system, which achieved phenomenal performance with an interpolation probability of 1/90 million hours.
