Pro-Ject E1.2 Turntable

The Pro-Ject E1.2 Turntable is a next-generation entry-level audiophile design, handmade in Europe to deliver exceptional sound on a limited budget. Its Plug & Play concept ensures hassle-free setup, with pre-adjusted tracking force and anti-skating by skilled technicians so you can enjoy music right away. The upgraded 730g die-cast aluminium platter replaces the previous ABS version, providing an anti-resonant and precision-balanced platform that keeps records spinning steadily.

This significant enhancement improves speed consistency and reduces unwanted resonance, allowing for clearer, more dynamic playback. Thoughtful details like the recessed record label area and TPE damping ring further refine performance, ensuring each record sounds warm, balanced, and vibrant. Combining quality craftsmanship with practical features, the E1.2 makes high-quality vinyl playback accessible to everyone.

Upgraded Cartridge and Tonearm for Richer Sound

At the heart of the Pro-Ject E1.2 Turntable’s musicality lies the new pre-mounted Pick it MM E cartridge. Designed with a low-mass system and miniature neodymium magnet, it improves tracking accuracy while keeping background noise impressively low. Its conical diamond tip ensures smooth and warm sound reproduction, complemented by a highly damped ABS body that reduces vibration-induced coloration.

The precision-engineered tonearm, featuring an aluminium tube and carbon-reinforced headshell, adds stiffness to minimize vibrations further. A heavy mass gimbal design, oversized counterweight placed near moving parts, and zero-play precision bearing system all contribute to excellent detail retrieval, better bass response, and consistently stable playback. Together, these enhancements help reveal the natural character of your vinyl collection.

Precision Engineering for Quiet, Stable Playback

Designed with resonance control in mind, the Pro-Ject E1.2 Turntable uses a rigid CNC-machined plinth free of hollow spaces to limit unwanted vibrations. This carefully constructed chassis ensures the turntable remains stable, while damping feet help decouple it from external surfaces. Underneath, a glass fiber-reinforced ABS sub platter and stainless steel axle with a bronze bushing deliver smooth, precise rotation.

Electronic speed control makes switching between 33 and 45 RPM effortless at the touch of a button. The damped DC motor further reduces motor noise, preserving the clarity of your records. Each element works together to create a balanced, musical presentation, turning everyday listening into an immersive experience.

Built to Last and Beautifully Finished

With its blend of engineering and aesthetics, the Pro-Ject E1.2 Turntable stands out in any living space. Available in satin white, high-gloss black, or walnut finishes, its clean lines and refined surfaces echo the quality typically reserved for more expensive models. Practical details include a dust cover, high-quality phono cables with gold-plated RCA connectors, and a 7” single adapter, all included for convenience.

Backed by a commitment to 25 years of spare parts availability, the E1.2 is built not only for great sound today but also for reliability in the future. Handmade in Europe, it offers lasting value, making it an ideal choice for newcomers and seasoned vinyl enthusiasts alike.
