With the areas of speed stability and tracking covered, it then adds a pre-mounted audio-technical MM cartridge, built-in MM phono preamplifier with subsonic filter, and USB digital output for computer-based archiving to address convenience and flexibility. Most importantly, TN-400S sounds even better than it looks.

Aluminum Die-Cast Platter Features Three-Speed Drive, Stable Playback TN-400S' die-cast, high-inertia aluminum platter is driven by a high-torque DC motor via a durable rubber flat-belt, giving immensely stable playback at 33-1/3, 45, and 78RPM speeds. In addition, a precisely machined stainless steel spindle and durable brass bearing maintain accurate rotational speed, thanks to reduced friction. Built-In Phono EQ Amplifier Gives You Immense Flexibility An onboard Phono EQ amplifier supports MM cartridges, allowing TN-400S to be connected to conventional amplifiers/micro systems that lack a dedicated turntable input. The Phono EQ amplifier employs a hi-fi quality NJM8080 op-amp chip that amplifies the tiny audio signal from the stylus with the minimum of distortion. Subsonic Filter and A2D Converter Add to Arsenal By filtering out the frequencies below 18Hz, TN-400S prevents excess low-frequency signal levels being sent to amplifiers,
