Driven by the Technics Legacy

For decades, Technics’ direct drive has delivered accurate, maintenance-free rotation. This mechanism, which directly spins the platter with strong torque, has evolved to offer even greater precision with a coreless motor that eliminates cogging.

Engineered Precision

While minimizing the tonearm base size, the design inherits the traditional S-shape and ensures high tracking performance via micron-level precision engineering.

Intelligence Behind the Spin

Digital Control Digital control elevates rotation accuracy to the highest level through (1)precise speed detection, (2)Per-unit calibration during production, and (3)digitally optimised motor drive signals.

Eco-friendly Package

The SL-40CBT uses eco-friendly packaging by replacing styrene foam cushioning with cardboard to reduce marine plastic waste.
