New Technics SL-1200MK7R Demonstration & Review 

I just wanna say the collection behind u is very impressive. Id spend all day sampling back there 😄

Thank you for your help, Ive now setup my first turntable at the age 31. Its never too late to learn something new friends.

That 78 function was awesome! Ive overlooked a lot of 78s while digging in the past

Fantastico, finalmente Technics ha rimesso in commercio il suo piatto più famoso, una gioia per i Fan.

Review, walk through and skillz on point.

This was a marvelous DEMO as always! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Big up for this! Great review. Special props for the “junglist massive” quote 🤣🙌🏻

They have the best accurate digital pitch fader 🎚 out there , and the sound quality using vinyl only it’s excellent.

thanks for that, more content please!

what an awesome demo. got myselfe one of these (no money yet for all the rest hahaha) you really inspire me, i hope i'm in the game soon myself!

Hi Please can you advise me about headshells & needles for scratching and beat juggling.. do DJs use ortofon concorde scratch???? If not what should I buy in 2020

Nice and simple review. Still not sure if buying an old 1200 or mk7 thought. Is the pich problem only resolved because of this special Red Bull edition. I really don't know.

Hi ScratchBastid, I have a question. With the new MK7R, is there no longer a deadspot at the pitch between 7% -8%? I own two 1210 MK7s myself since Release in 2019. It doesn't really bother me, I love my MK7 :D just looks like the problem no longer exists with yours? Or have you already reached the 8% with Serato with the pitch at 7%? I would be very happy about an answer from you ;) Greetings from Germany

I'm on the fence on whether to pick up a MK7 or a Rane 12 MK2...any thoughts here?

Respect for vinyl colection .Mk7 's pich control is great..

Which mixer is better Rane 70 or 72 MkII? I'm planning to buy Rane 12 MKII but I'm don't know which mixer ?

Would really like to know your experience with the resonance and feedback now you’ve had them longer? Also if you’ve found anymore issues! Thanks in advance

SB, SB, this was an absolute amazing demonstration of the MK7s so much so I looked at buying options($1000ea) uh..... Maybe since they have an event name on them and a different color tone arm it commands the price they are asking but, IMO it seems a bit overpriced for the "old tech" they are marketing. I bring up the price because as consumers we have more and more options out there and some produce near identical results with less upkeep/overhead. So outside of the obvious ability to play vinyl how do you think they stack up against the Rane series (I know it's more of a controller)? I am curious to know your thoughts on the performance and price point for each of the systems.

Still have my original 1200's i bought in 1988.. they are still running Strong with no problems.

Like to see the 1200's in silver.

I run two MK7s and a Seventy at home. Sure there are cheaper options but it's a great rig.

I would like to see u try on a toy controller like mixtrack pro 3 or smaller

Is this version better than the all black technic 1210 mk 7 ? And is pitch better for mixing than the oem turntables ?

I just copped the same needles they stick sooooo nice

Hey @ScratchBastid is the SL 1200MK7, SL 1210 mk7 & sl 1200 M7L the same thing in different colours 😅? Or is there performance differences

Dope!!

Just found your channel from a video posted a few years back showing an introduction to Time Coded Vinyl. Please tell me HOW YOU GOT ARTWORK ON YOUR VINYL!! If you could provide a link, that would be pretty cool.

the coreless motor design is actually something technics has had since 1979 they used it in most of their sl q series turntables like the q20 and q30 it was smaller than what's in the new 1200s but nonetheless a coreless design with a flat magnet just like the mk7.

Hi Scratch. I have had this video on my bookmarks bar for such a long time and I've been dying to ask you about the pitch. I've heard there's a fault on some, was that true or just on some early versions? How the hell do you distinguish between old versions and new ones? Is there some kind of batch number I should be looking out for?

I’ve noticed on a lot of dvs DJ videos you can hear the the Serato noise map/control tone under the music. Is this just on video or can you also hear it in person? I’ve never used dvs, still using vinyl. I’m thinking of getting Serato but if you can constantly hear that noise under all your tunes I’m not sure if I should go digital. I think it would get quite annoying!

HOW DID YOU GET THE ARTWORK ON THE RECORD???

How much torq does it have?

Do you have any issues with feedback/resonance on the mk7?

does anybody know what was the song from the Armstrong record

Can you do a vid on how to prevent dust, dealing with dust getting on the recoredsnd catching the needle. Dirty hands or clammy hands getting the records grubby. And will dust wreck the needle, how to clean the needles ect? That would be awesome.

Technics perfect❤️❤️❤️❤️

Master👏👏

I've only ever unboxed 1 new 1200 sometime in 2000, I've owned about a dozen over the years and should have kept some lol I've even been given a few when cdjs were really popular, I have a pair of geminis now and they work fine but they ain't the wheels of steel!

Great video mate. You need a lavier clip on mic!

Just got a loft find crusty crunked pair of 1210 mk2's at a steal of a price. So stoked. Gonna be some mad hours to get dem FFWWEEEESSSSHHHHH. Let's spin dis sht. I could go for mechancal perfection with a rat finish. Not sure yet. I am a digable rare groove pre skool junglist. 🙏❤️🙏

Skratch are they any good ?

what needles you using Thanks Great Video

I think you look a little bit like Bboy Menno :D One of the greatest ;)

So as the quality of the mk7 goes, can anyone answer if they are even worth buying? Or just stick to my mk2’s? Ty

Because you are using Serato I can hear the tone quite easily.

