Product Description

We are selling off our rear SL-DZ1200 with roadcases ( Sold in Pairs  ) 

This may be the hardest review I have ever had to write. Thing is, we were all excited for this to come out, and when it finally did the cries of let down were heard quite loudly. Not only that, but given how late in the game this review is, one almost has to wonder if anything can be said that has not been already. Finally Technics has ignored our requests for a review unit for over a year and a half, making it so I had to borrow one from work to even be able to complete this! That said I feel that the DZ has got some bad press that is not deserved, as well as some bad press that has been missed. And so, on with the show.

“Shiny Objects”

First thing of note-out of the box the DZ may be one of the sexiest machines ever to hit the DJ world. With an almost laser disc-like shine to it’s platter and a an equally beautiful screen, one can’t help but be in awe of how many things the designers got right.

Surrounding the 10-inch platter (of note because of the fact that it is the same size as it’s Pioneer and Denon competitors which only have 7-inch platters) are the usual start/cue buttons, pitch fader, and 2 banks of cue/sample buttons, split into 4 button banks. All track rewind/advance controls, display orientation, etc are around the center display and in the top left corner sit the effect controls, split into “vinyl emulation” and “platter effect” banks. Rounding out the controls, a stop time dial sits on the rear and the eject button sits on the front panel next to the disc slot.
