Turntables — Pro-Ject T1 EVO

The T1 EVO is an accomplished belt-drive turntable from Pro-Ject, supporting two speeds via electronic switching, built with a heavy glass support platter to maximise resonance reduction. The T1 EVO brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to a compact, resonance-controlled analogue playback format.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33-1/3 and 45rpm - via belt drive with electronic speed switching. A pre-installed tonearm comes fitted with a factory-mounted Ortofon OM10 cartridge. The platter is a heavy 8mm blasted-glass design with a felt mat. Signal-to-noise is 65dB. At 415 x 100 x 335mm and 3.8kg, the T1 EVO maintains a compact turntable chassis with the heavy glass platter maximising resonance reduction.

Sound and use context

Expect reduced resonance reflecting the heavy blasted-glass platter's mass and material properties, with the factory-matched Ortofon OM10 cartridge delivering a dependable playback foundation.

Pairing

The factory-matched Ortofon OM10 cartridge comes pre-aligned, and the T1 EVO connects to an amplifier with a built-in phono stage or an external phono preamplifier.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's own T1 EVO Phono offers a built-in-phono-stage alternative within the same broader T1 series.
