Technics has taken the lid off a brand new turntable at IFA 2025. The new Technics SL-40CBT combines the Japanese brand's proprietary direct drive turntable design with a fresh contemporary design and convenient features, aimed at "today’s vinyl enthusiasts."
The SL-40CBT's direct drive design features its customary iron core-less motor that helps with rotation stability and accuracy, a technology that is also found in the brand's more premium models, such as the five-star SL-1300G.
