Platter and drive belt installation Please remove drive belt from accessories box and install it as shown in the following illustration. Put the felt mat on the top of the platter. FELT MAT MAIN PLATTER DRIVE BELT SUB-PLATTER 2. Cartridge installation, stylus exchange * If you purchased this turntable in a package that included the cartridge, this has already been done for you. Install the cartridge into the aluminium headshell, using the appropriate hardware included with your cartridge. All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Connect the cartridge as indicated below: · White · Red · Green · Blue left channel L+ right channel R+ right channel Rleft channel L- For correct cartridge alignment, use the two-point cartridge alignment protractor provided with your T1 accessories. If unfamiliar with two-point setup, please refer to your dealer. A damaged or worn stylus may harm your record collection and should be replaced. Please remove stylus protection before pulling the stylus from the cartridge and replace for a new one. Stylus type is exchange for pre-mounted cartridge Sumiko Rainier: Stylus Sumiko Rainier. If in doubt, consult your local dealer or distributor. 5 © Pro-Ject Audio Systems · Pro-Ject T2 W · Revision 14.07.2023 3. Vertical Tracking Force setting (VTF) The T2 W comes with the counterweight already assembled on the tonearm, and the tracking force is factory pre-adjusted. To adjust or fine tune the tracking force manually, loosen the hexagonal screw on top of the counterweight (6) using the allen key provided. Remove the stylus protection cover and place the stylus pressure gauge onto the platter. To set the required VTF, lower the tonearm lift lever (10) as indicated in the illustration and place the tip of the stylus on one of the points on the scale. For example, the Sumiko Rainier requires 20mN of tracking force, so place the stylus on the 20mN point. If the stylus gauge becomes level when the tonearm is lowered down onto the desired point, then the correct pressure has been achieved. However, if there is insufficient or excessive pressure, the gauge will either not move or tilt down. STYLUS PRESSURE GAUGE To adjust the amount of pressure, carefully move the counterweight (11) along the support rod, until the stylus pressure is sufficient to raise the pressure gauge to the level position. Moving the counterweight (6) away from the cartridge will reduce pressure and towards will increase pressure. Finally secure the counterweight (6) using hexagonal key provided. VTF+ ~ VTF- 4. Maintenance and cleaning Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage. If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching. 6 © Pro-Ject Audio Systems · Pro-Ject T2 W · Revision 14.07.2023 5. Switching on and off, changing replay speed The turntable is equipped with a three-position switch for ON/OFF and electronic speed change. To play records at 33 rpm. press this switch (3) to the rear side. To play records at 45 rpm. press this switch (3) to the front side as shown on illustration below. 33 rpm 45 rpm 6. Anti-skating The anti-skating force is pre-adjusted from the factory corresponding to the tracking force. Sumiko Rainier recommended tracking force 20mN = anti-skating set to 2 (middle position). You can adjust the anti-skating by rotating the anti-skating setting screw to the left or right. Anti-skating setting screw 7. Connection to the amplifier The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets with LINE output (the internal phono preamp of the T2W is always on). Connect the RCA outputs of your T2 W to a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your amplifier. Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the left channel black or white. The earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided). The analogue RCA output remains purely analogue and is not digitized, not affected by any additional delay or in any other way influenced by the Wi-Fi capabilities of the turntable. You can rest assured that the analogue output will always give you the pure analogue output signal. 7 © Pro-Ject Audio Systems · Pro-Ject T2 W · Revision 14.07.2023 RCA Line Output Stream Control Button Wi-Fi Control LED Wi-Fi Reset Button Ethernet Socket 8. Wi-Fi App Control: Please download the App "Pro-Ject Control" (Android and iOS) to control the Wi-Fi functionalities of your T2 W. Browser Control: You can enter die IP address of your T2 W into any webbrowser on a device connected to the same network and control the Wi-Fi functionalities of your T2 W in exactly the same way as with the App. You can use IP Scanners or get the IP address from the "Pro-Ject Control" App. Alternatively, the Pro-Ject Control App will show you the IP address of your turntable as well, after you connected it to your network via ethernet or Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Startup The Wi-Fi module of your T2 W will boot up as soon as you connect the power supply to your turntable. You can see its status from the colour of the LED: Red static: Wi-Fi module starting up Red blinking: Module started up, no ethernet or Wi-Fi connection established Green static: Connected to ethernet or Wi-Fi network Blue static: Streaming audio Blue blinking: Previous streaming receiver unavailable Network Connection Ethernet: Connect an ethernet cable, the network connection will be automatically established and LED turns green. Ethernet is recommended for lossless streaming (note that also your streaming receiver should be connected via ethernet and not Wi-Fi to avoid connectivity issues). Wi-Fi: You can add the T2 W to your Wi-Fi network via our "Pro-Ject Control" App. Connect your T2 W to power and wait until Wi-Fi module has finished booting (Status LED). Then open the "Pro-Ject Control" App and you will see your turntable in the list of devices waiting to be connected to a Wi-Fi network. If the turntable and the Wi-Fi Setup don't show up immediately, don't worry. It can take 10 seconds to scan for available devices. Press "Wi-Fi Setup" and follow the next steps. 