Description
Technics SL-40CBT Direct Drive Turntable
The Technics SL-40CBT is a turntable created for listeners who want the unmistakable feel of vinyl paired with the convenience of modern technology. At its core is Technics’ renowned coreless direct-drive motor, engineered for smooth, stable rotation that preserves every nuance of your music. The aluminium platter, carefully weighted and internally ribbed, works in harmony with the motor to reduce vibration and maintain precise speed, allowing records to play with clarity and consistency. Its S-shaped tonearm, a hallmark of Technics engineering, tracks grooves with refined accuracy, revealing texture and detail that digital formats often miss.
Designed to be ready the moment you unpack it, the SL-40CBT comes fitted with an Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge and a built-in phono preamp, so you can connect directly to powered speakers, a traditional amplifier, or a hi-fi system without needing additional components. What sets this model apart is its integrated Bluetooth 5.4 capability, including support for aptX Adaptive, which lets you enjoy the warmth of vinyl through wireless headphones or speakers without compromising ease of use.
The aesthetic reflects a more contemporary take on Technics tradition. Instead of a metal chassis, the turntable features a beautifully crafted MDF wooden plinth in modern finish options, blending effortlessly into home environments where design matters as much as sound. Thoughtfully engineered insulators and careful damping throughout the structure help minimise external vibrations, ensuring clean, uninterrupted playback even in lively living spaces.
Combining classic Technics performance with today’s convenience, the SL-40CBT is an ideal choice for listeners who want high-quality vinyl playback without the fuss.
