TECHNICS SL-40CBT BLACK

SL-40CBT BLACK

Premium Class;
- manual direct-drive turntable with rigid frame and built-in MM Phono preamplifier optionally usable and integrated Bluetooth transmitter, supplied with Audio-Technica AT-VM95C MM cartridge;
- 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 the absolute reference in the music industry (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ), here expressly presented in a modern Hi-Fi version, designed to deliver a purely analog listening experience combined with the convenience of contemporary connectivity methods, featuring surprising design, engineering and build quality, well above its class;
- new-generation Coreless direct-drive motor in brushless DC (direct current) without iron core, capable of minimizing harmonic distortion and vibrations, ensuring smooth and precise rotation, with consistent performance over time and able to eliminate "cogging" phenomena, the rotational irregularities that originate in standard electric motors from the interaction between rotor magnets and stator slots;
- digital motor control circuit, capable of detecting rotational speed in real time, calculating and applying corrections to increase its accuracy to the highest levels;
- die-cast aluminum platter weighing 1.26 kg with reinforced ribs and direct-mount motor magnet;
- layout with separate PCBs for power supply, motor control and Phono preamplification and equalization stage, positioned away from the tonearm and the audio signal generated by the cartridge;
- cardanic gimbal suspension tonearm and universal static balance with "S" profile in ultra-lightweight aluminum alloy with newly designed high-precision bearings, equipped with graduated adjustment instruments for antiskating and tracking force with counterweight;
- robust MDF chassis with elegant ultra-minimalist design;
- effective vibration-damping feet made with a rubber damping compound whose composition is calibrated to shift resonances outside the audible frequency range;
- MM Phono analog stage with high-quality circuitry and components, isolated with a gain of 36.5 dB;
- Bluetooth ver. 5.4 transmitter with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive and SBC codec, through which it is possible to connect the turntable wirelessly and with high reproduction quality to active speakers, wireless headphones or amplifiers equipped with Bluetooth receiver;
- high-level Audio-Technica AT-VM95C moving magnet (MM) cartridge, with conical stylus and output voltage of 4 mV;
- Rotation speed at 33 1/3 RPM and 45 RPM;
- High torque with lightning-fast start response, from 0 to 33 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and electronic-controlled braking system;
- Wow and flutter deviations lower than 0.025% WRMS, at the limits of measurability;
- Dual set of individual L/R RCA connectors with dedicated selector to leverage Phono level output (Phono preamplifier disabled) or line level (Phono preamplifier enabled);
- dust cover, slipmat, EP adapter, headshell, Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge, audio cable, ground cable and power cable included;
- Black finish;
- Dimensions (W x H x D) 430 x 128 x 353 mm;
