Adding a built-in phono pre-amp to the standard model, makes the Pro-Ject E1.2 Phono more compatible with a wider range of systems.Connects vinyl to almost any systemWith its built-in phono pre-amp, the Pro-Ject E1.2 Phono connects seamlessly to any amp or powered speaker system with an AUX input. Built to Pro-Ject’s high standards, the E1.2 Phono is also thoughtfully specced, with a CNC-machined composite fibre plinth, aluminium tonearm and Pick IT MM cartridge. For ease of use, this turntable has electronic speed control, making it easy to switch between 33rpm albums and 45rpm singles.
Built-in phonostage for flexible connectivityThe E1.2 Phono model features a built-in phono pre-amp. This means you can wire the deck up to any hi-fi system or speaker with an ‘AUX’ input (RCA cable supplied but your system may require an RCA to 3.5mm cable). Alternatively, switch to phono, and it can still be wired into an amp’s phono input, just like the standard E1.2.
Engineered for great soundWhen it comes to producing great sounding turntables, Pro-Ject has decades of experience. Crucial to this is quality engineering. The E1.2 Phono has a 730g aluminium platter with TPE damping for smooth and stable sound, without ‘ringing’ distortion. The CNC-machined plinth has no hollow spaces and provides excellent vibration resistance. Combined with the isolation feet, this gives the E1.2 a well-damped, low distortion sound.
Aluminium tonearm for precise trackingWith an aluminium arm-tube and carbon-reinforced headshell, the tonearm is both light and rigid. The more rigid a tonearm, the more precisely it tracks, meaning you get to hear every nuance of detail from your records. For ease of use, all the tonearm settings are factory-set, making this Pro-Ject deck ready to play, straight from the box.
Pick it MM E cartridge suppliedThe E1.2 Phono package includes a pre-fitted Pro-Ject Pick it MM E cartridge. This cartridge features a conical diamond for a warm and clear sound. The low mass design helps optimise tracking, while the ABS housing reduces vibrations, giving you the purest sound possible. Fully aligned and ready to play, no fitting or adjustment is required.
Electronic speed changeAnother feature that makes the E1.2 Phono a great starter deck is the electronic speed control. Many decks in this class either have no speed control or a fiddly twin pulley system that means you manually have to move the belt from one pulley to another. With the E1.2 Phono you get a simple switch that adjusts between 33 and 45 speeds at the click of a button. If you have a decent collection of singles and regularly switch speeds, electronic speed control makes all the difference to your user experience.
Choice of finishesThe simple, elegant styling gives the E1.2 Phono timeless appeal. Available in black, white or walnut finishes, there’s a colour to suit your style. All models come with a removable dust lid.
