Design
The T-40X uses Luxman's original CLL circuit, which locks onto the transmission frequency of the broadcasting station so reception stays stable. The Accu-lock mechanism puts braking resistance on the tuning knob at the optimal tuning point, so you can find the station precisely. The built-in test tone circuit supports recording calibration and system setup.
