TEAC TN-5B Belt Drive Turntable

$
Product Code: TEA0000000
This analog turntable, which supports MC balanced output, features a hybrid chassis that combines synthetic marble, washi paper and MDF materials along with a 9-inch S-shaped universal arm that utilizes a knife-edge bearing.

Turntables are the stages for drawing out the passion of the artists and the magic of their engineers that have been infused into records. With jet black synthetic marble and MDF finished in piano black, the TN-5BB is a truly worthy stage that achieves both functional suppression of unwanted vibrations as well a stately and modern design.

Using the built-in XLR jacks to team up with a phono amplifier that supports balanced connection, the slightest signals transmitted by the cartridge can be re-created with even greater intensity.

The knife-edge tone arm, which is an SAEC×TEAC collaboration, is another component that further enhances this musical stage. The 20mm thick acrylic platter is driven by our original Platter Rotation Sensing Servo System (PRS3).

Are you ready to experience the sound the artists and engineers really wanted you to hear?

• World-Class SAEC knife-edge tonearm, wired for both single-ended and balanced configured phono preamps; 6mm VTA adjustment.
• XLR balanced output connectors are optimal for balanced MC transmission
• 20mm thick Acrylic platter for non-reflective needle-chatter.
• Arm lead wire uses PC-Triple C material made by SAEC
• Platter speed is optically read and servo-controls DC motor for optimal rotational speed.
• Sandwich plinth of Marble-Washi Paper-MDF for optimum resonance control
• Hybrid chassis with multi-material makeup suppresses unwanted vibrations
• PRS3 belt drive structure supports accurate and stable platter rotation
• Automatic arm lifting when playback ends
• Ortofon 2M RED included as standard MM cartridge
• Attractive design contrasts the combination of pearl black and piano black with silver parts
