Turntables — Pro-Ject VT-E BT

The VT-E BT is billed as the world's first vertical wireless vinyl turntable, combining advanced design with easy setup for vinyl fans wanting an original design occupying minimal space. The VT-E BT brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to a distinctive vertical, wireless-capable analogue playback format.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor. A pre-installed tonearm comes fitted with a factory-mounted Ortofon OM5e cartridge. The platter is a 300mm MDF design with a felt mat. Signal-to-noise is 65dB. At 430 x 345 x 245mm and 2.8kg, the VT-E BT maintains a lightweight, wall-mount-capable turntable chassis with built-in Bluetooth wireless output.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable performance reflecting the vertical operating orientation's stable tracking, with the built-in Bluetooth output extending flexibility to wireless speakers and headphones alongside the VT-E BT's distinctively minimal footprint.

Pairing

The built-in Bluetooth output allows the VT-E BT to stream directly to wireless speakers or headphones, and the factory-matched Ortofon OM5e cartridge comes pre-aligned.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's own standard VT-E offers a non-wireless alternative within the same broader vertical-turntable catalogue.
