E1.2: A turntable for everyone
The E1.2 from Pro-Ject Audio Systems is the next generation E-Line turntable, designed to deliver a great sound experience on a limited budget, handmade in Europe. Its Plug & Play design, with pre-adjusted tracking force and anti-skating by experienced technicians, ensures optimal settings for your turntable.
NEW: Die-cast Aluminium Platter
The E1.2 features a newly designed 730g die-cast aluminium platter, replacing the previous ABS polymer platter. This creates an ideal, anti-resonant platform for your vinyl. The platter is reworked and precision-balanced for even spinning, improving rotational stability and overall acoustic performance by minimizing unwanted vibrations and resonance. The increased mass provides a more solid foundation for the vinyl, allowing the stylus to track with greater accuracy.

NEW: Premium Pick it MM E Cartridge
The phono cartridge is a critical component for sound quality, transforming record grooves into an electrical signal. The Pick it MM E utilizes a low mass system with a miniature neodymium generator magnet for lower inertia, resulting in improved tracking accuracy. Its conical diamond tip delivers warm, smooth high-quality audio with low background noise. The highly damped ABS body effectively reduces vibration-induced colorations.
Precision Tonearm
The E1.2 tonearm is crafted for exceptional performance straight out of the box. It is expertly adjusted at the factory for plug-and-play use. The tonearm features a heavy mass gimbal design for solid tracking and sound stability, with a precision bearing system ensuring smooth movement and clean sound. A carbon-reinforced, super stiff headshell reduces vibrations. The oversized diameter counterweight is positioned closer to the moving parts for improved balance and tracking, enhancing detail and bass response.

Precision Craftsmanship
The plinth, the foundation of vinyl playback, is CNC-machined from a rigid composite fiber with no hollow spaces. This solid, resonance-resistant construction minimizes unwanted vibrations for clear and energetic music reproduction. Available in high-gloss black, satin white, or walnut finishes, the plinth offers a premium aesthetic, making the turntable a beautiful centerpiece.
