Pro-Ject Primary E Phono Audiophile Plug & Play Turntable
With a smart tonearm design Pro-Ject were able to combine pure sound quality with an easy setup. The Plug & Play design with pre-adjusted tracking force and anti-skating for the included Ortofon OM cartridge has reduced costs, offering exceptional value for money.
The lightweight and low friction aluminium tonearm is optimized for the Ortofon cartridge and will bring out its maximum potential. Also the vibration absorbing feet isolate the turntable from the surface it is place on to deliver the best sound possible. The Primary E Phono is equipped with a switchable phono/line output, so it can be run with a dedicated external phono preamp or with the integrated phono preamp connected to a line input (for example AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape, etc.). With intelligent construction and without needless features Pro-Ject have been able to keep the price attractive, despite this product being handmade in Europe.
