A high-performance belt-drive analog turntable with XLR outputs the TEAC TN-5BB turntable delivers precision sound for your favorite records.FeaturesHybrid chassisKnife-edge tonearm is an SAEC x TEAC collaborationXLR balanced outputPRS3 belt drive structure supports accurate and stable rotationAutomatic arm lift functionOrtofon 2M Red MM cartridge includedHybrid Chassis with Multi-Material Makeup Suppresses Unwanted VibrationsThe chassis has a multilayer structure combining a heavy 36mm MDF baseplate with high internal loss and a 12mm synthetic marble with outstanding rigidity. (The weight of the cabinet is 8.8kg.) Great feedback resistance has been realized with this excellent rigidity and vibration suppression. The tonearm and platter are mounted on the synthetic marble top plate while the motor which causes vibration is mounted to the MDF base plate. These separate structures using these materials as dampers isolate the tonearm and motor from each other. An overall structure with outstanding stillness has been realized that reduces the transmission of vibrations from the motor to the tonearm.PRS3 Belt Drive Structure Supports Accurate and Stable Platter RotationIdeally once started platter rotation would continue by its own weight and inertia but this is impossible of course. The TN-5BB uses the belt drive method with a flat belt that transmits the power of the DC motor to the outer circumference of the platter. An optical sensor in the bottom of the platter detects the platter rotation speed and an automatic rotation adjustment mechanism applies a servo to the motor in response. This Platter Rotation Sensing Servo System (PRS3) realizes high rotation precision that would be difficult to achieve with just inertia and a motor. Supporting three speeds 33-1/3 45 and 78 rpm this turntable can playback old records as well as 78rpm recor

Technics SL-1200GME Grand Master Edition Direct Drive Turntable Offers Reference-Class Stability and Smoothness, Plus Irresistible Looks and Adjustment Option

This semi-automatic direct-drive turntable elevates vinyl listening with a refined end-of-side tonearm lift that raises the arm and stops the motor automatically. A J-shaped aluminum tonearm with adjustable VTA and subcounterweight supports a wide range of cartridges, while the included elliptical stylus delivers clear channel separation and low distortion. The speed-sensor system and low-torque DC servo motor maintain precise rotation across 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM playback. A rubber-damped, die-cast aluminum platter with mat, rigid MDF plinth, internal power supply, and height-adjustable feet work together to minimize resonance, noise, and vibration for confident, detailed performance.

Vinyl audio has authenticity that digital can’t compete with, but you can’t argue with the convenience of modern wireless speakers either. With the Insignia Bluetooth Stereo Turntable, you can enjoy old school music using the latest technology. The turntable’s manual belt-drive design plays your 33-1/3 and 45 rpm 12-inch records. Its adjustable counterweight and magnet cartridge provide reliable tracking and a rich sound that help you lose yourself in the music. Connect a Bluetooth speaker wirelessly to make your music portable, or plug in your tried-and-true wired speakers with one simple connection. After your record is done playing, the turntable will turn off automatically and the detachable cover shields your turntable when it’s not in use. Music holds a lot of memories, and it can also create new ones. Make them count with this Insignia Bluetooth turntable.
