TECHNICS SL-40CBT

Premium Class;

- Manual Rigid-chassis Direct-Drive Turntable, with optional built-in Moving Magnet Phono Preamplifier and Bluetooth Transmitter, supplied with Audio-Technica AT-VM95C Moving Magnet Cartridge;

- A reinterpretation of what has always been unanimously recognized as the most iconic model in the history of direct-drive turntables, the legendary Technics SL-1200, released in 1972 and established as an absolute benchmark in the music industry (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ). This version is specifically designed to deliver a purely analog listening experience combined with the convenience of contemporary connectivity, with astonishing design, engineering, and build quality that far exceeds its intended audience.

- A newly developed brushless DC direct-drive coreless motor, with no iron core, minimizes harmonic distortion and vibration, ensuring smooth and precise rotation with consistent performance over time and eliminating "cogging"—the rotational irregularities caused by the interaction between the rotor magnets and the stator slots in standard electric motors;

- A digital motor control circuitry detects rotation speed in real time, calculating and applying corrections as needed to maximize accuracy;

- A 1.26 kg die-cast aluminum platter with reinforced ribs and a direct-mount motor magnet;

- A layout with separate circuit boards for the power supply, motor control, and phono preamp and equalization stage, located away from the tonearm and the audio signal generated by the cartridge;

- Gimbal-suspension tonearm with universal static balance and an "S" profile made of lightweight aluminum alloy with newly designed high-precision bearings, equipped with graduated adjustments for anti-skating and tracking force with a counterweight;

- Sturdy MDF chassis with an elegant, ultra-minimalist design;

- Effective anti-vibration feet made of a dampening rubber compound whose composition is calibrated to displace resonances outside the audible frequency range;

- Analog MM phono stage with high-quality circuitry and components, isolated and with a gain of 36.5 dB;

- Bluetooth transmitter version 5.4 with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive codec and SBC, thanks to which the turntable can be connected wirelessly and with high-quality playback to active speakers, wireless headphones, or amplifiers equipped with a Bluetooth receiver;

- High-quality Audio-Technica AT-VM95C moving magnet (MM) cartridge with a conical stylus and 4 mV output voltage;

- 33 1/3 RPM and 45 RPM rotational speeds;

- High torque with lightning-fast start-up response, from standstill to 33 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and an electronically controlled braking system;

- Wow and flutter deviations of less than 0.025% WRMS, almost measurable;

- Dual sets of individual L/R RCA connectors with dedicated selector switches for phono-level output (phono preamp off) or line-level output (phono preamp on);

- Dust cover, mat, EP record adapter, headshell, Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge, audio cable, ground wire, and power cord included;

- Dimensions (W x H x D) 430 x 128 x 353 mm;

- Weight 7.1 kg.
