Hi-Fi "Plug & Play" turntable with an excellent performance/price ratio

Looking for a simple turntable with great sound performance at a very attractive price? The Pro-Ject E1 is the best solution, and it's made in Europe!

The Pro-Ject E1 is the first turntable in the new E series, which aims to deliver true hi-fi sound at a surprisingly low price. The manufacturing process and choice of materials result in a sleek, stylish design and rich, vibrant sound. All without the compromises common in such a low price range. The installation of the turntable is very simple and intuitive. The arm is fitted with a transfer tube and already has preset pressure. So just fit the strap, platter, dust cover and connect the turntable to a suitable amplifier (or preamplifier) input with phono level - everything is ready to play.

The E1 turntable is fitted with a moulded plastic platter and is driven by a belt and DC motor with damping. In this price range, the option of electronic speed switching is also pleasing. Simply flip the three-position switch on the side to the desired position for 33 or 45 rpm.Three damped bases ensure effective shielding from unwanted vibrations and, of course, a removable dust cover.

Thanks to the chosen drive solution, the E1 is able to ensure the smooth and stable rotation of the platter, necessary for the precise guidance of the transfer arm and tip in the groove.The E1's new straight turntable arm is based on proven Pro-Ject solutions. Effective length of 8.6", aluminium construction, newly developed headshell and excellent bearing with minimal friction are important aspects for correct tracking accuracy.The E1 turntable comes with a pre-installed Ortofon OM5e MM cartridge with elliptical diamond tip, which ensures a vivid and accurate sound.

The E1 also includes a directly connected shielded phono cable (1.23m) with low capacitance and RCA termination. A dust cover and felt platter pad are also available for added protection of your phono records.

The E1 is a new price wonder. A hi-fi turntable that looks and sounds great, made in Europe, in a factory with decades of tradition and experience in developing and manufacturing high-end turntables.
