Pro-Ject E1 Phono SE Turntable

The E1 Phono SE is Pro-Ject's entry level turntable, hand-made in Europe and built for beginners, returning vinyl fans, and experienced collectors alike. Its Plug & Play design ships with pre-adjusted tracking force and anti-skating set by experienced technicians at the factory, so you can start playing records straight out of the box. E1 Phono SE adds a switchable internal phono preamp to the standard E1, making it the ideal choice if your amplifier or receiver doesn't have a built-in phono input. As an authorized Pro-Ject dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you confirm this turntable fits your system.

Plug & Play Setup

Pro-Ject's experienced factory technicians pre-adjust the tracking force and anti-skating on every E1 Phono SE before it ships, so there's no manual cartridge setup required — just unbox it, connect it, and start playing records.

Built-In Phono Preamp

E1 Phono SE adds a switchable phono preamp to the standard E1 turntable. If your amplifier, receiver, or powered speakers don't have a dedicated phono input, switch the preamp on and connect directly to any line-level input. If you already have a separate phono stage, switch it off and use the turntable's line-level output instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate phono preamp for this turntable?
No. E1 Phono SE has a switchable internal phono preamp, so you can connect it directly to any line-level input on your amplifier, receiver, or powered speakers.

Do I need to set up the cartridge myself?
No. Tracking force and anti-skating are pre-adjusted at the factory by Pro-Ject's technicians, so the turntable is ready to play out of the box.

How is this different from the standard E1 or E1 BT?
The standard E1 has no built-in phono preamp, so it requires a separate phono stage or a phono input on your amp. E1 BT adds a Bluetooth 5.2 transmitter alongside the phono preamp for wireless connection to speakers or headphones. E1 Phono SE sits between the two, with the phono preamp but no Bluetooth.
