Blending legendary engineering with modern style and convenience for today’s vinyl enthusiasts
Technics announces the introduction of the new SL-40CBT Direct Drive Turntable at this year’s annual IFA in Berlin. This latest model continues the iconic Technics legacy while introducing a fresh contemporary design and convenient new features aimed at both Hi-Fi users and modern home audio lovers.
The SL-40CBT maintains the classic Technics turntable characteristics, such as the iron-coreless direct drive motor and the high-precision S-shaped aluminum tonearm, while evolving in a new, sleek design and useability to meet the expectations of today’s vinyl enthusiasts. Aimed at both newcomers and those upgrading from entry set ups, the turntable integrates seamlessly into stylish modern interiors, offering high quality performance, simplicity and elegance.
Key features and innovations of the SL-40CBT
Superior sound with plug and play convenience
Factory fitted Audio-Technica AT-VM95C Cartridge
Known for its sonic finesse, the A-VM95C comes pre mounted to offer precise groove tracking and excellent detail retrieval. Its conical stylus ensures wide compatibility with standard phono MM inputs in Hi-Fi amplifiers or separate phono stages.
Built in Phono MM Equalizer
At the same time, the SL-40CBT also offers a built-in, high-quality Phono-MM equalizer, allowing the user to connect it to a music system without using a dedicated Phono input for effortless connection and ultimate usability.
Wireless connectivity for modern living
The SL-40CBT includes Bluetooth® capability, enabling seamless, wireless audio streaming to Bluetooth® compatible speakers and devices – including mobile ones – offering excellent flexibility for placement and playback in any home environment.
Refined Aesthetics for contemporary homes:
Departing from traditional aluminum die-cast chassis designs, the SL-40CBT features a sleek, minimalist MDF wood construction with a high-quality finish. The turntable is available in three modern colours: bold and eye-catching Terracotta, subtle and refined Light Grey or timeless and versatile Charcoal Black.
This new compact form factor not only provides elegant integration into modern interiors but also aligns visually with Technics SC-CX700 Wireless HiFi Speaker System, which is available in matching colours, allowing users to create a coordinated, seamless audio system set up.
Technics Grade Audio Performance
While the design has evolved, Technics has ensured that the SL-40CBT delivers the same premium level performance the brand is renowned for:
Iron coreless Direct Drive Motor delivers stable, accurate rotation with high precision control circuitry, preserving musical authenticity of even the most demanding genres of music.
Die-Cast Aluminum Platter with reinforcing ribs and directly mounted motor magnet ensures reliable torque transmission and accurate drive characteristics.
Newly designed S-shaped aluminum tonearm:
Offers ultra-precise vinyl groove tracking, preserving subtle nuances and musical dynamics of any vinyl recording.
Optimized vibration resistant insulator feet: Allowing for flexible placement the reworked insulator feet are optimally tuned to provide high vibration resistance, enabling the SL-40CBT to be placed in the best environment within the home without sacrificing stability or sound quality.
Environmentally responsible packaging: In line with Technics’ commitment to sustainability, the SL-40CBT ships in environmentally, conscious packaging. Use of plastic has been significantly reduced by replacing polystyrene foam with cardboard based materials, minimizing the environmental footprint while maintaining excellent transport protection.

Soo helpful
The gentleman who helped me in store was fantastic. Patient and knowledgeable about the product. Thanks!
Great set of headphones. So much easier with no cable attached to the DJ system. No latency at all just like as if a cable is used.
Awesome product.
The headphone is simply perfect. As a DJ and producer for over a decade, I can say that it has a very good quality.
Good quality product, very happy with the purchase
Ive been putting off buying these for years. My og ones were thrown in a skip by my dad. Still bitter about that but I'm super happy with this purchase. They look very high quality and obviously make my 1200mk2's look even more fantastic. Hope not to have to buy them again but if I do, it'll be from Mix Foundation. 10/10 🤙🕺
Mike was extremely pleasant to deal with and cordial. Went out of his way to help me with a small and finickity order buying some chroma caps, which indicate to me that the Mix Foundation don't see customers as ATMs but as people. Also they care about what the customer needs and are prepared to put time into finding out, so I would trust them to give honest advice to help people fulfill their djing needs. I would certainly recommend this company!
Value for money is right up there. If you want the fuss-free convenience of a single piece of kit, put this on your list. The dynamics are right in the pocket and not overbearing or woolly at all. Runs my old Tannoy Mercurys beautifully, and the REL sub is almost superfluous.
Very pleasant and knowledgeable people to deal with. Will help out all customers, I was just buying some chroma caps, and Mike was an extremely helpful and pleasant person with this slightly fiddly request. You know if they help their small customers they are genuine people, so they have earned my trust and I would certainly shop with them for a bigger purchase. Thanks bro!
Great service, Super fast delivery, awesome decks. Well happy with my purchase. Thank you.
Order,Delivery, packaging and Product is 100% Quality. Keep it up. Highly recommended. Technics sound really good.
Excellent comfort and sound for the price.
Just picked up the HDJ-F10 wireless headphones and I’m seriously impressed. Sound is crisp with deep bass, and the ultra-low latency wireless is perfect for DJing. Build quality feels solid and they’re super comfortable for long sessions. Totally worth it!
Awesome thank you!
Talked to the staff via phone who advised me on a cheaper and a better suited cover to the SL1200. Really happy with choice of product and (for my needs) a better alternative cover than what I originally was going to order. Great service! However the 2 covers were stacked when packaged and took 20 minutes of separating and stress of breaking. Just a thought for packers when sending. However 5 star product and phone service!