Big up the junglist massive

Thanks for sharing your view on this! i have a question for you, are they made in Japan like the old ones?

I'm 41 years old and have been DJing professionally since 1995 when I was 16 years old. At clubs in Center City Philadelphia, and at a clothing store at a shopping mall just outside Philadelphia. I ended up writing a couple sets of 16 for two dudes I was DJing for in the year 2000, ended up being good at it and the rest was the rest. Point being I always loved scratching, beat juggling and sampling with one memory bank on the mixer Etc. Long story short it disgusts me how ever since Serato, tractor, sync buttons in general, and controllers in general have come out everybody and their mother has now become a DJ. Believe me, I the sample Bank being invaluable like when you and your boy are getting down. One of y'all scratching the Doobie Brothers harmonica solo, and your boy cutting the beat to it. I do a lot of scratching and matching acapellas 2 Beats that don't go to the acapella. My question... Will I, can I ever stop being such a hater on these new technologies and the way they've changed turntablism forever. Try not to break my balls it's a real question, thanks peace✌

I like them but Stanton ST.150 w/the (s) curve tone arm has just the same. But the accessories are very nice.

Guys ... what is that beat / instrumental at the end, in the outro from 18:32 ???

Tô querendo comprar um par de techiniks como eu faço vc poderia mim informa uma loja de techiniks

Wish there was a 3style edition of this. But I guess Pioneer DJ has the rights to that 🤔

Aw you got the louie on 78? #jelly

i want to buy a dj setup but it is all so expensive, do you know a cheap but good starter setup?

You are always nice in what you do and you have soul. You should be in kick ass movie!!!!! A Hard Core One with The best !!!! I want your autograph how can I get that!!

WOT A FANNY

I'm so mad that Panasonic is pretending that they did not fix the dead spots at both ends of the pitch fader that all MK7s pre September 2020 have just in time for this Red Bull version. I have two units and while this isn't terrible when within 6-8% range, when using x2 the 12-16% is crammed between 6% and 7% on the fader which makes it really hard or just impossible to use.

Definitivamente usted es la Bestia Principal de esta jodienda tú eres un PRO mis Respeto a mi tócallo es un orgullo para mi que lleves mi nombre te quiero eres el mejor The magnífico💪💪👍⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️BEST CRIMINAL att:David J k-Rolina.

I’m sorry but the all black is so cheap, the silver buttons etc added a nice touch of quality.

DISCOWORM DJ WANTS TO SCRATCH ! NEEDLE ON THE RECORD. SAN FRAN,

There are ways to increase isolation on the mk7 without using different feet and it’s quite easy to do. Follow the Technics sl 1210 mk7 owners group on Facebook for like minded people.

This brother is an amazing DJ, and he’s definitely knowledgeable of DJ gear. But, I just wish that when he does these review videos, he would use the right microphone so his voice wouldn’t be so echoey

Like the torn arm color it look fresh n dope I probably get a pair I'm thinking about it but tecthnic is technic n trust them is not the wheel of steel anymore I heard they made out of plastic most truntable are made of plastic now n day what I care how long they're will last I still got my wheel of steal mk 2 n my new mk 5 in black don't use them cus they black I like silver color but I like those mk 7R they hot Whit that torn arm color all black don't like

Returned my MK7's they felt cheap and had erratic pitch fader issues.

The alignment of those expedits is giving me anxiety...

Love mine! Pitch is great for mixing. 1 minute mix locked in with only minor ajustments. Just too expensive!!!!! 1600 hundred! But if you do have to have technics. Had a set of Numark TTX1s. Pitch was always ajustments. You could get them a close as u can but had to ajust to slow down by touching the plater systematically. Mk2 will always be the best for mixing long mixes hands down

HasTechnics fixed the dead spot issue?

the mk7s were cheaply built with more plastic and less feedback protection.They were way overpriced and not up to standard.I have not seen these new mk7s opened up but i would be interested to find out how the feedback protection is on these.So far i have not seen anything here that hasnt been done already by Stanton on their classic STR8 range.Also mostly a pair of old school Technics with no feedback issues and most of these features without the insane prices would do as well

I know it is about functionality, but Red Bull emblem on it? No thanx..🤷‍♂️

I have a pair of 1200 M5G. The only thing I'm not liking about the new MK7 is the fact that the entire tone arm assembly is one unit.

These turntables have feedback issues with vinyl playback. Very sad

*I heard the isolation on these are terrible.*

I've heard that the digital pitch is shit ?

See this guys videos on the mk7 platter and pitch fader issues: ru-vid.comsearch?query=mk7

These r 1210's ..even says the box

Put this mk7 on bassy environment - and you will see they are shit! The problem with mk7 is the shitty materials 7kg weight, there are from PLASTIC (the bottom) the GR and Mk2 are multilayer construction from spezial heavcy rubber and BMC spezial material.... www.technics.com/pl/produkty/grand-class/seria-sl1200g/sl-1200g.html

Digital fader is shit go for Mk2

I'll pass. I'll keep my M5Gs

Shilling for a poison drink .

I understand you're scratching here, but the overdone hand gestures just take away from your professionalism.
