Technics unveiled the new SL-40CBT and SL-50C direct drive turntables to continue their iconic legacy while introducing a fresh contemporary design and convenient new features, aimed at both Hi-Fi users and modern home audio lovers.
According to the press release, the new models maintain the classic Technics turntable characteristics, such as the iron-coreless direct drive motor and the high-precision S-shaped aluminum tonearm, while evolving in a new, sleek design and usability to meet the expectations of today’s vinyl enthusiasts. Aimed at both newcomers and those upgrading from entry set ups, the turntable integrates seamlessly into stylish modern interiors, offering high quality performance, simplicity and elegance.
The SL-40CBT features an Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge with a built in Phono MM preamplifier and offers wireless connectivity through Bluetooth capability, while the SL-50C is factory fitted with an Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge and offers 33,45 and 78 RPM capability.
Both SL-40CBT and SL-50C offer refined aesthetics for contemporary homes. Departing from traditional aluminum die-cast chassis designs, both models feature a sleek, minimalist MDF wood construction with a high-quality finish and are available in three modern colors: bold and eye-catching Terracotta, subtle and refined Light Grey or timeless and versatile Charcoal Black.
The new compact form factor not only provides elegant integration into modern interiors but also aligns visually with Technics SC-CX700 Wireless Hi-Fi Speaker System, which is available in similar matching colors, allowing users to create a coordinated, seamless audio system set up, the company says.
Both models use Technics' iron coreless direct drive motor, a die-cast aluminum platter and a newly designed S-shaped aluminum tonearm and feature optimized vibration resistant insulator feet.
