TEAC Audio TN-400BTX Manual Belt-Drive Bluetooth Turntable

TEAC Audio TN‑400BTX

Take your vinyl collection wireless-with the TEAC Audio TN-400BTX belt-drive turntable featuring Bluetooth® aptX® Adaptive streaming and built-in phono preamp for modern, high-resolution analog playback.

Product Description:

The TEAC Audio TN-400BTX is a refined manual belt-drive turntable designed for both analog purists and modern convenience seekers. With speeds for 33 ⅓ rpm, 45 rpm and 78 rpm, it supports standard LPs, EPs and vintage 78-rpm records—a versatile addition to any vinyl setup. 

It incorporates a built-in MM phono EQ amplifier so you can connect to either a dedicated phono input or a standard line-level input thanks to the switchable PHONO/LINE output. 

What sets it apart is the integrated Bluetooth® transmitter, supporting Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive and SBC/AAC codecs, enabling you to stream vinyl playback wirelessly to compatible headphones or speakers without compromising sound quality. 

The tonearm is S-shaped, static-balanced with a universal headshell, and the platter is a high-inertia diecast aluminum design mounted on a low-friction spindle for stable rotation and minimal speed variation. 

Finished in a walnut veneer (or other regional finishes) and built on a high-density MDF plinth with shock-absorbing feet, the TN-400BTX offers both aesthetic elegance and functional isolation for quieter backgrounds and cleaner playback.
