Technics SL-P10 (1983) | Digital Audio Disc

 

The P10 was the pinnacle of the first generation of Technics CD players, incorporating all of Technics's advanced technological capabilities in the pursuit of perfection in both sound quality and operability. In addition to the excellent sound quality achieved through refined fidelity, it also offers a full range of operational functions, including a random access program function with up to 63 steps, and a large FL display that combines bar graph and digital displays. It boasts high quality worthy of its title as the pinnacle of quality. The photodetector and other components are housed in a precision die-cast aluminum one-piece body. Its robust structure ensures high reliability. The actuator in particular makes maximum use of Technics' cartridge technology. Unique structures such as twin parallel suspension achieve smooth and accurate focus and tracking servo. Furthermore, in the P10, a specially developed ultra-compact D.D. motor drives the turntable. These optical and mechanical blocks are also integrated with high precision into an aluminum die-cast chassis. By configuring it as an "Optical Deck Unit," it ensures unwavering overall precision and high performance. In developing the P10, Technics spared no effort in developing new components, thoroughly pursuing high precision and high performance. This also applies to the electronic circuits. By developing four types of dedicated LSI and eight types of IC, the circuitry has been converted almost entirely into LSI and IC. 

The digital signal processing circuit, which is the main circuit, has been successfully converted into 100% integrated. D/A conversion is performed by a 16-bit D/A converter using a unique manufacturing process that achieves ultra-high precision and high performance with nonlinear distortion of ±0.002%. This is the most important device that determines the sound quality of a CD player. The P10's D/A converter is committed to high fidelity, bringing out all the charm of CD sound.The display clearly shows just how thorough the pursuit of perfection has been with the P10. It has a bar graph display and a digital display, but what is particularly noteworthy is the three-row bar graph display. Random access program function with overwhelming memory capacity allows you to enjoy reservation play of up to 63 steps by 10 key operation. You can specify not only the song number but also the time (minutes and seconds). You can freely specify the start and end of play with 1 second accuracy. In addition, auto repeat play is also possible. When first presented in a Technics brochure the model name was actually SQ-CD10 but by the time production started it was renamed as SL-P10 and it was available in black and silver. Size (WxHxD): 430x133x315 | Weight: 10kg
