Technics SL-1210 MK3 — Professional DJ Turntable Hire
About this product
The definitive professional DJ turntable and the one most likely to appear on a touring rider. The Technics SL-1210 MK3 has defined club culture globally since its introduction and remains the benchmark against which every other turntable is measured. Available for DJ turntable hire across Northamptonshire, the East Midlands and the wider UK through Northants Event Solutions.
The SL-1210 MK3's quartz-locked direct drive motor delivers 1.5 kgf-cm of starting torque, reaching 33⅓ RPM from standstill in 0.7 seconds with virtually zero overshoot. Wow and flutter of just 0.01% WRMS gives the stable, drift-free playback that has made the Technics SL-1210 the choice of professional DJs and broadcasters for decades. Pitch control at ±8% via the side-mounted slider with strobe light for visual BPM confirmation and quartz lock reset for instant return to zero. Vibration-dampening plinth and isolated platter design make it resistant to acoustic feedback in high-volume live sound environments — critical for club nights, festival stages and any event where the DJ is working close to a PA. Static-balanced S-shaped tonearm with removable headshell accepts all standard half-inch DJ cartridges. Available individually or in pairs alongside our Pioneer DJM mixer hire inventory for a complete professional vinyl booth setup.
