BNotes
- 01
The recessed power switch exists because club DJs kept hitting the MK2's exposed one mid-set.[1] Turntable Lab

Its Japanese twin is the MK3D: same detent-free fader, reset button, recessed switch, lift-off cover and headshell stand. The export deck is the one to buy in the US; it runs on local mains, where a MK3D import is 100 V only.[1] Wikipedia[2] Audio Heritage (JP), SL-1200MK3D
