Technics' SL-1500C is a coreless direct-drive turntable with a built-in MM phono preamp that can be bypassed via a rear switch — effectively two separate RCA outputs in one turntable. The deck ships with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge pre-mounted, a detachable phono-style cable, and a dedicated earth wire for the grounding post. Mains power uses a detachable 3-pin IEC C14 inlet with worldwide 100–240V tolerance, which makes replacement cords universal. Dedicated power supplies separate the phono and line stages to keep the signal paths clean.
Coreless direct-drive turntable with switchable MM phono/line RCA outputs, ground post, and IEC C14 mains inlet.
