Pro-Ject E1 Turntable - Manual

The E1 is an easy to use record player that stands out in any environment thanks to its striking good looks and excellent sound.

With its choice of three finish options and three output versions it's an ideal entry point into vinyl playback that suits you.

• BUILT TO LAST: The E1 is based around a stylish main plinth, directly inspired by other Pro-Ject designs.It is a CNC-machined composite fibre platform, which contains no hollow spaces, and boasts excellent anti-resonance properties.
• QUALITY IN SIMPLICITY: The E1 is a product made for music lovers, by music lovers. In an age where the market is awash with turntables, Pro-Ject Audio Systems are seeking to remain true to their audiophile roots, while listening to what customers want.The E1 is therefore effortlessly simple to set-up and produces a highly engaging, accessible sound that really makes your records sing. But it’s also made with no corners cut.
• CONVENIENCE THROUGH PROPER COMPONENTS: Mounted inside the plinth is a precision belt drive system with a damped DC motor, attached to a sub-platter.The sub-platter drives the new ABS Polymer main platter, which is strengthened with purpose-designed ridges in order to create an ideal, anti-resonant platform for your vinyl. Speed change is conveniently handled by the 3 position power switch on the side of the plinth.
• PLAYBACK PERFECTION: The tonearm on the E1 is a new 8.6” model featuring a one-piece aluminium tube, a two-point bearing assembly and a new fixed headshell.The result is a true hi-fi quality tonearm with low moving mass and good electrical isolation; perfect for accurate musical playback.
• READY FOR LIFT-OFF: The tonearm is finished with an Audio-Technica ATN3600L cartridge with conical diamond stylus for great sound.It is factory-set for downforce and anti-skate settings, so there’s no need for any complicated set-up; you can get playing straight out of the box*!
• MORE FEATURES AND FINISHES: Featuring only the best materials available for the price, the E1 comes ready to go with cables, pre-installed anti-resonance feet, a removable dust cover and all the accessories you need to set-up. Available in high gloss black, high gloss white or walnut finish.

* The Pro-Ject E1 requires a separate Phono stage or pre-amplifier. We recommend the Pro-Ject Phono Box MM or you can connect it directly to your amplifier or active bookshelf speakers if they have a built in phono amplified input.
