Driven by the Technics Legacy

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.

Technics SL-40CBT Turntable

Tonearm

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

Technics SL-40CBT Turntable

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.

Technics SL-40CBT Turntable

Platter

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

Technics SL-40CBT Turntable

Insulator

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.

Technics SL-40CBT Turntable

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.

Technics SL-40CBT Turntable

Circuit Layout

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

Technics SL-40CBT Turntable

Phono Circuit

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.
