The Technics SL-1200GME Master Edition is a limited-production flagship turntable that marks the final evolution of the iconic SL-1200G series
The culmination of a legend.
Commemorating Technics' 60th anniversary and continuing the legacy of precision. The final version of the beloved SL-1200G / 1210G series has been transformed into a Master Edition, incorporating all the innovations from the last decade of Technics’ expertise — from the new delta-sigma drive system, to the latest multi-stage silent power supply.
This limited version represents the pinnacle of the SL-1200 series, featuring a special gold design and available worldwide in Silver: 1,200 units / Black: 1,210 units—each a standout in the SL-1200 legacy.
Due to the discontinuation of certain externally sourced components, Technics will unfortunately end production of the SL-1200/1210G model. This GME model is the final version of the SL-1200G. Other SL-1200 models, including the SL-1200/1210GR2 and SL-1200/1210MK7, will continue to be produced.
