Description
The TEAC TN-400BT-X/TB Turntable is a striking limited colour edition finished in a vibrant turquoise blue lacquer, designed to bring both visual impact and refined analogue performance to modern listening spaces. Built around a high-density MDF plinth, the cabinet offers excellent rigidity and vibration damping while maintaining a slim, compact footprint that fits comfortably into any room.
The beautifully glossed finish is complemented by precision-machined aluminium knobs and feet, delivering a premium tactile experience. Combining contemporary styling with classic hi-fi engineering, this model reimagines traditional vinyl playback for today’s listener, offering the perfect balance between timeless analogue charm and modern wireless convenience.
Stable 3-Speed Belt-Drive Performance
At its core, the TEAC TN-400BT-X/TB Turntable features a high-inertia aluminium die-cast platter driven by a high-torque DC motor via a durable flat rubber belt. Supporting 33⅓, 45 and 78 RPM speeds, it provides versatility for a wide range of record formats. A newly designed low-resistance stainless steel spindle and precision brass bearing reduce friction, ensuring accurate rotational stability and consistent speed control.
With wow and flutter rated at just 0.2% and a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 67dB (A-weighted), playback remains smooth and controlled. This refined mechanical design allows records to be reproduced with clarity, dynamic stability and the authentic character that vinyl enthusiasts expect.
Bluetooth® with Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive
Bringing wireless freedom to analogue playback, the TEAC TN-400BT-X/TB Turntable incorporates a built-in Bluetooth® 5.2 transmitter supporting SBC, Qualcomm® aptX™ and Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive codecs. This enables high-quality, low-latency wireless streaming directly to compatible Bluetooth® headphones or speakers. Even without a traditional hi-fi system, users can enjoy their vinyl collection with impressive sound fidelity and convenience.
Pairing is simple, managed via a single-function button and LED indicator for clear connection status. The advanced aptX™ Adaptive codec dynamically adjusts performance for optimal audio quality, ensuring detailed and responsive playback while maintaining the warmth and character of analogue records.
Built-In Phono EQ for Flexible Connectivity
For seamless integration into any system, the TEAC TN-400BT-X/TB Turntable includes a built-in Phono EQ amplifier compatible with MM-type cartridges. This allows direct connection to amplifiers, active speakers or micro systems that lack a dedicated phono input. The circuit utilises a hi-fi quality NJM8080 op-amp from JRC, carefully chosen to amplify the delicate cartridge signal with minimal distortion.
Users can switch between PHONO and LINE outputs via gold-plated RCA terminals, while a dedicated ground terminal ensures proper grounding when required. This flexibility makes the TN-400BT-X/TB equally suitable for traditional wired systems or modern minimalist setups.
Precision S-Shaped Tonearm & AT95E Cartridge
The static-balanced S-shaped aluminium tonearm is engineered for accurate tracking and smooth operation. Equipped with an adjustable counterweight and anti-skating mechanism, it allows precise setting of tracking force between 0g and 5g for optimal cartridge performance. A tonearm lifter ensures gentle lowering onto records, protecting both stylus and vinyl.
The universal headshell design makes cartridge changes straightforward, while gold-plated contacts minimise signal loss. Pre-installed is the respected Audio-Technica AT95E MM cartridge, featuring an aluminium cantilever and joint-oval stylus for balanced, musical playback. This ready-to-use configuration ensures users can begin enjoying their records immediately with dependable sound quality.
Refined Construction & Thoughtful Details
Every element of the TEAC TN-400BT-X/TB Turntable reflects careful attention to detail. The floating construction employs height-adjustable aluminium feet with shock-absorbing rubber to resist feedback and isolate vibrations. Corrosion-resistant gold-plated RCA terminals and tonearm contacts maintain long-term signal integrity.
The package includes a felt mat, EP adapter, dust cover with hinges, counterweight and RCA cable with ground wiring, ensuring complete setup out of the box. Measuring 420 x 117 x 356mm and weighing 4.9kg, the TN-400BT-X/TB delivers robust performance in a stylish, compact form. It is a compelling choice for listeners seeking classic vinyl sound with modern wireless versatility.
