It has been 50 years since the initial launch of the Technics SL-1200 in 1972. The SL-1200 has become a standard for DJs and vinyl record enthusiasts ever since. To celebrate this milestone, Technics has unveiled six variants of the SL-1200M7L, of which only 12,000 will be made. Seven colors are available to choose from: blue, red, white, green, yellow, beige, and black. These limited edition decks are expected to ship June 2022 and pre-orders are now open at Technics and select retailers.
The 50th anniversary units come with a gold anodized tonearm, a top panel with an engraved serial number, gold-colored Technics logo slipmat, and a 50th anniversary sticker.
