Pro-Ject E1 Turntable with Ortofon OM 5E

The Pro-Ject E1 offers true hi-fi quality at a price that will delight vinyl beginners. It focuses on quality thanks to its sophisticated construction and stable components. High-quality materials, a minimalist design and the ready-to-play Ortofon OM 5E cartridge make it the ideal plug & play package for all beginners who have a system with phono input (MM). Analogue sound without frippery and without compromise!

The CNC-milled chassis is made entirely in Europe from solid wood without cavities. Unwanted vibrations and resonances have no chance! The newly developed turntable made of polymer is driven by a DC motor via a belt and a sub-disc. The speed is switched electronically.

The tonearm with integrated headshell is a new development for all models of the new E-series. The 8.6" long aluminium tube is precisely guided by low-friction gimbal bearings. The mounted and adjusted Ortofon OM 5E cartridge with elliptical needle grind makes this turntable an uncompromising HiFi player for beginners.

Specially optimised, low-capacity phono cables with shielding are included. A dust cover and a felt mat that protects your records as a soft support surface complete the package.

Adjustment of the counterweight and precise alignment of the cartridge are guaranteed from the factory. No adjustments have to be made or any parts assembled. After removing the transport lock, putting on the belt and taking off the needle guard, the turntable is immediately ready to play.

The E1 brings audiophile vinyl enjoyment into price ranges where it previously seemed unthinkable. The E1 is available in three colours. It is manufactured in Europe in a factory with decades of tradition in record player manufacturing. A turntable that beginners can rely on!
