Our TEAC turntable range

Bluetooth® TEAC turntables

Enjoy the ultimate convenience of cable-free listening with a built-in Bluetooth® transmitter so you can place your record player anywhere in a room. Instead of dealing with messy cables or amplifier setups, you can stream directly to wireless speakers and even headphones. Models like the TEAC TN-180BT Cherry Wood Bluetooth Turntable can connect to a Bluetooth®-enabled device in a matter of seconds.

TEAC analogue turntables

TEAC analogue models still come with sophisticated features. The TEAC TN-175 Black Turntable has an automatic tone arm that moves and returns to its original position with the click of a button. It has a classic, versatile design and comes ready to play straight from the box. If you don't need built-in Bluetooth®, it's a great cost-effective option.

Walnut TEAC turntables

Have a larger budget? The walnut TEAC turntables offer added luxury. With stable rotation from its aluminium die-cast platter and a supersonic filter, the TEAC TN-280BT Walnut Bluetooth Turntable is a popular choice. The TAEC TN-400BT Walnut Bluetooth Turntable comes with machined aluminium operation knobs and feet, as well as an S-shaped static-balanced tone-arm. This enables accurate tracking during playback and helps protect your vinyl. Both models have a high-density MDF cabinet with a chic walnut finish, which also reduces vibration-induced noise for a better listening experience.

FAQs about our TEAC turntable products

How do I connect a TEAC Bluetooth® turntable to a speaker or headphones?

Start by turning on your wireless speaker or headphones and putting the device into Pairing Mode. Then, press and hold the Bluetooth button on your TEAC turntable. Once the flashing light turns solid blue, it means your devices have paired successfully – and you can go ahead and play your vinyl.

Why do the available TEAC turntables vary in price?

The price differences come down to several factors, mostly centred around sound quality and the overall listening experience. A higher-density MDF cabinet can impact vibration levels, while a low-resistance, high-accuracy spindle can reduce mechanical rumble and help your equipment last longer. Built-in features like Bluetooth® can also increase a turntable's value by offering endless placement options in the home.

What is the difference between belt-drive and direct drive turntables?

With a belt-drive turntable, an elastic belt connects the motor to the platter, causing it to turn the record and play it. It's ideal for low-maintenance listening in the home. Eventually, the belt will need to be replaced.

If you plan to use a turntable for DJing, a direct-drive model is a better choice. They don't have a belt, and they offer greater speed, stability and a higher torque – which means you can bring in the next song at the exact right time. Not having a belt also means you don't need to think about replacing it later down the line.
