An Authentic Belt Drive Analog Turntable with XLR Balanced Output. This analog turntable, which supports MC balanced output, features a hybrid chassis that combines synthetic marble, washi paper and MDF materials along with a 9-inch S-shaped universal arm that utilizes a knife-edge bearing.Turntables are the stages for drawing out the passion of the artists and the magic of their engineers that have been infused into records. With jet black synthetic marble and MDF finished in piano black, the TN-5BB is a truly worthy stage that achieves both functional suppression of unwanted vibrations as well a stately and modern design.Using the built-in XLR jacks to team up with a phono amplifier that supports balanced connection, the slightest signals transmitted by the cartridge can be re-created with even greater intensity.The knife-edge tone arm, which is an SAEC×TEAC collaboration, is another component that further enhances this musical stage. The 20mm thick acrylic platter is driven by our original Platter Rotation Sensing Servo System (PRS3).
