Pro-Ject E1.2 Plug & Play Audiophile Turntable – Walnut
A Superior Entry into Analogue Audio
Discover high-quality vinyl playback with the Pro-Ject E1.2 Turntable, designed for music lovers seeking audiophile-grade sound at an accessible price. Hand-built in Europe with precision craftsmanship, this next-generation E-Line model is engineered to deliver exceptional performance straight out of the box — no setup hassles, just pure sound.
Upgraded Aluminium Platter for Superior Sound
Unlike the original E1, the E1.2 now features a 730g die-cast aluminium platter that offers enhanced mass and anti-resonant properties. Carefully precision-balanced during manufacturing, it ensures stable rotation and reduces unwanted vibrations, allowing for a cleaner, more detailed playback.
Pre-Installed Premium Pick it MM E Cartridge
The Pick it MM E cartridge, factory-fitted for your convenience, uses a low-mass neodymium magnet for improved tracking accuracy. Its conical diamond stylus produces warm, immersive audio with impressively low background noise. The damped ABS housing keeps colouration to a minimum, ensuring your records sound as they were meant to.
Audiophile-Grade Tonearm & Headshell
The E1.2 is equipped with a lightweight 8.6” aluminium tonearm, featuring a carbon-reinforced headshell that minimises resonance. A heavy-mass gimbal design and zero-play bearings offer smooth motion and reliable tracking. With the oversized counterweight positioned for optimal balance, you’ll experience deeper bass and enhanced detail across your records.
Premium Build Quality & Sleek Design
CNC-machined from a dense composite fibre, the plinth of the E1.2 avoids hollow cavities to prevent internal vibrations. Available in a Walnut finish, it combines aesthetic elegance with structural rigidity. Isolated, non-slip feet ensure stable playback on any surface.
Effortless Speed Switching
Switch between 33 and 45 RPM at the touch of a button thanks to the electronic speed control, making it easier than ever to enjoy a wide range of records. The belt-drive system, tucked neatly under the platter, keeps motor noise isolated for clearer sound.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Pre-calibrated with the ideal tracking force and anti-skating by Pro-Ject’s in-house experts, this turntable is ready to go from the moment it arrives. Just connect it to your system using the included high-quality phono cables (1.23m length, gold-plated connectors), and you’re all set.
Built to Last with 25-Year Spare Part Support
Every E1.2 is handmade in Europe, reflecting Pro-Ject’s commitment to quality and longevity. With 25 years of spare part availability guaranteed, you can invest in this turntable with confidence.
