Technics DJ equipment or more specifically Technics turntables are the most widely used DJ equipment among DJs.

Welcome to another DJ equipment review by yours truly. This time I'll be exploring the Technics brand and hopefully you will come away with a good sense of why Technics has set the standard for turntables and DJ equipment.

Technics has a legacy that stretches back over 30 years. Technics turntables were the standard in discos, clubs and radio stations around the world. Now with the competition so tight the ground is closing fast.

Technics makes digital pianos, synthesizers, stereo systems and more. In fact my father still has his 1971 Technics stereo tube amp/receiver with knobs no less. But Technics DJ equipment set off a revolution they could not stop.

This is just a side bar but I remember hearing about a study on American car stereos. As a result of the study it was discovered that Americans who drive prefer knobs over buttons because it was easier find while driving, hence my reference to the knob thing.

Technics turntables set the standard. They come in 3 models. I use the world famous Technics SL-1200MK2 Turntable Silver . The other models include the Technics SL-1210MK2 Turntable Black , and the 30th anniversary edition Technics 1210MK5 pictured below.

There is not a heck of a whole lot of difference in the models. Except color and extended functions.

The Technics 1210 models come with wider pitch control and the 30th anniversary edition comes with blue LED's. They're all made from the same mold and die cast medal.

The 1210MK2 model is now the preferred choice of professional DJ world wide. Of all the DJ equipment on the market you can rest assured Technics DJ equipment is the best.

If you've ever been to a club, party, wedding or any function that had a DJ set up then you've probably seen the Technics DJ equipment. They are truly one of a kind.

There not much more to add because these turntables really stand on their own. Their long history and legendary performance makes them the best DJ turntables second to none.

Not only does Technics make turntables but it only makes sense to add the magic to the performance with their SH-EX1200 mixer. I have yet to see one at my local pro DJ equipment shop.

Technics DJ equipment usually is no that hard to come by. They say they rarely carry that particular mixer. Go figure. But that doesn't mean you can't get one online. Good luck. Let me know if you find one in the U.S.

Technics makes a DJ cartridge for their turntables also. It's called the EPC-U1200 which is made for the Technics SL 1200 turntables series. It features low stylus pressure for vinyl preservation, stylus guard backlight florescent tip and easy screw mount.

It's the first design of a DJ cartridge by Technics in several years. Glad to see they're back in the groove. No pun intended.

Technics headphones are solid as they come. The RP-DJ1200s are their flagship headphones.

Read my guide on DJ headphones. The Technics RP-DJ1200 meets all the criteria for great headphones that won't fall apart on you from design to construction.

Technics DJ equipment has stood the test of time and it still seems as if the other manufacturers of DJ equipment are trying to play catch up. It's good to be the king.
