Description
The SP10 started life in 1970 as a servo-controlled motor unit designed for studio use.

In 1975 the much improved SP10 mkII (1975-81) was introduced with Quartz-locked speed control and external power supply; this is the version which found its way into many studios, replacing ageing Garrard 401s and the like.

The unit was also made available to the public as the high-end SL1000 mkII system which included the SH-10B3 Obsidian base and EPA100, and later the EPA500 tonearm.

For serious professional use the SP10 mkIIP version (as used by the BBC) provided full, wired remote control of start/stop and speed functions and added a stepped pitch control.

The mkIIA (1983-87) was a minor update to the original mkII, with simplified circuitry.

The final version was the SP10 mk3 (1981-87) - this behemoth sported a 10kg platter and sophisticated power supply with digital readout of pitch, and an even heavier SH10B7 Obsidian plinth (also made available for the mkII).

The mk3 version is rarely seen outside of Japan and commands very high prices on the used market.

Power supplies for the mk2 versions of the deck are external. The correct versions for each model are as follows: mkII - SH10-E, mkIIa - SH-10EA, mkIIp - SH-10EP

Technics all new SP-10 mk2 represents a standard of accuracy and quality in disc reproduction that has never been attained before; this truly outstanding three speed package unquestionably constitutes a new reference against which professional systems will have to be measured for years to come.

Just glance at some of these amazing features: almost total absence of speed drift; immeasurably small wow and flutter; extreme quietness; enormously high torque; and practically instantaneous starting and stopping.

Other features include modular circuit construction for ease of servicing and a specially designed rubber mat on the underside of the platter for vibration damping.
