Technics SL-1500CS debuts in March 2026 as an affordable evolution of the award-winning SL-1500C, expanding Delta Sigma (ΔΣ) Drive technology into lower-priced turntables.
The SL-1500CS uses a coreless direct-drive motor with single rotor and stator, combining ΔΣ-Drive digital control to minimize cogging and reduce motor vibrations to near-measurable limits.
Lightweight platter designs particularly benefit from ΔΣ-Drive vibration suppression, allowing the SL-1500CS to deliver sound quality exceeding typical expectations for its price class.
