Turntables — Pro-Ject Audio EU

The Audio EU is a belt-drive turntable from Pro-Ject, built with a factory-fitted Ortofon OM10 cartridge and an aluminium platter. The Audio EU brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to a straightforward, ready-to-play analogue package.

Key specs that matter

The belt-drive mechanism provides genuine isolation between motor and platter, reducing motor-vibration transfer to the stylus. The pre-installed Ortofon OM10 cartridge, a well-regarded entry-level moving-magnet design, removes cartridge-selection uncertainty for the buyer. The aluminium platter is chosen for favourable dimensional stability.

Sound and use context

Expect smooth, well-controlled rotation reflecting the belt-drive mechanism's inherent motor isolation, combined with the well-regarded Ortofon OM10 cartridge's capable entry-level performance straight out of the box.

Pairing

Because the Ortofon OM10 cartridge ships pre-installed, the Audio EU arrives ready to play directly with any amplifier offering a phono input.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's broader turntable catalogue, including the Debut and X-series models offers alternatives at different specification tiers.
