Panasonic have released an official statement that claims they have no current plans to discontinue the Technics brand of turntables.

If you've been keeping your ears to the ground over the past month, you'll most likely have heard a few people commenting that Technics would be discontinuing their trademark 1200 and 1210 turntables. The story first emerged at the DMCWorld site, where we were informed that:
We have just heard the sad news from Panasonic (the manufacturer of Technics) that production of the world famous Technics SL-1200 and SL-1210 DJ turntables will stop at the end of February 2010. This marks the end of an era – Technics have been the industry standard for over 35 years with this turntable and the SL-1200 is synonymous with the DJ culture.
The alleged statement was later repeated on sites such as Future Music and the Global Hardstyle forums, before quickly spreading across the internet.

Surprise, shock and disbelief were the common reactions to the rumours, and this was only compounded when Australia's In The Mix site issued another statement from Panasonic spokesperson Ian North on November 27th. North was reported to have said that, "It is a sad day today, but due to low sales globally in analogue turntables a decision to stop production has been made on Technics Turntables. For Australia this means we will receive our last shipment in March."

However, just three days later, North spoke to the Australian branch of Cnet, stating that his comments to In The Mix were "premature." North talked about the "decline in the analog market," before adding, "We are still supplying our dealers and we still have stock coming in." That said, in the same article, Ryan Hochkins of Australian DJ equipment retailer DJ Warehouse has commented on ongoing distribution issues in his territory. "There's always people who come in and want to buy Technics whether they're at the price they are at now or the price they were at two years ago, but it was never easy for us to get them," Hochkins states.

While all this was going on elsewhere, the DMCUpdate page where the story first originated was altered, now informing readers that: "Our latest update on the subject of the continued production of Technics turntables is that Panasonic NZ have now been advised by Panasonic Japan that there has not been an official decision made either way at this time. It may be some time before there is an official announcement from Panasonic Japan but we will keep you updated." In The Mix was also finding it difficult to get a straight answer from Panasonic, with the Australian branch of the multi-national offering a closing statement that said, "In regard to the discontinuation of Technics analogue turntables, Panasonic Corp. has made no official global announcement with regard to this matter. Panasonic Australia is unable to provide any further comment."

All this speculation and the lack of clear facts emerging led many to question whether this was all a clever stunt by Panasonic to increase demand in the short-term leading up to Christmas, with the Inverted Audio blog asking, "is this a mean viral marketing stratergy (sic) to boost global sales of their turntables?"

Well, we can now reveal that all talk of production stopping on Technics turntables has been untrue, as Panasonic have issued us with the following:
"As a major global business, Panasonic keeps all of its operations under constant review. However, there are no current plans to discontinue the Technics brand and the production of Technics turntables."
We prompted the company to answer more questions regarding which particular models would be continued, but the Panasonic spokesperson made it clear that this was all that they were willing to divulge at this point in time.

Mulero volverá a cambiarse a sus raíces .

Esta noticia tiene su tiempo ya,lo postee hace bastante

Pues no sabia nada, pero empezaba a ser un cante que siempre hubiera stock. Y empieza a ser un cante la cantidad de música de calidad que se encuentra en vinilo…una excusa menos para los de sync!!

P.D:Y lo de Mulero, sin comentarios…os acordáis, que ya se lo habían dicho a el esto de que technics dejaba de fabricar platos?

Por las fechas del rumor de su desaparición, coincidió que tuve que llevar un plato al servicio técnico y me confirmaron que no tenían ninguna constancia oficial y que les parecía muy improbable.

Soy yo sólo? Es que nadie se ha dado cuenta que la noticia a la que enlaza tiene fecha del 2009?

Yo no se lo que será verdad o lo que no, pero no me fiaría mucho de esa noticia cuando un año mas tarde se anunció que si se dejaban de fabricar:

Coño pues es verdad. Pero tambien es verdad que se siguen encontrando platos nuevos.

Tal vez los chinitos, tan amantes ellos del plagio, nos acaben echando una mano en este aspecto. Aunque donde este un producto original alemán que se quite la mierda oriental

pues si que la fecha no la he mirado...FAIL...pero tambien es cierto que se estan vendiendo platos como churros y siguen habiendo en stock, lo de que algunos vuelvan al vinilo si que lo veo de broma XD

Yo solo digo que trabajo en el Reino Unido para una empresa de venta de equipamiento para DJs y que tuve la oportunidad de hablar con el representante de Panasonic(seccion de TVs etc) y me dijo/confirmo que los moldes han sido reemplazados y las maquinas modificadas para hacer aspiradoras, porque ademas de los moldes estar hechos polvo de tantos anyos ya es casi imposible de conseguir determinados componentes cruciales anyadiendo que la demanda ha disminuido drasticamente y ya no es un negocio viable(moldes,partes etc).

interesante lo k acaba de decir el profe

me acabo de enterar de la noticia... que tristeza enterarse así de sopetón... ni me lo esperaba...

Que hagan lo que quieran (seguramente, en último término...mandarlos fabricar en China con unas especificaciones concretas dadas por Panasonic)...
Yo lo que tengo claro es que mis hijos (si los tengo) heredarán mis Technics funcionando, y seguramente mis nietos...
Y si no, pues oye, Vestax tiene la oportunidad que lleva esperando toda la vida de vestirse de líderes en platos giradiscos de alta gama...
