Turntables — Pro-Ject Pro-Ject E1.2 Turntable

The Pro-Ject E1.2 Turntable is an entry-level belt-drive turntable from Pro-Ject, built with a considered stainless-steel-axle-in-bronze-bushing bearing design. The E1.2 brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to an accessible analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor. Wow and flutter is a low plus-or-minus 0.23% at 33rpm or plus-or-minus 0.21% at 45rpm. Signal-to-noise ratio is 65dB. At 420 x 112 x 330mm and 3.6kg, the E1.2 maintains a manageable, accessible entry-level turntable chassis reflecting Pro-Ject's considered bearing engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect a straightforward, dependable vinyl playback experience reflecting the low sub-0.25% wow-and-flutter figures, consistent with Pro-Ject's broader accessible, considered Czech engineering philosophy.

Pairing

Buyers should confirm cartridge compatibility directly with Pro-Ject or an authorised dealer, as none appears pre-installed on this specific entry-level model.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's own Primary E offers a related entry-level alternative with a pre-installed cartridge within the same broader catalogue.
