PANASONIC TO DISCONTINUE TECHNICS 1200S TURNTABLES
According to Pocket-lint, production of Technics dj grade turntables, the SL-1200 and SL-1210 models will discontinue after February 2010. Although, its common practice these days to use cd-j’s and mp3 formatted music as the medium, the iconic tools of the trade are still an industry standard in the booth. As quoted by Ian North, spokesperson for Panasonic:
“It is a sad day today but due to low sales globally in analogue turntables a decision to stop production has been made on Technics Turntables. For Australia this means we will receive our last shipment in March”.
Even with this bit of gloomy news, most beginners usually end up picking up someone’s used setup on craigslist. But in the grand scheme of things, this is something to mourn about.
