Technics SL-40 CBT & SC-CX700 Wireless Analog/Digital-Set

THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ENJOY THE WARM SOUND OF A RECORD WITH LITTLE EFFORT AND WITHOUT ANNOYING CABLES!

With the Technics SL-40CBT, the manufacturer presents a turntable that combines classic hi-fi tradition with contemporary features. The model is based on the proven coreless direct-drive system and was specifically designed for the modern lifestyle. Its compact design, integrated Bluetooth® connectivity, and elegant finish make it a device that impresses both technically and aesthetically.

Natural design with a warm feel

The SL-40CBT's housing is made of high-quality MDF, a fine-pored wood fiber composite. This material not only ensures stability but also gives the turntable a natural warmth and a subtle appeal. It thus blends harmoniously into a wide variety of living environments, combining technology with elegant aesthetics.

Analog playback with digital convenience

A special feature of this model is the combination of analog vinyl enjoyment and wireless flexibility. Thanks to integrated Bluetooth®, you can connect the turntable directly to wireless speakers or headphones. No complicated cables or installations are required – the music starts playing immediately.

Ready to use immediately for vinyl record lovers

The SL-40CBT comes with a pre-installed cartridge and an integrated phono preamplifier. Both components are precisely matched, allowing you to connect the turntable directly to active speakers or to an amplifier with passive speakers. This ensures you can enjoy authentic vinyl playback without any intermediate steps.

Precise tonearm construction

Despite its compact design, the SL-40CBT retains the classic S-shape of the tonearm. The minimized tonearm base reduces space requirements without compromising tracking precision. Micrometer-precise manufacturing guarantees reliable tracking and high playback quality.

High-quality pickup for clear sound reproduction

Included in the package is the Audio-Technica AT-VM95C, a cartridge with a conical stylus. This offers clear and detailed sound reproduction that will impress both beginners and experienced vinyl enthusiasts. The integrated phono preamplifier, specifically designed for this system, further enhances the musicality.

Stable turntable with precise torque control

A key element of the SL-40CBT is its 1.26-kilogram die-cast aluminum platter. Reinforcing ribs enhance stability, while the directly mounted motor magnet ensures constant rotation and precise torque control. This results in exceptionally smooth record playback.

Improved vibration damping

To minimize interference from external influences, the turntable features newly tuned damping feet. These increase vibration resistance and reduce acoustic feedback. The optimized rubber hardness shifts potential resonances specifically outside the audible range, thus preserving a clear, interference-free sound.

Digital motor control for highest accuracy

The motor's digital control ensures maximum rotational accuracy. This is achieved through three key technologies: precise speed detection, calibration of each individual unit during production, and digitally optimized control signals for the motor. The result is a consistent and absolutely reliable speed.

Optimized circuit design

To avoid sonic distortion, Technics employs a separate circuit design in the SL-40CBT. The circuit boards for power supply, motor control, and phono EQ are spatially separated from the tonearm and connected via crossover-free cables. This design minimizes interference and contributes to a clear, detailed sound.

Precise phono circuitry

The integrated MM phono equalizer is precisely calibrated to the included cartridge. High-quality components and meticulous tuning ensure exceptionally low signal processing. This preserves the musical detail and enhances the natural character of the vinyl sound.
