Pro-ject E1 Turntable

The ideal introduction to vinyl

Whether you’re new to vinyl or dusting down your old LPs, the Pro-Ject E1 offers the perfect blend of sound quality and practical features. Built to Pro-Ject’s high standards, the E1 is solidly made, with a CNC-machined composite fibre plinth, aluminium tonearm and Audio Technica cartridge. Unlike other budget decks that offer a fixed speed or awkward belt change, the E1 has electronic speed control, making it easy to switch between 33rpm albums and 45rpm singles.

Made for great sound

With a vast amount of experience and design expertise, few can beat Pro-Ject for turntable knowhow. Take a look at the design and build of this turntable and you can see that experience shine through. The CNC-machined plinth has no hollow spaces and provides excellent vibration resistance. Combined with the isolation feet and anti-resonance platter, this gives the E1 a well-damped, low distortion sound. The high quality, isolated DC motor gives smooth and stable pitch for lifelike sound.

Newly designed, aluminium tonearm

With an arm-tube made from a single piece of aluminium and fixed headshell, the tonearm is both light and rigid. The more rigid a tonearm, the more precisely it tracks, meaning you get to hear every nuance of detail from your records. For ease of use, all the tonearm settings are factory-set, meaning this Project deck is ready to play, straight from the box.

Complete package – with Audio Technica cartridge supplied

Part of the standard package includes a pre-fitted Audio Technica AT3600 cartridge. This top brand budget cartridge gives a smooth, detailed sound that’s at home with all types of music.

Electronic speed change

Another feature that makes the E1 a great starter deck is the electronic speed control. Many decks in this class either have no speed control or a fiddly twin pulley system that means you manually have to move the belt from one pulley to another. With the E1 you get a simple switch that adjusts between 33 and 45 speeds at the click of a button. If you have a decent collection of singles and regularly switch speeds, electronic speed control makes all the difference to your user experience.
