It uses a very stable direct drive motor,
classical design turntable with knife edge bearings
DESCRIPTION
Sleek Direct-Drive Motor
The TN-4D-SE is powered by an advanced brushless DC motor , developed exclusively for direct-drive turntables. This motor provides crystal-locked speed accuracy , regulated by a computer-controlled feedback circuit to achieve low wow-and-flutter levels — a rare achievement for such a stylish, low-profile design .
Knife-Edge, Pivot-Point Tonearm Bearings
In collaboration with SAEC Corporation , a world-renowned manufacturer of high-end tonearms, the TN-4D-SE uses knife-edge, pivot-point bearings in its tonearm. Unlike conventional tonearm bearings, these fine vertical movements enhance dynamic sound quality , delivering excellent resolution. The S-shaped tonearm also features a universal headshell fitting , enabling quick and easy cartridge/headshell swaps and supporting a wide range of cartridge weights ( 14 - 23g / 0.5 - 0.8 oz. ).
Precision Anti-Skating & Stylus-Pressure Adjustment
The tonearm comes equipped with a counterweight for precise stylus-pressure adjustment and an anti-skating mechanism , ensuring optimal tracking across your records.
Pre-Installed SUMIKO Oyster Cartridge
The TN-4D-SE includes a highly regarded Oyster MM cartridge by SUMIKO , a legendary American cartridge manufacturer. Whether you're listening to rock, jazz, or classical, the Oyster cartridge delivers a powerful yet nuanced performance.
Built-In PHONO EQ Amplifier
This turntable comes with a built-in PHONO EQ amplifier , supporting MM cartridges . It allows you to connect the TN-4D-SE directly to the line-level inputs of your existing hi-fi system. The NJM8080 IC from New Japan Radio Corporation is employed as the operational amplifier, amplifying the tiny signals from the cartridge to LINE level without compromising sound quality.
Die-Cast Aluminum Platter
Paired with the newly developed motor, the die-cast aluminum platter with high inertia ensures improved speed stability , reducing rotational inconsistencies.
Insulating Feet with Shock Absorption
The TN-4D-SE's insulating feet feature a machined aluminum shell topped with a rubber cushion , attached to a high-density MDF plinth. These feet provide excellent shock absorption , protecting the turntable from unwanted vibrations and acoustic feedback .
2-Speed Turntable for 33-⅓ and 45 RPM
The TN-4D-SE supports playback speeds of 33-⅓ and 45 rpm , perfect for both LP and EP records. The rotary control for startup and speed selection is crafted from machined aluminum , reflecting the turntable's high-quality construction and engineering.
