I don't know if this is real or not. I believe it is. It comes from the Panasonic Japan internet site (Panasonic own Technics don't they?)



TECHNICS 1200 mk5



I am sorry to link to another site about it. But they will be posting a translation ASAP.

I didnt even know there was a mk4

The mk4 is believed to be a hoax. It came before the m3d and it was basically a mk2 with a 78 RPM button and platinum plated contacts (so no quartz reset and all the stuff on the m3d yet).

Yet it's featured on the japanese panasonic page... So it should exist. Just seems weird to have mistaken the names so badly. But I'm used of that by technics.

Neither the Mk4 or the Mk5 are designed for club use. The Mk3D will still be the top-of-the-range turntable.

Btw, I think the Mk4 only came out in Japan, but I'm not sure.

The mk2 wasn't intended for dj'ing either. It's still a hifi record player. But a damn good one that is
