Technics, known for its audio expertise, has revealed a thrilling collaboration with the prestigious Italian sports car manufacturer, Automobili Lamborghini. The result? The unveiling of the Technics SL-1200M7B turntable, a special edition set to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike. Drawing inspiration from Lamborghini's iconic designs and Technics' legendary turntable technology, this partnership promises a fusion of innovation and style.

The SL-1200M7B is an evolution of Technics' celebrated SL-1200MK7/SL-1210MK7 DJ models, boasting enhancements that reflect Lamborghini's distinctive flair. Central to its design is the influence of Lamborghini's renowned Y-shape, evident in the turntable's striking plinth pattern.

Available in three iconic Lamborghini colors—Arancio Apodis, Verde Shock, and Giallo Athon—the Technics SL-1200M7B pays homage to the brand's most revered liveries.

However, the collaboration extends beyond aesthetics. Purchasers of the Technics SL-1200M7B will be treated to exclusive collectibles, including special edition slipmats and stickers. The pièce de résistance? A picture disc vinyl featuring the captivating engine and driving sounds of six Lamborghini super sports cars, from the classic 400GT 2+2 to the cutting-edge Revuelto.

Technological prowess meets audio excellence in the SL-1200M7B. Its coreless direct drive motor ensures stable rotation, free from cogging, while delivering powerful torque. The turntable's highly sensitive tonearm faithfully traces the intricacies of vinyl grooves, promising an exceptional listening experience. 

With a two-layer platter structure and a rigid cabinet equipped with damping insulators, vibrations are minimized, which should provide pristine sound quality even in demanding conditions.

Functionality is paramount, catering to both audiophiles and DJs. Adjustable starting torque and braking speed, along with pitch control and reverse play functions, offer flexibility and precision. Additionally, a stylus illuminator featuring a long-life LED ensures optimal visibility in various environments.
