Direct-Drive System for Stable Playback

At the heart of the TD 402 DD is its direct-drive system, which offers exceptionally stable playback with low noise and smooth operation. Unlike belt-driven models, the direct-drive motor ensures consistent speeds without the need for frequent maintenance or belt replacement. This makes the TD 402 DD an ideal choice for audiophiles who want reliable, high-fidelity sound. The turntable supports playback speeds of 33⅓ and 45 RPM, which can be selected electronically, offering flexibility for various vinyl formats.

Premium TP 72 Tonearm and AT VM95 E Cartridge

The TP 72 tonearm features a carbon fiber tonearm tube, which reduces unwanted resonances, ensuring clean and accurate playback. This lightweight yet rigid tonearm is fitted with an Audio-Technica AT VM95 E cartridge, which comes pre-installed in a detachable headshell for added convenience. The combination of the TP 72 tonearm and AT VM95 E cartridge provides detailed sound reproduction, enhancing the listening experience and ensuring that the TD 402 DD delivers an outstanding audio performance straight out of the box.

Built-In Switchable Phono Preamp

The TD 402 DD includes a switchable phono preamplifier, giving users the option to connect it directly to powered speakers or amplifiers without a dedicated phono input. The integrated preamp can be easily turned off, allowing users to pair the turntable with an external preamp if desired. This flexibility makes the TD 402 DD compatible with a wide range of audio systems, providing versatility for both beginner and advanced listeners.

Automatic Start and Stop for User Convenience

To enhance user convenience, the TD 402 DD is equipped with automatic start and stop functions. The turntable begins playback as soon as the tonearm is moved into position, and it automatically stops at the end of the record, preserving the stylus and ensuring a hassle-free experience. For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, these automatic functions can also be disabled, making the TD 402 DD adaptable to various user preferences.

High-Quality Build with Elegant Design

The Thorens TD 402 DD features a durable aluminum platter, damped to minimize resonance and enhance sound clarity. The high-gloss black finish gives it a modern, sophisticated look that complements any listening space. Its robust build quality, combined with the elegant design, makes the TD 402 DD a standout piece in any home audio setup. The turntable also includes a dust cover, rubber mat, and external power supply to ensure optimal performance and protection for years to come.
