The following sections detail key features, benefits, and technical specifications of the Teac TN-3B Turntable. High-Density MDF Damping Construction The Teac TN-3B comes with a high-density MDF damping construction. The high density not only adds weight, making the turntable stable and less prone to vibrations but also enhances the audio quality. The whole unit is designed to be robust, preventing the injection of motor vibrations, the primary source of noise in turntables, into the platter, thereby preventing distortion and delivering smooth, clear audio. Static-Balanced Straight Tone-arm Accompanying the high-density construction is the static-balanced straight tone-arm. This unique functionality ensures that the needle perfectly traces the audio grooves on the vinyl, minimizing tracking errors and thus, sound distortions. With the anti-skating mechanism of the TN-3B, the weight-bearing down on the needle is expertly managed ensuring better vinyl care and sound reproduction.
