1. Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo
The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo turntable focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable great. Technically correct design - high quality materials - handmade in the EU. This turntable lasts for eternity. Pro-Ject has used its technology and experience from the past and also tried to incorporate damping techniques from high-end turntables into the Debut Carbon EVO. With an eye on more advanced TPE damping and high-mass sandwich construction, they were able to develop this innovative solution. The Debut Carbon Evo not only looks good, but also inspires with a perfect posture. Three height-adjustable solid metal feet are used to ensure level positioning on any surface. With three feet, Pro-Ject was able to increase stability on uneven surfaces, as a perfectly level turntable is essential for true high-end sound. As well as being able to change the playback speed effortlessly at the touch of a button, it is electronically controlled with the utmost precision, resulting in the most accurate and stable speeds. Pro-Ject's previous turntable was already heavier than all the others, but a metal turntable also has a disadvantage: resonances. The TPE technology (thermoplastic elastomer) now helps to dampen these resonances completely and also increases the weight to 1.7 kilograms. Since the TPE is mounted on an outer ring, the kinetic energy also creates a flywheel effect. The result is even quieter operation with less synchronisation fluctuation. The speed control has been placed on the bottom of the turntable to maintain the clean look for which the Debut is so well known. You won't find a switch, LED or print on the top of the turntable to maintain the luxurious aesthetic.
2. Pro-Ject Debut Evo 2
Turntable with TPE damped counterweight. Record speed: 33⅓ rpm/45 rpm. Integrated phono preamplifier: No. With belt drive. Pre-aligned Pick it MM EVO cartridge. 8.6 conical, one-piece carbon tonearm, electronic speed switch. Aluminium platter with TPE damping ring.
3. Pro-Ject T2
The Pro-Ject T2 extends the formula of the popular T1 model and brings improvements in sound quality and construction: a special standard for record players at audiophile level is here. The T2 is based on a larger, CNC-machined chassis made of high-quality materials, completely without plastic parts. The technically precise design ensures a robust structure that effectively eliminates unwanted vibrations and resonances. The glass platter is thicker and heavier for more stable speed and higher quality reproduction. The 9-inch aluminium tonearm is equipped with modern, low-friction precision bearings designed with a greater length and diameter in mind. The cherry on the cake is the factory fitted and adjusted Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge with elliptical stylus: such a high quality cartridge in combination with an excellent phono preamplifier ensures a pleasant reproduction of vinyl records. As usual, an electronically controlled, high-precision AC motor, gold-plated RCA connections and a specially developed and efficiently shielded Pro-Ject Connect It E turntable cable are included.
4. Pro-Ject T1 EVO BT (OM10)
The T series from Pro-Ject is a range of turntables that are handmade in Europe and are known for their excellent sound quality, minimalist design and good value for money. The aim in developing the T models was to offer a high quality, good sounding turntable in a reasonable price range, and this has been achieved. The updated models fulfil expectations even better than before. The 2024 Pro-Ject T1 EVO BT is equipped with electronic speed switching, a Bluetooth transmitter and an integrated RIAA preamplifier, which can now also be bridged. Bluetooth 5.0 aptX enables the wireless transmission of sound from records to a Bluetooth speaker in HD quality. The slightly improved Ortofon OM-10E cartridge was chosen, which has an elliptical stylus. The belt drive has been revised and the bearing of the precision-moulded platter is ultra-precise. The selected drive system ensures a smoothly rotating and resonance-free base for the one-piece aluminium tonearm and cartridge.
5. Pro-Ject Automat A1
The A1 features an ultra-lightweight 8.3" aluminum tonearm. Together with the Ortofon OM10, which perfectly complements this design principle, you will enjoy an exceptionally fast response and fidelity in terms of transients and micro-dynamics. The tracking force and anti-skating are factory preset, making the A1 ready to use in just a few seconds. This makes it perfect for both vinyl beginners and experienced listeners, as the sound quality is supported by all the audiophile features that the A1 has to offer.
A little-known fact is that the OM series has its developmental roots and legacy in ultra-lightweight tonearm designs. Pre-assembled and adjusted at the Pro-Ject factory, it is the perfect partner for your A1. The damping ring on the inside adds weight and reduces resonances. In the final step, the platter is rotated and precisely balanced to maintain its fine edges and minimize wow and flutter deviations.
The headshell is made from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, which is stable and rigid while keeping the weight super low. This composite material results in excellent internal damping of resonances. The chassis provides just enough space to precisely accommodate the entire internal structure of the A1, thus avoiding cavities. As a result, the high mass of the chassis minimizes unwanted resonances to a minimum.
6. Pro-Ject E1 (AT3600L)
The Pro-Ject E1 (AT3600L) is a high-quality turntable that is ideal for beginners. With its sleek black design, it seamlessly fits into any environment. The turntable features a user-friendly plug & play function, allowing for easy setup. The electronic speed switching ensures precise adjustment for different types of records, while the Ortofon OM-5e replacement stylus provides excellent sound quality. With compact dimensions of 33 cm in width, 42 cm in depth, and a height of 11.2 cm, the E1 is easy to integrate without taking up much space. Weighing 30.5 kg, the device offers stability and reduces vibrations, contributing to a clear and uncolored listening experience. The package includes the turntable itself, so users can start enjoying their favorite records right away. The Pro-Ject E1 (AT3600L) is thus an excellent choice for anyone looking to dive into the world of vinyl records.
