Technics SL-40C
The SL-40C is the SL-40CBT without the Bluetooth: the same compact cabinet, the same coreless direct drive motor and the same built-in phono equaliser, with an Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge fitted and ready to play. For a system that is wired anyway, it is the more direct of the two.
- Coreless direct drive motor for high-precision, maintenance-free rotation
- Digital control of the drive signal for maximum rotation accuracy
- Built-in phono equaliser — connect straight to active speakers or any line input
- Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge supplied, mounted in the head shell
- Traditional S-shaped tonearm, 230 mm effective length
- Compact cabinet, 430 mm wide, in black with a warm natural texture
