Precision Engineering on a Proven Belt Drive Platform

At the heart of the Pro-Ject Scorpions Turntable is a refined belt drive system that ensures stable rotation and low mechanical noise. Electronic speed control allows effortless switching between 33 and 45 RPM, providing convenience without sacrificing accuracy. Speed variance and wow and flutter figures are kept impressively low, ensuring consistent pitch stability and smooth playback.

The signal-to-noise ratio of 67 dB contributes to a clean and quiet background, allowing fine musical details to emerge naturally. The stainless steel and brass main bearing assembly ensures durability and precise platter rotation, forming a solid foundation for high-quality performance. With power consumption kept minimal and standby draw at zero, this turntable also reflects thoughtful efficiency. Every element is designed to maintain sonic purity and mechanical stability.

High Mass Glass Platter and Resonance Control

The Pro-Ject Scorpions Turntable features a substantial 10 mm thick glass platter weighing 1.7 kg, chosen for its excellent resonance control and rotational stability. Unlike lightweight plastic or thin metal platters, glass provides superior damping characteristics that reduce unwanted vibrations and colorations. This zero resonance design ensures that the stylus reads the groove with maximum accuracy, preserving detail and tonal balance.

The felt mat supplied helps further control micro vibrations while protecting your records. The CNC-machined plinth is free of hollow spaces, eliminating internal resonances that can compromise sound quality. Combined with vibration-absorbing feet, the entire structure is effectively isolated from environmental disturbances. This carefully engineered mass and damping approach gives the turntable a stable, silent platform for extracting the finest musical information from vinyl.

Precision Tonearm and Cartridge Performance

A 9-inch aluminium tonearm forms the core of the Pro-Ject Scorpions Turntable’s tracking system. Its one-piece construction with an integrated headshell minimizes resonance and improves rigidity compared to detachable designs. The effective arm length and mass are carefully matched to a wide range of cartridges, while the low-friction bearings ensure smooth and accurate tracking across the record surface.

The spring-based anti-skating system allows precise adjustment, keeping the stylus centered in the groove for optimal channel balance and reduced distortion. Supplied pre-fitted is the Pick it 25A moving magnet cartridge, factory adjusted and ready to play. Known for its clarity, dynamic response, and excellent groove tracking ability, it delivers a lively and detailed sound straight out of the box.

Craftsmanship, Accessories, and Everyday Usability

Handmade in Europe, the Pro-Ject Scorpions Turntable reflects a commitment to quality materials and meticulous assembly. The semi-symmetrical phono cable with metal connectors ensures reliable signal transmission, while the universal power supply offers stable and consistent operation. An acrylic dustcover with adjustable hinges protects the turntable while allowing easy access and elegant presentation.

Included accessories such as the singles adapter, felt mat, RCA cable, and power supply ensure everything needed is ready for immediate setup. With its solid construction, thoughtful design, and striking Scorpions-themed aesthetics, this turntable stands as both a functional high-fidelity component and a collectible statement piece. It offers audiophile sound quality combined with visual impact, making it a centerpiece for any vinyl-based music system.
