Thorens Turntables
Heritage grounded. Modern authority.
Thorens is one of the most enduring names in vinyl playback, pairing more than a century of Swiss precision engineering with a clear-eyed commitment to modern performance. From classic suspended-chassis designs to today’s advanced direct-drive platforms, the throughline is unmistakable: speed accuracy, mechanical integrity, and long-term musical satisfaction.
At Backbeat Audio, Thorens represents a disciplined approach to analog design — engineering that serves timing, tonal coherence, and long-term musical engagement.
TD 404 DD
High-precision direct drive derived from the TD 124 DD, emphasizing speed stability, torque authority, and electronic control.
TD 1500
Classic suspended-chassis refinement executed with modern precision. A belt-drive platform built for tonal coherence and long-term system growth.
Also Available from Thorens
For listeners seeking to explore Thorens at its most expressive, Backbeat Audio offers special-order access to two of the brand’s most significant reference turntables: the Thorens TD 1600 and the Thorens TD 124 DD.
The TD 124 DD Exclusive stands as Thorens’ contemporary reference direct-drive turntable. Inspired by the iconic TD 124 lineage, it brings together exceptional speed accuracy, mechanical authority, and modern motor control in a statement design intended for no-compromise analog systems.
The TD 1600 represents the pinnacle of Thorens’ modern suspended belt-drive design. Building on the legacy of the classic TD 160, it combines a precision sub-chassis, advanced isolation, and the TP 160 tonearm into a refined platform focused on tonal flow, spatial depth, and long-term listening satisfaction.
