Turntables — Pro-Ject T1 EVO BT

The T1 EVO BT is a stylish Bluetooth-equipped turntable from Pro-Ject, built from high-quality materials with electronic gear-shifting, a glass platter, and a pre-installed Ortofon OM10 cartridge. The T1 EVO BT brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to a design-forward, wireless-capable analogue playback format.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor and electronic gear-shifting for speed changes. 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 BT maintains a compact, design-forward turntable chassis with built-in Bluetooth output.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable performance reflecting the heavy blasted-glass platter's rotational stability, with the built-in Bluetooth output extending the T1 EVO BT's flexibility to wireless speakers and headphones alongside conventional wired connections.

Pairing

The built-in Bluetooth output allows the T1 EVO BT to stream directly to wireless speakers or headphones, in addition to its conventional phono or line-level output.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's own standard T1 offers a non-Bluetooth alternative within the same broader T-series turntable catalogue.
