Product Description

The TEAC TN-400BT-X is a manual belt-drive turntable that blends classic analog performance with modern Bluetooth connectivity, perfect for vinyl enthusiasts seeking both tradition and versatility. Its high-torque DC motor and die-cast aluminum platter ensure stable rotation at 33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM, delivering warm, detailed sound. The S-shaped, static-balanced aluminum tonearm, paired with a pre-installed Audio-Technica AT95E MM cartridge, provides accurate tracking and rich playback. A built-in NJM8080 phono EQ amplifier allows connection to standard amplifiers or powered speakers, while Bluetooth with Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive codec streams high-quality audio to wireless headphones or speakers. The high-density MDF plinth with walnut veneer, shock-absorbing aluminum feet, and gold-plated RCA terminals minimize vibrations and signal loss, reflecting TEAC’s 70-year legacy of audio excellence.

Key Features

Belt-Drive System: High-torque DC motor with rubber flat-belt and die-cast aluminum platter ensures stable rotation, low wow-and-flutter (0.2%), and support for 33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM (78 RPM requires compatible stylus, e.g., Audio-Technica VM670SP, sold separately).
S-Shaped Tonearm: Static-balanced, 223mm aluminum tonearm with counterweight, anti-skating mechanism, and tonearm lifter ensures precise tracking; universal headshell supports cartridge weights of 14–18g (including headshell).
Pre-Installed Cartridge: Audio-Technica AT95E MM cartridge (3.5 mV, 2.0g tracking force, ~300-hour stylus life) delivers dynamic, musical sound with a lightweight aluminum cantilever.
Built-In Phono EQ Amplifier: NJM8080 op-amp boosts phono signals to line level (155 mV, –16 dBV), with switchable PHONO/LINE output for connection to amplifiers or active speakers without a phono stage.
Bluetooth Connectivity: Version 5.2 with Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive, aptX™, AAC, and SBC codecs for high-quality, low-latency wireless streaming to Bluetooth headphones or speakers (up to 8 paired devices, 1 active, ~30' range).
Vibration Control: High-density MDF plinth with multi-layer lacquer or walnut veneer, decoupled aluminum/rubber feet, and felt mat reduce resonance for clear playback.
Gold-Plated Terminals: RCA outputs and tonearm contacts minimize signal loss, with an integrated ground wire for hum-free operation.
Elegant Design: Available in natural walnut veneer with machined aluminum knobs and a detachable acrylic dust cover.
Easy Setup: Pre-installed cartridge and tonearm simplify assembly, with adjustable counterweight and anti-skating for quick calibration.

Why Choose the TEAC TN-400BT-X?

The TN-400BT-X delivers a rich, analog soundstage ideal for jazz, classical, and rock, with the AT95E cartridge offering excellent detail for its class. Its direct-drive alternative, the TN-4D-SE, provides slightly better speed stability, but the TN-400BT-X’s belt-drive system excels in reducing motor noise, appealing to purists. Bluetooth streaming with aptX™ Adaptive adds modern flexibility, while the built-in phono stage simplifies connections. The robust, vibration-resistant build and stylish walnut or matte finishes make it a standout in mid-range turntables, offering audiophile-grade performance for beginners and seasoned listeners alike.
