Description

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

True Analog Sound, Tuned for Home

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

Enjoy analog sound freely with built-in Bluetooth^®—connect instantly to wireless speakers or headphones, no cables or complex setup needed.

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

The Technics SL-40CBT is a direct drive turntable featuring the same direct drive motor technology as the SL-1500C and SL-1200MK7 with a built-in phono preamp, and Bluetooth connectivity for wireless streaming.

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.

Separate PCBs for power, motor control, and phono EQ are placed away from the tonearm with crossover-free wiring. This minimizes distortion of sound.
