SL-40CBT

Inheriting Technics’ proven coreless direct drive system, SL-40CBT is refined for modern living—with a compact body, Bluetooth® connectivity, and warm wood finishes.

Natural Texture
Crafted from MDF, a wood-based material with fine layered fibers, offering quiet warmth and subtle presence—bringing harmony to any living space.

Analogue Meets Bluetooth® Ease
Enjoy analog sound freely with built-in Bluetooth®—connect instantly to wireless speakers or headphones, no cables or complex setup needed.
* Supported codecs: Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive and SBC

Optimised for Instant Vinyl Playback
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.

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.

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

Engineered Precision | 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.

Engineered Precision | 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.

Engineered Precision | 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.

Intelligence Behind the Spin | 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.

Intelligence Behind the Spin | 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.

Intelligence Behind the Spin | 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.
