The included pickup is a Moving Magnet pickup with 4 mV output voltage. LPs and singles are handled with the 2-way switch, which alternates between 33 and 45 rpm. The turntable comes with a flat and a round silicone/rubber belt, of which the round one must be used if you play 78 records. Incredibly good precision with marginal deviation. Together with three height-adjustable metal feet, the turntable should be able to dampen resonances more effectively and let all the sound coming out of the speakers be music.

The TPE material is found on the motor mount, in the counterweight lining and on the inside of the balanced black aluminium platter. TPE is a thermoplastic rubber suspension designed to prevent resonances from propagating. Pro-Ject uses TPE in several places here. The arm has CNC-machined steel components coated with nickel. The arm is also height adjustable, so you can easily adjust the vertical tracking angle with the included Allen wrench if you wish. At the other end, it has a Pro-Ject Pick it Pro, Moving Magnet pickup.

Thus Pro-Ject manages to make a light and rigid arm that neutralizes resonances.Īt one end, the arm has CNC-machined steel components coated with nickel to provide a scratch-resistant surface. So the turntable has a new 8.6-inch arm with carbon fibre strung on a thin aluminium tube. Pro-Ject has chosen to spend the money elsewhere than on multi-layer clear lacquer in fancy colours, and that’s obviously to squeeze as much sound quality out of the vinyl as possible.
