Overview

Our take on the TEAC TN400S-SOWA by Crutchfield's Eric Angevine

We just love a design that's stylish and practical, and the TEAC TN-400S is a good example of that. It's beautiful to look at, with a gorgeous wood finish, precision-milled aluminum controls, and a graceful S-shaped tonearm.

The TEAC TN-400 provides RCAs to connect to your amp and speakers, and a USB port for archiving your favorite tracks in digital form.

The TEAC TN-400-SOWA provides RCA output to connect to your amp or powered speakers, and a USB port lets you digitize your favorite tracks for archiving on your computer.

This analog turntable thrives in a digital world

On the practical side, the built-in phono preamp allows you to connect directly to just about any amplifier or receiver, and a dedicated USB output makes it easy to transfer your albums to your Mac® or Windows® PC for digital archiving. Once you save your favorite classic tunes to your hard drive, they're ready to go with you on your smartphone or other portable listening device.

Upgraded cartridge

The included, pre-mounted Sumiko Oyster cartridge is an instant upgrade over a standard entry-level model. It delivers a smooth, refined sound that'll bring out the best in your cherished vinyl collection, with an expanded frequency response of 30-20,000 Hz and excellent stereo separation.

Hear music, not noise

It's truly impressive how much clever engineering goes into something so pretty to look at. Under the turntable's polished exterior is a heavy MDF base designed to resist external vibration. The turntable's dense die-cast aluminum platter spins on a polished stainless steel spindle and bronze bushing that minimize friction for smooth, silent rotation. Its variable-speed belt-drive system isolates motor vibration, and its ability to play 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm discs will delight serious vinyl collectors. The curved aluminum tonearm — equipped with a pre-mounted moving-magnet cartridge — ensures super-accurate tracking and satisfying, rich tonal accuracy.

Enjoy soulful vinyl sound with minimal setup

You want to spend as little time possible setting up your system so you can get to the joy of listening. That's why the TN-400S comes out of the box virtually ready to play. Its factory-mounted phono cartridge and tonearm take the guesswork out of installation, and give you optimized sound quality with minimal effort. A few simple steps to dial in key settings like tracking force and anti-skating are all it takes to get this 'table primed and ready to go.
