Pro-Ject E1 Phono Belt-Driven Turntable with Built-In Phono Preamp - Walnut
The Pro-Ject E1 Phono is designed to make listening to vinyl simple, enjoyable and genuinely good-sounding from the very first spin. Built as part of Pro-Ject’s E-Line series and handmade in Europe, this plug-and-play turntable offers classic Pro-Ject engineering at an accessible price point, making it ideal for beginners, returners to vinyl, or anyone wanting an uncomplicated setup without compromising sound quality.
Ready to use straight out of the box, the E1 Phono comes factory-adjusted by experienced technicians, with the tracking force and anti-skating already set. There’s no trial and error involved — just connect it, place a record on the platter and enjoy your collection.
Built-In Phono Preamp for Easy Connection
One of the standout features of the E1 Phono is its integrated phono preamplifier. This allows the turntable to connect directly to any amplifier, powered speaker or audio system with a standard AUX or line input — perfect for modern setups that don’t include a dedicated phono stage. For added flexibility, the preamp can also be bypassed if you prefer to connect it to an amplifier with a traditional phono input.
Simple Electronic Speed Control
Switching between 33⅓ and 45 RPM is handled electronically at the push of a button, removing the need to manually move the belt. Whether you're playing full albums or dipping into a collection of singles, speed changes are quick and hassle-free.
Carefully Engineered for Clean, Stable Sound
The CNC-machined composite fibre plinth is designed with no hollow spaces, helping to reduce unwanted resonance and vibration. This solid base works alongside vibration-damping feet and a newly developed ABS polymer platter, reinforced with internal ridges to create a stable, low-resonance platform for your records.
Driving the system is an isolated DC motor, providing smooth and consistent speed for accurate pitch and detailed playback.
Aluminium Tonearm with Pre-Fitted Cartridge
The lightweight 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm is manufactured from a single piece for added rigidity and precise tracking. It comes fitted with the Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge — a proven, easy-listening cartridge known for its balanced and forgiving sound character, making it well-suited to all music genres.
Designed to Fit Any Space
With its clean lines and understated appearance, the E1 Phono fits naturally into both modern and classic hi-fi setups. It’s available in high-gloss black, satin white or walnut finish, and each model is supplied with a clear acrylic dust cover featuring adjustable hinges for everyday protection.
