TEAC TN-400BT-X Analog Bluetooth Turntable

Aluminum die-cast platter with 3-speed belt-drive

A die-cast, high-inertia aluminum platter is driven by a high-torque DC motor via a durable rubber flat-belt, giving immensely stable playback at 33-⅓, 45 and 78 rpm speeds.

 

New low-resistance spindle

A precisely-machined stainless steel spindle and durable brass bearing maintain accurate rotational speed, thanks to reduced friction.

 

Natural walnut veneer finish with laser-engraved logo

The TN-400BT-X is available in natural varnished walnut veneer finish with laser-engraved TEAC logo.

 

Built-in Phono EQ amplifier

The TN-400BT-X has an onboard Phono EQ amplifier that supports MM-type cartridges, allowing the deck to be connected to conventional amplifiers/micro systems that lack a dedicated turntable input. The Phono EQ amplifier employs a hi-fi quality NJM8080 op-amp chip (designed by JRC) which amplifies the tiny audio signal from the stylus with the minimum of distortion.

 

S-shaped static-balanced tone-arm

The S-shaped, static-balanced aluminum tone-arm is equipped with a counterweight and anti-skating mechanism that allow an exact setting of balance as well as tracking pressure, ensuring accurate tracking during playback. A tone-arm lifter is also fitted for smooth lowering of the tone-arm onto records.
The tone-arm takes universal-type headshells so users can change cartridges with relative ease. In order to reduce signal losses between the tone-arm and the headshell, gold-plated contact points are employed, to help deliver an uncorrupted audio signal.

 

Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming with Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive codec

The TN-400BT-X's Bluetooth® wireless transmission system supports the higher quality Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive codecs, as well as the conventional SBC codec. This means that even if users don't have a hi-fi system, then can still enjoy truly high-quality vinyl replay via Bluetooth®-equipped headphones or speakers. Connecting the TN-400BT-X to Bluetooth® headphones or speakers is achieved very simply, at the touch of a button. A single-function pairing key and an associated LED indicator provide simple and clear confirmation of the connection status.

 Beautifully detailed

The TN-400BT-X brings elegance to the process of playing a record. The machined aluminum operation knobs ooze quality while the aluminum feet, attached to high-density MDF chassis via shock-absorbing rubber, provide a high resistance to feedback.

 MM-type Cartridge from audio-technica

The deck comes with an excellent, all-purpose MM cartridge, employing a lightweight aluminum cantilever, which helps deliver an accurate, highly musical standard of playback.
