Enjoy high-quality vinyl playback and simple setup with the walnut TN-4D-SE Manual Two-Speed Direct Drive Turntable from Teac. The TN-4D-SE is a direct-drive turntable with a low-profile design, made possible by the use of Teac's brushless DC servo motor. It features an S-shaped tonearm designed in collaboration with high-end tonearm manufacturer SAEC. The replaceable headshell comes preinstalled with the well-regarded Oyster MM cartridge from SUMIKO, allowing for an easy, straightforward setup. For more advanced playback, the interchangeable headshell, adjustable counterweight, and antiskate mechanism allow this turntable to be set up to accommodate a wide variety of headshell, cartridge, and stylus combinations. With a built-in, switchable, high-quality MM phono EQ amplifier, the TN-4D-SE can be connected to phono or line-level inputs, making it compatible with most wired sound systems.
Tonearm from SAEC
The TN-4D-SE's tonearm from SAEC employs a knife-edge pivot-point bearing. Unlike the case for tonearms with conventional bearings, any fine vertical movements that take place in this tonearm actually help deliver 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 the tonearm supports a wide range of cartridge weights (14 to 23g / 0.5 to 0.8 oz.).
Additionally, the static-balanced S-shaped tonearm is equipped with a counterweight for precise stylus-pressure adjustment and an antiskate mechanism for accurate tracking-force adjustment, allowing the cartridge to accurately play any quality vinyl disc.
Preinstalled Oyster Cartridge by SUMIKO
The TN-4D-SE comes with a well-regarded Oyster MM cartridge from SUMIKO—a legendary American cartridge manufacturer. The Oyster cartridge delivers a powerful soundstage, regardless of what music you pick. A conventional moving magnet cartridge with a rugged spherical stylus and alloy cantilever—it's a perfect match for any MM preamp. For nearly 40 years, SUMIKO has provided a fine array of phono cartridges to discriminating analog enthusiasts around the world.
Built-In MM Phono Stage EQ
The TN-4D-SE incorporates an MM-type phono EQ amplifier, allowing you to connect the turntable to an audio system that lacks a phono input. A low-distortion hi-fi grade op-amp, the NJM8080 IC, is employed to boost low-level signals from the phono cartridge to line level without any loss of quality.
Reduced Vibration
The insulating feet comprise a machined-aluminum shell, topped with a rubber cushion that is fixed to the high-density MDF plinth. Thanks to excellent shock absorption characteristics of these feet, the TN-4D-SE is very resistant to acoustic feedback.
