Turntables — Pro-Ject T2

The T2 is an accomplished belt-drive turntable from Pro-Ject, carrying forward the main advantages of the previous T2 series with a heavy glass platter that is both visually spectacular and sonically effective, driven at an electronically controlled speed. The T2 brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to a serious, visually striking analogue playback format.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor and electronic speed control. A pre-installed tonearm comes fitted with a factory-mounted Sumiko Rainier cartridge. The platter is a 10mm-thick, 1.7kg heavy-glass design with a felt mat. Signal-to-noise is 67dB. At 457 x 134 x 335mm and 5.5kg, the T2 maintains a substantial turntable chassis reflecting Pro-Ject's considered T-series engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect a spectacular and effective performance reflecting the heavy glass platter's design and acoustic contribution, with the factory-matched Sumiko Rainier cartridge delivering a dependable, well-resolved playback foundation.

Pairing

The factory-matched Sumiko Rainier cartridge comes pre-aligned, and the T2 connects to an amplifier with a built-in phono stage or an external phono preamplifier.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's own T2 Super Phono offers a built-in-phono-stage alternative within the same broader T2 series.
