Pro-Ject Signature 12.2 Turntable
The Pro-Ject Signature 12.2 is a testament to high-end turntable craftsmanship — built entirely by hand from premium materials with meticulous engineering. Each unit undergoes a two-day process to polish and precisely mount its components, followed by a rigorous four-step quality-control phase to ensure flawless performance. Made in Europe, it embodies Pro-Ject's dedication to excellence.
Exceptional Design & Build Quality
A heavy MDF main chassis is hand-painted in 10 layers and polished to a luxurious piano-black finish. Rounded edges reduce standing waves, while precision CNC machining eliminates hollow spaces to suppress unwanted resonance — a design that improves sound performance and delivers a timeless, elegant aesthetic.
Vibration-Free Flywheel Drive
A flywheel perimeter belt-drive system ensures vibration-free operation for the most accurate, stable playback speeds. The motor sits in a full aluminium block that further dampens vibration, finished in high-gloss to complement the turntable's luxurious look. Built-in speed control makes switching between 33 and 45 RPM effortless.
Advanced Engineering for Superior Sound
New adjustable, spring-loaded feet decouple the turntable from external vibration and allow precise levelling and custom damping. The heavyweight platter — CNC-machined aluminium topped with recycled vinyl — is magnetically decoupled from the main bearing for ultra-silent operation, eliminating unwanted noise and resonance.
Signature S-Shape Tonearm
Pro-Ject's Signature aluminium tonearm uses the popular S-shape layout for superior tracking, with VTA adjustment for precise alignment to your cartridge.
True Balanced Connection
A 5-pin DIN output enables balanced audio transmission. Pro-Ject's True Balanced Connection technology offers higher gain and reduced noise, and paired with Pro-Ject's True Balanced cable range it lets you hear your music with exceptional clarity — a perfect choice for the most demanding high-fidelity systems.
