The Pro-Ject E1.2 is the next-generation E-Line turntable, delivering a great sound experience on a limited budget, hand-made in Europe. Its plug-and-play design arrives with tracking force and anti-skating pre-adjusted by Pro-Ject's experienced technicians at the factory, so it is set up and ready to play out of the box. Available in high-gloss black or walnut. Available now at Vinyl Sound Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNew 730g die-cast aluminium platter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E1.2 replaces the ABS polymer platter of the original E1 with a newly designed 730g die-cast aluminium main platter, an ideal anti-resonant platform for your vinyl. Each platter is reworked and precision-balanced in an extra step for even, stable rotation. The added mass maintains consistent speed and minimises unwanted vibration and resonance, letting the stylus track with greater accuracy for improved rotational stability and acoustic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium pre-fitted Pick it MM E cartridge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge is one of the most sonically critical parts of a turntable, turning the record's grooves into an electrical signal. The pre-fitted Pick it MM E uses a low-mass system built around a miniature neodymium generator magnet; the lower inertia clearly improves tracking accuracy. Its conical diamond tip delivers a warm, smooth sound with low background noise, and the highly damped ABS body reduces vibration-induced colouration to a vanishing level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecision tonearm and craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm is expertly adjusted at the factory and ready to play with no tools or guesswork. A heavy-mass gimbal design with a zero-play precision bearing system gives solid tracking and smooth, stable movement, while a carbon-reinforced, super-stiff headshell reduces vibration and an oversized-diameter counterweight placed closer to the moving parts improves balance, detail, and bass. The plinth is CNC-machined from rigid composite fibre with no hollow spaces inside for a solid, resonance-resistant foundation, finished in high-gloss black or walnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt-drive turntable with pre-fitted cartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePro-Ject Pick it MM E (moving magnet, conical)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 \/ 45 RPM (electronic speed change)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt drive with electronic speed control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e730g die-cast aluminium, precision-balanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatter bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel axle in bronze bushing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTonearm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.6 in aluminium, effective length 218.5 mm \/ mass 7.0 g, carbon-reinforced headshell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverhang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWow and flutter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33: +\/-0.23%; 45: +\/-0.21%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal to noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamped DC motor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15V DC 0.8A power supply, acrylic dust cover, 7-inch single adapter, phono cables (1.23 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e420 x 112 x 330 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-gloss black, walnut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years (Pro-Ject, managed by Gentec in Canada)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEurope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Pro-Ject E1.2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Pro-Ject E1.2 is a hand-made-in-Europe belt-drive turntable and the next generation of the E-Line.

Connect it to an amplifier or receiver with a phono (MM) input, or to a separate phono stage, then to any line input. Vinyl Sound Canada can recommend a matching phono stage if your amplifier does not have one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is new on the E1.2 versus the original E1?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe main upgrade is the platter: the E1.2 uses a new 730g die-cast aluminium platter in place of the E1's ABS polymer platter, improving speed stability and reducing resonance.
