TEAC has announced the release of the TN-400BT X/TB, a special limited-edition version of its popular Bluetooth-enabled belt-drive turntable series. Dressed in a bold, glossy Turquoise Blue lacquer finish, this eye-catching model combines vintage analog charm with modern wireless convenience and high-end engineering—available for a limited time only.
The TN-400BT X/TB retains all the performance strengths that have made the TN-400BT series a favorite among vinyl enthusiasts, while introducing a vibrant new aesthetic crafted from high-density MDF for exceptional rigidity and vibration damping. The Turquoise Blue gloss lacquer cabinet is complemented by precision-machined aluminum knobs, gold-plated RCA terminals, and floating decoupled feet, creating a turntable that is as visually striking as it is sonically capable.
Belt-drive system
At the heart of the design is a belt-drive system powered by a DC motor, driving a high-inertia aluminum die-cast platter at 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm. A low-friction spindle with brass bearing ensures stable rotational accuracy (wow & flutter ≤0.2%), while the S-shaped static-balanced tonearm—with adjustable counterweight, anti-skating, and gold-plated universal headshell contacts—delivers precise tracking and natural analog reproduction. An Audio-Technica AT95E moving magnet cartridge comes pre-installed, allowing users to start enjoying their vinyl collection immediately.
Bluetooth 5.2 transmitter
A standout feature is the built-in Bluetooth 5.2 transmitter, supporting Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, aptX, and SBC codecs for high-quality, low-latency wireless streaming to compatible headphones and speakers. One-touch pairing and an LED indicator simplify connectivity, with the ability to store up to eight paired devices.
For wired setups, the turntable includes a high-fidelity built-in phono equalizer based on the NJM8080 op-amp, with a switchable LINE/PHONO output via gold-plated RCA jacks. This allows easy connection to virtually any audio system—even those without a dedicated phono input.
“TEAC continues to bridge the gap between classic vinyl playback and contemporary lifestyles,” the company stated. “The TN-400BT X/TB Limited Edition brings premium analog performance, versatile Bluetooth wireless capability, and now a truly distinctive Turquoise Blue finish that makes a bold statement in any listening space.”
