The SL-1200MK5, which features an anti-resonant die-cast aluminum chassis, grants non-“click” pitch control for smooth-sliding, quartz-locked, continuously variable pitch adjustment +/-8 and +/-16 percent. This is crucial for matching dance-music tempos and convenient for correcting the pitch on poorly mastered records.
And, it’s a simple matter to set the breaking speed to suit your style. After removing the slip mat, all it takes is a few twists of a screwdriver to go from a slow winding down to an instant halt, or anywhere in between.
Pitch reset instantly resets pitch to zero at the touch of a button, and the unit’s recessed power switch helps avoid accidental turn off. The MK5’s LED stylus light lasts longer than those of earlier models. Attached stereo analog (left/right) RCA outputs facilitate hookup with outboard phono amplifiers and phono inputs on integrated amps.
