TEAC TN-400BT-X Bluetooth Turntable - Walnut

Overview

The TN-400BT-X is an analogue turntable that also allows users to listen to LP records wirelessly via Bluetooth® headphones & speakers. A die-cast aluminium platter provides accurate rotational speed while an S-shaped static balanced aluminium tone arm provides accurate tracking. The built-in Phono EQ amplifier enables the TN-400BT-X to be connected to a conventional hi-fi amplifier or a micro hi-fi system. At the same time, a universal type headshell allows users to easily change cartridges.

A built-in Bluetooth® transmitter also lets users listen to LP records wirelessly with high-quality audio (thanks to the aptX® and AAC codecs).

Aluminium die-cast platter with 3-speed belt drive

A die-cast, high inertia aluminium platter is driven by a high torque DC motor via a durable rubber flat-belt, giving immensely stable playback at 33 1/3, 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

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 or microsystems that lack a dedicated turntable input. The Phono EQ amplifier employs a hi-fi quality NJM8080 op-amp chip (designed by JRC), amplifying the tiny audio signal from the stylus with minimal distortion.

New subsonic filter for improved sound

By filtering out the frequencies below 18Hz, the TN-400BT-X prevents excess LF signal levels from being sent to amplifiers, presenting an easier electrical load to any connected speakers. This filter is particularly effective when playing back warped vinyl records which would otherwise induce undesirable woofer movement (the subsonic filter is off when Phono EQ is THRU).
