Pro-Ject Elemental with Ortofon OM 5E

Manual Plug & Play Turntable

Maximum simplicity & outstanding sound quality!

Pro-Ject has decided to go after the entry-level market with an high quality alternative that comes complete with an Ortofon cartridge. The new Elemental table is a real plug & play in every way. No adjustment of counterweight and antiskating is needed, because both are pre-adjusted. This new straight ultra low mass tonearm is optimised for the included Ortofon OM 5E cartridge.

The hidden secret to the new table’s sonic success, is a central gravity mass point, made from an artificial stone and placed directly underneath the platter bearing. It is capable to fully absorb unwanted rumble and motor vibration. This turntable appears to be pure simplicity itself, while maintaining high quality audio standards.
