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. 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. Insulator – Excellent vibration resistance and reduced howling are achieved by newly tuned insulators. It’s rubber hardness is optimized 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. Circuit Layout – Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring. This minimizes distortion of sound. 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. 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. Analog 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 Optimized 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. Eco-friendly Package The SL-40CBT uses eco-friendly packaging by replacing styrene foam cushioning with cardboard to reduce marine plastic waste. * May differ from the actual product.   FAQ’s 1.
