Technics SL-40CBT Direct Drive Bluetooth Turntable
Presenting the Technics SL-40CBT Turntable
Timeless Sound for Today's Style
True Analog Sound, Tuned for Home
Natural Texture
Where Analog Meets Bluetooth® Ease
Optimised for Instant Vinyl Playback
Driven by the Technics Legacy
Meticulously Engineered with Precision
Tonearm
While Technics engineers minimised the tonearm base size of the SL-40CBT turntable, its design inherits the traditional S-shape, ensuring high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering.
Cartridge
The included Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge features a conical stylus that delivers clear sound. With the built-in phono EQ, it ensures optimal performance.
Platter
Rigid rotation and precise torque control are achieved with the 1.26 kg die-cast aluminium platter with reinforced ribs and a directly mounted motor magnet.
Insulator
Excellent vibration resistance and reduced howling are achieved thanks to the SL-40CBT's newly tuned insulators. Its rubber hardness is optimised to shift resonance outside the audible range.
Intelligence Behind the Spin
Digital Control
Digital control elevates rotation accuracy to the highest level through (1) precise speed detection, (2) per-unit calibration during production, and (3) digitally optimised motor drive signals.
Circuit Layout
Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring. This minimises the distortion of sound, maximising the clarity and depth of your vinyl.
PHONO circuit
The built-in MM phono equaliser, optimally tuned to the included cartridge, along with the premium components and case, delivers clear sound with minimal noise.
Eco-friendly Package
The SL-40CBT uses eco-friendly packaging by replacing styrene foam cushioning with cardboard to reduce marine plastic waste.
