Pro-Ject E1 Phono – Handmade Plug & Play Turntable with Built-In Phono Preamp
European Craftsmanship, Easy Setup, and Premium Sound for Every Vinyl Lover
Designed and hand-assembled in Europe, the Pro-Ject E1 Phono brings high-end turntable quality to an accessible price point, making it ideal for anyone who wants great analog sound without complicated setup. Whether you are new to vinyl or returning to it, the E1 offers everything you need for a smooth, musical, and stylish listening experience.
Ready to Play – No Setup Needed
The E1 Phono is a true plug-and-play turntable: the tracking force and anti-skating are factory-calibrated by Pro-Ject’s experienced technicians, ensuring optimal performance right out of the box. Simply connect it to any amplifier or powered speakers and start spinning your favorite records.
The built-in phono preamp means you don’t need a separate phono stage, saving both space and cost. It can also be switched off, giving you flexibility to use your own preamp if desired.
High-Quality European Design
The elegant CNC-machined chassis, made from dense composite fiber, eliminates unwanted resonance and vibrations. Available in high-gloss black, satin white, or real walnut, it blends perfectly with any modern living room or listening setup.
The lightweight 8.6" aluminum tonearm ensures accurate tracking and exceptional detail retrieval. It comes pre-fitted with the reliable Audio-Technica AT-3600L cartridge, delivering warm, natural, and dynamic sound across all genres.
The new ABS polymer platter, reinforced with structural ridges, provides a stable, anti-resonant surface for your vinyl. A felt mat and elegant acrylic dust cover with adjustable hinges are also included for protection and style.
