The natural wood-grain TN-300 from Teac is a 2-speed analogue turntable with a built-in MM phono equaliser and USB output. Switchable between phono and line levels, the analogue output allows the unit to be connected to a receiver or amplifier with no phono inputs. The USB output digitises your vinyl records to either a Mac or PC for archiving or playing on your favourite mobile device.
The construction of the TN-300 features a heavy-duty MDF enclosure that minimises unfavourable resonances, while the high inertia aluminium die-cast platter is belt-driven by a high torque DC motor with durable neoprene rubber for stable, accurate rotations. The static balanced straight-type tonearm was chosen for high tracking accuracy and the included Audio-Technica VM-type cartridge provides professional quality sound with clarity and detail. The TN-300 ships with a 45 adapter, a counter weight, a head-shell, a dust-cover, an RCA audio cable, a USB cable, and an AC adapter.
