ELEGANT. INNOVATIVE. POWERFUL SOUND.

Features

• Powerful direct drive motor
• TP 160 tonearm with cutting bearing
• Electronic tonearm lift
• Innovative platter design 
• Integrated stroboscope
• With pitch control
• Height-adjustable & spring-loaded feet
• RCA & XLR connections

High-end technology in detail

Another highlight is the redesigned electronic tone arm lift (e-Lift) with auto-stop function, which not only offers ease of use but also reduces wear on the stylus and record.

The innovative platter design impresses with its modern styling and sophisticated resonance damping – complemented by an integrated stroboscope with pitch control that allows precise fine-tuning of the speed.

Three height-adjustable, spring-loaded feet ensure stable positioning and effective decoupling, while the solid sandwich-construction plinth – including a 5 mm thick aluminum top plate – gives the drive exceptional resonance reduction and visual presence.

Connection versatility for the highest demands

The rear of the TD 404 DD offers a wide range of connections: In addition to high-quality gold-plated RCA outputs, balanced XLR connections are also available – ideal for connecting to sophisticated hi-fi chains. A removable cover is also included in the scope of delivery.

The TPN 124 linear power supply is available as an option, unlocking the full sonic potential of the TD 404 DD with its particularly clean power supply
