Unlike belt drive and other systems, direct drive systems rotate the motor at low speed and directly drive the platter, thus providing numerous advantages, such as the almost complete absence of degradation in S\/N ratio due to motor vibration and deceleration mechanisms, as well as high reliability over a long period time because of not requiring parts replacement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd in 2016, Technics developed the twin-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct drive motor with rotor magnets placed on both sides, thereby eliminating the rotation irregularity of the motor, referred to as \"cogging,\" which was a unique issue for direct drive systems. This motor was adopted for the SL-1200G, which once again drew a significant response in the hi-fi market. The SL-1200GR2 inherits the same design philosophy with the new development of a single-rotor, surface-facing, coreless direct drive motor, resulting in the elimination of cogging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"contents-title__title heading-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Stage Silent Power Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"contents-block__subtitle subtitle-1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Noise Switching Circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contents-block__body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contents-block__body__body typ-body-1\"\u003eUse of a high-speed switching power supply ensures a stable supply capacity and less ripple and humming.
