The TN-3B-SE is a stylish, elegant-looking belt turntable with a built-in MM-type PHONO EQ amplifier.
It uses a new crutch with knife-edge, pivot point bearings, developed in collaboration with high-end crutch manufacturer SAEC, for exceptional stability and resolution. Meanwhile, the belt drive mechanism helps to smooth out any unwanted cogging (ie fine pulsations) caused by the motor to ensure precise and smooth platter rotation. The TN-3B-SE also uses Audio-technica's VM-type cartridge AT-VM95E, and the built-in Phono EQ amplifier uses a high-precision optical amplifier NJM8080, so the user can enjoy the sound of vinyl records with low distortion and high quality.
The TN-3B-SE delivers natural and well-balanced sound quality, and it's quick and easy to set up and start listening. We believe it sets a new standard that will satisfy the needs of audiophiles and avid record collectors alike.
DESCRIPTION
A sleek motor, developed exclusively for direct-drive turntables
The TN-4D-SE uses a sleek, brushless DC motor, offering crystal-locked speed accuracy, regulated by a computer-controlled feedback circuit and achieving low wow-and-flutter levels for a direct drive turntable, especially one with such a stylish , low-profile design.
Knife-edge, pivot-point tone-arm bearings
In collaboration with SAEC Corporation, a world-famous, high-end tonearm manufacturer, the TN-4D-SE's tonearm employs a knife-edge, pivot-point bearing. Unlike the case for tonearms with conventional bearings, any fine vertical movements encountered by this tonearm actually help in delivering a more dynamic sound with excellent resolution. The S-shaped tonearm also employs a universal headshell fitting, allowing users to quickly and easily swap cartridges/headshells, and supports a wide range of cartridge weights (from 14 - 23g / 0.5 - 0.8 oz.)
Pre-installed Oyster cartridge by SUMIKO
The TN-4D-SE comes with a well-regarded Oyster MM cartridge from SUMIKO – a legendary American cartridge manufacturer. Regardless of the type of music, the Oyster cartridge delivers a powerful but insightful performance.
Built-in PHONO EQ amplifier supporting MM cartridges
The TN-4D-SE comes with a built-in PHONO EQ amplifier that allows you to directly connect the turntable to the line-level inputs of your existing hi-fi system. The NJM8080 IC from New Japan Radio Corporation is employed for op-amp duties, bringing up the level of the tiny signals received via the cartridge up to LINE level strength without any loss of quality.
Die-cast aluminum platter
In conjunction with the newly-developed motor, the high inertia, die-cast aluminum platter helps to achieve better speed stability.
Insulating feet with excellent shock absorption
The insulating feet comprise a machined aluminum shell topped with a rubber cushion that is fixed to the high-density MDF plinth. Thanks to their excellent shock absorption characteristics, the TN-4D-SE is very resistant to acoustic feedback.
2-speed turntable for 33-⅓ and 45 rpm
The TN-4D-SE supports 33-⅓ and 45 rpm for LP and EP records. Our insistence on quality engineering can even be seen in the construction of the rotary control for start-up/speed selection, made of machined aluminum.
