The Pro-Ject E1 Turntable is the entry-level model of the E-line range. It shares the same fundamental design as the E1 Phono and E1 BT models, retaining the same high-quality ethos but omitting the integrated phono stage and Bluetooth features of the higher models. This offers a lower-priced alternative, perfect as an introduction to premium Hi-Fi. The E1 is handcrafted in Europe from anti-resonance materials to give you impeccable playback of your vinyl collection. It is belt-driven with two speed functions (33 and 45 RPM). Thanks to its pre-mounted Ortofon OM5E Moving Magnet Cartridge, known for its excellent tracking ability and detailed sound reproduction, you can begin using this product almost immediately upon unboxing. The cartridge is factory-set for downforce and anti-skate settings and is attached to a lightweight, precision-made aluminium tonearm with a fixed headshell. The E1 Turntable has a rigid MDF plinth with a glossy finish and four shock-absorbing feet, which help minimise unwanted vibrations and resonance. It also comes with a hinged dust cover for protection while not in use and a felt mat for the platter.
