{"product_id":"thor-td1600-dd","title":"Thorens TD 1600 Turntable with TP160 Tonearm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Thorens TD 1600 blends classic heritage with modern 21st-century turntable technology. While evoking the iconic classic 160 series with its traditional wooden plinth, two-part aluminium platter, thick rubber mat, and acrylic dust cover, it incorporates significant mechanical innovations beneath the surface. Featuring a spring-stabilized sub-chassis and an external linear power supply, this model comes equipped with the high-end 9-inch Thorens TP 160 knife-edge bearing tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to traditional gold-plated RCA outputs, the TD 1600 includes true balanced XLR outputs. Because low-level phono signals are highly susceptible to noise and electrical interference, the balanced XLR signal path—when paired with a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge—ensures ultra-low noise transmission and optimal signal clarity to your phono preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring-Stabilized Sub-Chassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suspended sub-chassis mounted on three conical springs to isolate the platter and tonearm from footfall and external vibrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThorens TP 160 Knife-Edge Tonearm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-mass 9-inch precision radial tonearm featuring ultra-low-friction knife-edge bearings, optimal mass distribution, and axial overhang adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSME Bayonet Headshell Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard detachable headshell design compatible with standard SME bayonets and integrated cartridges such as the Ortofon SPU series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Balanced XLR Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features professional-grade XLR outputs alongside standard RCA connections for interference-free signal transmission with MC cartridges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Part Machined Aluminium Platter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-machined 12-inch two-part aluminium platter driven by a polished internal drive belt with adjustable tension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Linear Power Supply (TPN 1600):\u003c\/strong\u003e Outboard regulated linear power supply driving an electronically controlled AC motor for precise speed stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch1\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTurntable Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManual Sub-Chassis Belt-Drive Turntable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePlayback Speeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33-1\/3 \u0026amp; 45 RPM (Electronic Speed Change)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDrive System\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePrecision Belt Drive (Adjustable Belt Tension)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePlatter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e12\" Two-Part Machined Aluminium Platter with Rubber Mat\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTonearm Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eThorens TP 160 9\" Radial Tonearm (Knife-Edge Bearing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEffective Tonearm Mass\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e14 g (Medium Mass)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeadshell Connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard SME Bayonet (Supports SME Headshells \u0026amp; Ortofon SPU)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAudio Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1x Pair Stereo RCA (Unbalanced), 1x Pair Stereo XLR (True Balanced)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExternal Linear Power Supply TPN 1600\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e454 x 180 x 369 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUnit Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e11.0 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAcrylic Dust Cover, External TPN 1600 Power Supply, RCA Phono Cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Thorens","offers":[{"title":"High Gloss Black","offer_id":52739989405962,"sku":"THORENS-9152","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":52739989438730,"sku":"THORENS-9153","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Oak","offer_id":52739989471498,"sku":"THORENS-9154","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak","offer_id":52739989504266,"sku":"THORENS-9155","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/thorens-td-1600-turntable-with-tp160-tonearm-50972-1-p.jpg?v=1773933925","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/thor-td1600-dd","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
