TECHNICS SL-40CBT GREY

SL-40CBT GREY

Premium Class;
- manual direct-drive rigid-chassis turntable, with optional MM phono preamplifier and built-in Bluetooth transmitter, supplied with Audio-Technica AT-VM95C MM cartridge;
- a reinterpretation of what has always been unanimously recognised as the most iconic model in the history of direct-drive turntables, the legendary Technics SL-1200 launched in 1972 and established as an absolute reference in the music industry (Hi-Fi, professional, DJ), here expressly designed as a modern Hi-Fi version, aimed at delivering a purely analog listening experience combined with the practicality of contemporary connection methods, with astonishing design, engineering, and build quality, well above its target market;
- newly developed coreless brush-less DC direct-drive motor, without an iron core, capable of minimising harmonic distortions and vibrations, ensuring smooth and precise rotation, with consistent performance over time and able to eliminate "cogging" phenomena, the rotational irregularities originating in standard electric motors from the interaction between rotor magnets and stator slots;
- digital motor control circuit, capable of real-time detection of rotational speed, calculating and applying any necessary corrections to elevate accuracy to the highest levels;
- 1.26 kg die-cast aluminum platter with reinforced ribs and a direct-mount motor magnet;
- layout with separate printed circuit boards for power supply, motor control, and the phono preamplification and equalization stage, located away from the tonearm and the audio signal generated by the cartridge;
- universal static-balanced gimbal-suspended tonearm with an "S" profile made of very light aluminum alloy with newly designed high-precision bearings, equipped with graduated anti-skating and tracking force adjustment tools with counterweight;
- robust MDF chassis with an elegant ultra-minimalist design;
- effective anti-vibration feet made with a rubber damping compound whose composition is calibrated to shift 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 ver. 5.4 transmitter with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive and SBC codecs, allowing wireless connection of the turntable with high-quality playback to active speakers, wireless headphones, or amplifiers equipped with a Bluetooth receiver;
- high-level Audio-Technica AT-VM95C moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge, with conical stylus and an output voltage of 4 mV;
- rotation speeds of 33 1/3 RPM and 45 RPM;
- high torque with lightning-fast start-up response, from standstill to 33 and 1/3 RPM in 0.7 seconds, and an electronically controlled braking system;
- wow & flutter deviations below 0.025% WRMS, at the limits of measurability;
- dual set of individual L/R RCA connectors with a dedicated selector to use the Phono level output (Phono preamplifier deactivated) or line level (Phono preamplifier activated);
- dust cover, mat, EP record adapter, headshell, Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge, audio cable, grounding cable, and power cable included;
- Grey finish;
- dimensions (W x H x D) 430 x 128 x 353 mm;
- weight 7.1 Kg.
