Pro-Ject Audio Systems E1 Plug and Play Turntable with Built-In Phono Stage in Walnut

Pro-Ject Audio Systems E1 Plug and Play Turntable with Built-In Phono Stage – Walnut

The Pro-Ject E1 Phono is the most convenient way to begin – or return to – vinyl listening without sacrificing sound quality. Designed with simplicity at its core and engineered with Pro-Ject’s renowned expertise, this turntable combines precision construction, refined audio performance and a built-in phono pre-amplifier for true plug-and-play flexibility.

With a clean, high-gloss Walnut finish and minimal setup required, the E1 Phono is ideal for modern systems, powered speakers and classic hi-fi amplifiers alike.

Built-In Phono Stage for Flexible Connectivity

The integrated phono pre-amplifier allows you to connect the E1 Phono directly to any amplifier, speaker system or audio device with a standard AUX input.

• Built-in Moving Magnet phono stage
• Connects directly to AUX or LINE inputs
• Can still be used with amplifiers that have a dedicated phono input
• Supplied with RCA cable (RCA to 3.5mm cable may be required for some systems)

This removes the need for extra equipment, making the E1 Phono perfect for first-time vinyl users.

Electronic Speed Control for Instant Switching

Unlike many entry-level turntables that require manual belt changes, the E1 Phono includes electronic speed change via a simple side switch.

• Easy switching between 33 and 45 RPM
• No belt handling or pulley adjustments
• Ideal for users with mixed vinyl collections

This small feature adds huge everyday convenience.

Precision Construction for Clean, Stable Playback

The E1 Phono is built on a CNC-machined composite fibre plinth with no hollow spaces, significantly reducing resonance. A damped DC motor and belt-drive system deliver smooth, stable rotation, while the anti-resonant ABS polymer platter provides a neutral platform for your records.

• Vibration-resistant composite plinth
• Precision belt-drive and isolated DC motor
• Anti-resonant ABS polymer platter
• Pre-installed anti-resonance feet

The result is lower distortion, improved clarity and a more natural sound.

New 8.6" Aluminium Tonearm – Factory Set & Ready

The one-piece 8.6” aluminium tonearm is designed for low moving mass and precise tracking. Combined with its fixed headshell and two-point bearing assembly, it delivers excellent groove accuracy and detail retrieval.

• Lightweight, rigid aluminium tonearm
• Fixed headshell for improved rigidity
• Factory-set tracking force and anti-skate
• No calibration required

This ensures consistent performance straight from the box.
