Turntables — Pro-Ject Juke Box E1

The Juke Box E1 is an accomplished all-in-one turntable from Pro-Ject, featuring three RCA inputs and Bluetooth connectivity alongside an undisclosed built-in DAC, with volume control available via the included remote or the unit itself. The Juke Box E1 brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to a comprehensive, single-box analogue-and-digital music system.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive, with a pre-installed tonearm fitted with a factory-mounted Ortofon OM 5E cartridge. The platter is a 300mm anti-resonant ABS-polymer design with a felt mat. At 415 x 118 x 334mm and 5kg, the Juke Box E1 maintains a compact all-in-one music-system chassis combining turntable, DAC, and input-switching functionality.

Sound and use context

Expect a convenient all-in-one performance reflecting the combination of turntable, three RCA inputs, and Bluetooth connectivity in a single chassis, with the built-in DAC extending the Juke Box E1's role beyond vinyl playback alone.

Pairing

The three RCA inputs and Bluetooth connectivity allow the Juke Box E1 to serve as a genuine hub for multiple sources, not just its own turntable section.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's own Juke Box S2 offers a more comprehensive alternative with a built-in stereo power amplifier within the same broader Juke Box series.
