Teac TN-5BB Turntable

Experience Vinyl Perfection with the TEAC TN-5BB Turntable

Elevate your vinyl listening experience with the TEAC TN-5BB Turntable—a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering. Designed for audiophiles who demand the highest fidelity, the TN-5BB combines cutting-edge technology with meticulous design to deliver sound reproduction that is both authentic and breathtaking.

Hybrid Chassis for Superior Vibration Control

At the heart of the TN-5BB lies a hybrid chassis that combines synthetic marble, washi paper, and MDF materials. This multilayer structure effectively suppresses unwanted vibrations, ensuring that every nuance of your vinyl records is faithfully reproduced. The synthetic marble top plate provides exceptional rigidity, while the MDF baseplate offers high internal loss, working together to isolate the tonearm and motor for unparalleled sound clarity.

Precision Platter Rotation with PRS3

The TN-5BB features TEAC's innovative Platter Rotation Sensing Servo System (PRS3), which utilizes an optical sensor to detect platter rotation speed and automatically adjusts the motor to maintain precise speed control. This belt-drive system supports three speeds—33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM—allowing you to enjoy a wide range of vinyl records with exceptional stability and accuracy.

SAEC × TEAC Knife-Edge Tonearm

Developed in collaboration with SAEC, a renowned Japanese tonearm manufacturer, the TN-5BB's 9-inch S-shaped tonearm employs a stainless-steel knife-edge bearing for vertical movement and high-precision ball bearings for lateral movement. This design ensures reliable tracking and minimizes distortion, allowing you to experience your records as the artists intended.

Ortofon 2M RED Cartridge Included

The TN-5BB comes equipped with a pre-installed Ortofon 2M RED MM cartridge, renowned for its balanced and dynamic sound reproduction. This cartridge is already aligned with the head-shell, enabling you to enjoy your vinyl collection with minimal setup.

Balanced and Unbalanced Output Options

For optimal signal transmission, the TN-5BB offers both XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced analog output connectors. The balanced XLR outputs are ideal for connecting to phono amplifiers that support balanced input, such as the TEAC PE-505, ensuring the highest fidelity in sound reproduction.

Automatic Arm Lifting Mechanism

Enhancing user convenience, the TN-5BB features a powered arm lifter that automatically raises the tonearm at the end of playback using a contactless optical sensor. This function can be disabled when playing records that do not conform to standard specifications.

Elegant Design with Premium Materials

The TN-5BB's aesthetic appeal matches its sonic performance. The piano black MDF base and pearl black synthetic marble top plate exude sophistication, while extruded aluminum components add a touch of luxury. This turntable is not only a high-performance audio device but also a statement piece that complements any listening environment.
