Welcome Back - Technics Relaunches in Australia
Hi-fi enthusiasts have had to sit back and watch as the famed-Technics brand relaunched around the globe, while year on year releasing even more new products. Well, wait no more, as Technics is back Downunder, and you can buy it as soon as next week.
The exclusive Australian launch was held this evening at the Pullman Quay Grand on Sydney Harbour, complete with Australia's most iconic bridge as a backdrop. Select journalists, as well as specialists who will form the small but exclusive network of retailers were invited to the unveiling of just part of Technics' first-stage launch. We're told we can expect more of the range to become available in time.
At launch, the range will include DJ turntable SL-1210MK7 ($1,749) and EAH -DJ1200 headphones ($299) plus four 'audiophile' turntables including SL-1200G ($6,999), SL1200GR/SL-1210GR ($2,749), and SL-1500C ($1,999).
Technics will also release its OTTAVA range of wireless streaming products including the SC-C70 All-in-One Music System ($1,649), and SC-C50 ($1,429) and SC-C30 ($1,149) wireless speakers. Rounding out the initial Aussie launch is the EAH-F70N ($599) noise-cancelling headphones.
A video link with Technics Director of Technics Project, Panasonic Corporation, Michiko Ogawa, an accomplished classical jazz musician herself, spoke of the brand's philosophy and it's three core principals being Sound, Technology, and Design. Combined, these core principals allow consumers to 'Rediscover Music'.
Naturally, we've organised review samples so we can delve deeper into each of the newly available Technics range. Stay tuned.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
