Technics SL-40CBT (Grey)

Platter & Isolation You Can Trust

Stability at Its Core

A hefty 1.26kg die-cast aluminium platter, reinforced with ribs and backed by a directly mounted motor magnet, ensures rotation stays rock solid with precise torque control.

Underneath, custom-tuned insulators absorb unwanted vibrations and shift resonance out of the audible range, so all you hear is the music.

Every Detail Designed for Better Sound

Built with Precision

From the iconic S-shaped tonearm to the pre-fitted Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge, the SL-40CBT is engineered to get the best from your records.

The tonearm tracks grooves with pinpoint accuracy, while the cartridge and tuned phono EQ deliver clean, balanced sound straight out of the box. 

Decades of Direct-Drive Expertise

Technics Heritage

Technics has been perfecting direct-drive technology since the 1970s. By powering the platter directly with a high-torque motor, speed stays rock steady without the maintenance belts usually require.

The SL-40CBT uses a coreless motor that eliminates cogging, so your records spin smoother and more precisely than ever before.

Crafted To Fit Your Space

Natural Design

With a plinth built from MDF, a material chosen for its dense, layered fibres. Not only does the SL-40CBT look refined, it also helps to absorb vibration naturally, giving the deck a warm, solid feel.

It’s a design that blends in beautifully with your home while quietly elevating your setup.
