 Overview

The TN-400BT is an analog turntable that also allows users to listen to LP records wirelessly via
Bluetooth® headphones & speakers. A die-cast aluminium platter provides accurate rotational
speed while an S-shaped static-balanced aluminum tone-arm provides accurate tracking. The
built-in Phono EQ amplifier enables the TN-400BT to be connected to a conventional hi-fi
amplifier or a micro hi-fi, while a universal-type headshell allows users to change cartridges
with ease.

A built-in Bluetooth® transmitter also lets users listen to LP records wirelessly with high-quality
audio (thanks to the the aptX® and AAC codecs). A USB output, meanwhile, enables users to
digitally archive their records on a PC at 16-bit/48kHz resolution (equivalent to CD quality). For
convenience, a quality Japanese-made moving magnet-type cartridge comes pre-installed, so
users can quickly start enjoying their records without a lengthy set-up procedure.

 Aluminum die-cast platter with 3-speed belt-drive

A die-cast, high-inertia aluminum platter is driven by a
high-torque DC motor via a durable rubber flat-belt, giving
immensely stable playback at 33-1/3, 45 and 78 rpm speeds.

 New low-resistance spindle

A precisely-machined stainless steel spindle and durable brass
bearing maintain accurate rotational speed, thanks to reduced
friction.

 New matt and natural walnut veneer finishes

The TN-400BT is available in four matt finishes, as well as a
natural walnut veneer finish.

 Built-in Phono EQ amplifier

The TN-400BT has an onboard Phono EQ amplifier that supports MM-type cartridges, allowing
the deck to be connected to conventional amplifiers/micro systems that lack a dedicated
turntable input. The Phono EQ amplifier employs a hi-fi quality NJM8080 op-amp chip (designed
by JRC) which amplifies the tiny audio signal from the stylus with the minimum of distortion.

 New subsonic filter for improved sound

By filtering out the frequencies below 18Hz the TN-400BT prevents excess LF signal levels being
sent to amplifiers, presenting an easier electrical load to any connected speakers. This filter is
particularly effective when playing back warped vinyl records which would otherwise induce
undesirable woofer movement (The subsonic filter is off when Phono EQ is THRU).

 USB digital audio output

The TN-400BT also incorporates an A/D Converter that delivers a 16-bit/48kHz resolution
digital audio signal via a rear-mounted USB port. This allows records to be digital archived on
a PC. Once converted, users can then easily transfer the recordings onto devices such as
smartphones and car CD players

 S-shaped static-balanced tone-arm

The S-shaped, static-balanced aluminum tone-arm is equipped with a counterweight and
anti-skating mechanism that allow an exact setting of balance as well as tracking pressure,
ensuring accurate tracking during playback. A tone-arm lifter is also fitted for smooth lowering
