A Brief History of Technics Hifi

A Brief History of Technics Hifi

Technics was a brand of hi-fi audio equipment that was produced by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. The company was founded in Japan in 1965 and ceased production in 2010. Over the years, Technics has produced some of the most popular hi-fi audio equipment on the market. In this blog post, we will take a look at the history of Technics hi-fi and explore some of the most popular products that they have released over the years!

 

A Short History

Technics is an iconic brand name that has come to represent premium loudspeakers and turntables in particular. The company introduced its first product, the Techniscope LGP-series of stereo systems for domestic use back when Matsushita marketed them at about 1965; this was followed soon after with the SP-10 (the first direct drive professional model), then the SL 1100 which became very popular among influential DJs like Kool Herc because it had high durability while also incorporating pitch control or speed'.

The company's products began to really take off in the 1970s with the introduction of their now-famous SL-1200 series turntables. These turntables were designed for professional use and quickly became the industry standard for DJs around the world. The SL-1200 series remained in production until 2010 when Technics discontinued the line.

Technics SL-P10

The SL-P10 is an unusual first-generation CD player that was produced by Technics in 1983, close on the heels of Sony's CDP-101. I had this unit when it came out because my favorite color at age 16 was blue and they were all black or gray - but then again with only one exception: The Hitachi DA1000 which lacked remote control!

The SL-P1200 was an outmoded top-loading CD spinner with pitch control and jog wheel for accurate cueing. The 1200, like its turntable parent model number (and indeed feet!), were ‘pro’ design meant to be used in nightclubs; it's no wonder then that this particular unit became so popular among professionals who needed durable equipment suitable enough at any stage during their performance

TECHNICS SL-M3 Turntable

Techincally, the Technics SL-M3 is a classic. With all of its technical specs and impressive reputation for quality, it's no wonder that this turntable has been around since 1986! The one thing people love about their old school direct drive models like ours? They don't need any fancy features to sound good - just pure analog goodness with rock-solid quartz phase-locked speed control.
