Technics SL-40CBT Direct Drive Bluetooth Turntable

SL-40CBT Direct Drive Bluetooth Turntable, by Technics.

The stylish and sophisticated Technics SL-40CBT is a Direct Drive turntable featuring Bluetooth connectivity, allowing anyone to rediscover music with precision and warmth.

This is authentic analogue quality, reimagined for modern living. Bluetooth makes it easy to connect your wireless headphones or wireless hi-fi speakers, and create a system without complicated cabling or setup fuss.

The natural texture of SL-40CBT is crafted from MDF, a wood-based material with fine layered fibres, offering quiet warmth and subtle presence—bringing harmony to any living space.

With the included cartridge and built-in phono amplifier precisely matched for optimal performance, simply connect to active speakers or an amplifier and passive speakers—and confidently enjoy vinyl playback immediately.

Direct Drive

For decades, Technics’ direct drive has delivered accurate, maintenance-free rotation. This mechanism, which directly spins the platter with strong torque, has evolved to offer even greater precision with a coreless motor that eliminates cogging.

Digital control elevates rotation accuracy to the highest level through precise speed detection, per-unit calibration during production, and digitally optimised motor drive signals.

Built-In Phono Stage

The built-in MM phono equalizer, optimally tuned to the included cartridge, along with the premium components and case, delivers clear sound with minimal noise.

Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring. This minimises sound distortion.

Precision Components

While minimising the tonearm base size, the design inherits the traditional S-shape and ensures high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering.

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.

Rigid rotation and precise torque control are achieved by a 1.26 kg die-cast aluminium platter with reinforced ribs and a directly mounted motor magnet.

Excellent vibration resistance and reduced howling are achieved by newly tuned insulators. It’s rubber hardness is optimised to shift resonance outside the audible range.
