Technics SL-1210GME

Not much is documented about the Technics SL-1210GME. What the record shows is that it was a special limited-edition direct-drive turntable, sold under the Master Edition name and usually discussed alongside its sibling, the SL-1200GME. Technics described the pair as continuing the legacy of the beloved SL-1200.

The one technical detail that has survived is about the drive circuitry. According to Technics, the SL-1200GME/1210GME expands the PWM carrier frequency from around 2 kHz to over 20 kHz. That reduces audible noise and further suppresses micro-vibrations.

Beyond that, the archival record is thin. No production years, no original price, no full specification sheet and no period reviews have surfaced so far. A brochure or service document for the GME would fill a real gap.
