For the SL-1210MK7, a new coreless direct-drive motor was developed. This motor employs a coreless stator. The removal of the iron core from the stator eliminated the root cause of cogging. Furthermore, the magnetic force of the rotor magnets was improved to the highest possible level, and the gap between the coreless stator and rotor magnets was optimised, thus achieving high torque performance equalling that of the SL-1200MK5. The SL-1210MK7 employs the newest motor control technology, refined through the development of Panasonic Blu-ray disc products. Utilising a microcomputer, this advanced motor control technology ensures high performance in normal rotation and also responds accurately to a wide range of DJ play styles, such as scratching. The starting torque and brake speed can be adjusted individually to suit the user’s preference.
The chassis, an essential part for reducing external vibrations, inherits the audio quality enhancement technology fostered through the development of high-end turntables. The aluminium die-cast chassis is rigidly integrated with a special material consisting of ABS mixed with glass fibre to achieve a two-layer construction. The combination of this special high-rigidity material and a metal chassis raised the rigidity and vibration-damping performance to higher levels, realising a robust cabinet for beautiful sound reproduction.
The Rane Seventy-Two has been designed in collaboration with champion DJs and their crews all over the world. This battle-ready flagship offers the high standards of performance and construction that people expect from Rane, along with ground-breaking technology. With the Rane Seventy-Two, two DJs can battle it out with their laptops simultaneously through the two USB computer connections. With a brand-new 4.3-inch colour touchscreen, the Seventy-Two not only shows Serato's moving waveforms and their cue points, but it also brings much-needed interactive experience to FX workflows, with two internal Flex FX engines and stacked Serato effects. Die-cast aluminium toggles and customizable MPC pads unleash the creativity that all battle DJs have in them.
