Pro-Ject T1 Turntable (Cartridge Included), Walnut Overview
The Pro-Ject T1 Turntable has been designed to provide a low-distortion experience while you enjoy your favourite records. The smart CNC-machined, plastic-free wooden plinth features no internal hollow spaces. Along with a modern belt drive setup, this means that chances for unwanted vibrations to enter and resonate through the delicate vinyl signal are limited, whilst still supporting 33 and 45 RPM speed changing. The belt drive motor turns a robust sub-platter, which supports the heavy, zero-resonance glass platter and spins on a 0.001mm main bearing with a stainless steel axle to further ensure rigidity.
The T1's feet also separate the plinth from the surface below, further reducing the effects of external vibrations impacting tracking and data extraction. This enables a much more immersive sound. Using a brand new 8.6" aluminium, one-piece tonearm with low-friction bearings majorly contributes to optimal performance. This comes pre-equipped with the Ortofon OM5E cartridge, which boasts an elliptical diamond stylus. This feature improves tracking abilities and ensures superior sound quality during the playback of your records.

Solid Design
The Pro-Ject T1 Turntable boasts a CNC-machined, low resonance plinth that features no internal hollow space and is also plastic-free. This reduces any unwanted vibrations within the chassis from impacting the sound output and is also incredibly sustainable. This highly dense chassis is elevated from the surface by turntable feet which further limit vibrations to offer enhanced sound performance. The belt drive setup effectively absorbs shock and lowers resonance to ensure smooth and reliable rotation. The belt drive also lets you manually change between 33 and 45 RPM speeds from record to record.
High-Quality Platter
Propelling the sub-platter to create a fluid rotation, the motor turns the platter assembly on a low-friction 0.001mm main bearing, complete with brass brushing and a toughened stainless steel axle. The sub-platter acts as a sturdy foundation for the eight-millimetre glass platter, which in turn has been used to mitigate the disadvantages of resonance-sensitive plastic platters. The dense glass platter will keep your records in a stable position as they rotate, which ensures superior performance. The T1 also comes with a super-shielded phono cable, giving you the freedom to connect to a phono input or preamp of your choice.
World-Class Cartridge
Enjoy world-class record-tracking quality with the Ortofon OM 5E cartridge. Featuring an elliptical diamond stylus to optimise the sound of your record playback, the OM 5E has a tracking force range of 1.5-2.0g. This is pre-installed within the vibration-free headshell of the 8.6" aluminium, one-piece tonearm, which in turn has low-friction bearings to increase playback accuracy and a stylish, sleek look that will upscale your home decor. Using the adjustable hinges, you can also attach a dust cover to keep your records in pristine condition.