8 © Pro-Ject Audio Systems · Pro-Ject T2 W · Revision 14.07.2023 Wi-Fi setup is done via BLE (= Bluetooth Low Energy), so please make sure your phone is granting Bluetooth access to the "Pro-Ject Control" App. For BLE, you do not need to pair your phone to the turntable. BLE always, doesn't matter which BLE device, works WITHOUT pairing. A low energy Bluetooth connection can be established on the fly automatically, just by having Bluetooth turned on and access granted to the App. Please allow 10-15 seconds for your phone to discover the turntable after first starting the app, depending on how fast the Bluetooth connection is. If necessary, restart your phone after granting access. Wi-Fi Control Button Press for 2 seconds: Turns Wi-Fi on or off Short press: When turned on, start streaming to the previously selected streaming device The Wi-Fi Control Button is a quick interface for you to start streaming to the streamer that you previously selected in the Pro-Ject Control App or T2 W webinterface. You can also turn off the Wi-Fi module should you wish to declutter your Wi-Fi network. Energy consumption is negligible in idle mode when the module is turned on. But it won't hurt to turn the module off, if you don't use your turntable for longer periods to save energy consumption. In usual operation you will probably not need this button, as you will choose which device to stream to in your App or webinterface. But once you have chosen an output streamer once, you can comfortably start streaming to it again in a later session, by just pressing the button once. This saves time and there is no need to break out the App or webinterface. Pro-Ject Control App & Webinterface With the Pro-Ject Control App or the T2 W's webinterface you'll do most of your interaction with the T2 W. 10:46 ·~ =-ro-Ject <D f: ro-Ject f: ro-Ject ~ Pro-Ject-56a429 (b Rs stream box s2 ultra [t) Stream Box RS Rs stream box s2 ultra [e) Stream Box RS r 1 1 Stream Box 52 OS room r 1 1 Stream Box 52 OS room r 1 1 Technical Department SHOP - Sones Five Med1a Renderer Den - So nos Play: S Media Renderer Shop stream box s2 ultra Samsung The Frame 55 rI I Technical Department SHOP - Sones Five Media Renderer Den - Sanos Play: 5 Media Renderer Shop stream box s2 ultra Samsung The Frame 55 After connecting the T2 W to your network, choose which device to control (should you have more than one on your network) from the main screen and from there choose which output device you want stream your turntable to. You can stream to as many output devices as your network connection can handle. To stop the stream simply select the output device again, the blue outline will go away, and streaming to that device will stop. Allow some time after choosing an output device and sending the stream to them. Each device reacts differently past and reports the status back. Some are almost instantaneous and some take a few seconds. The T2 W uses UPNP to hand over the digital audio streams and the streams itself are either MP3 or FLAC, and implementations can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. 9 © Pro-Ject Audio Systems · Pro-Ject T2 W · Revision 14.07.2023 The more output devices you stream to, the more network bandwidth you need. The T2 W has very powerful Wi-Fi and ethernet and internal processing power and can in theory handle hundreds of lossless audio streams at the same time. The bottleneck is most likely your Wi-Fi access point or Wi-Fi pollution (too many different Wi-Fi networks in too close proximity to each other. Options Menu The wheel in the top left corner takes you to the options menu. Automatically starts streaming to the last selected output device as soon as the motor of the T2 W is turned ON. Enter Wi-Fi connection data or configure Ethernet Displays network information Check back here regularly for Firmware Updates Settings for language, power management and factory reset Advanced streaming settings Streaming Compatibility The standard audio stream is designed to be compatible with as many devices as possible. Requirements are that your streamer is UPNP capable and can play MP3 encoded live-streams. An up-to-date list of compatible manufacturers and devices can be found on the T2 W product page on our Pro-Ject Audio Systems website. Lossless Audio Stream The lossless audio stream in the Advanced Settings is not intended to be compatible with as many devices as possible, but is intended to be used with high-end streamers like our own Stream Box S2 Ultra in excellent network conditions. Please make sure to use this setting only on really good W-Fi connections or with ethernet cables, as lossless requires roughly 6x more bandwidth. At Pro-Ject Audio Systems the Stream Box S2 Ultra and Stream Box S2 are compatible with the lossless stream. A list of lossless compatible devices/manufacturers can be found on the T2 W product page on our Pro-Ject Audio Systems website. If the lossless audio stream is turned on, only selected compatible devices will receive it, the rest will continue to receive the standard compressed stream, so you won't run into any major bugs or issues. 10 © Pro-Ject Audio Systems · Pro-Ject T2 W · Revision 14.07.2023 Secondary Stream The secondary stream in the Advanced Settings is a nice helper, in case your streaming device is not UPNP capable. Many streamers allow adding custom radio stations. If you start the secondary stream and copy the stream-link into your webbrowser or add a custom radio station, you'll get to enjoy your T2 W on many more devices. The secondary stream is only available as MP3. Airplay While the T2 W is not able to play to Airplay devices directly, you can build a workaround with the secondary stream. Long press on the stream link -> Open Link -> Press Airplay symbol -> Choose which device to play to Network Standby By default, your T2 W is configured to enter network standby after 20 minutes of inactivity. You can disable this functionality at your choice under Device Settings -> Power Management -> Auto Standby Mode. If the T2 W is greyed out like here, it means it is currently in Network Standby mode. You can wake it up with the power button. You can also manually set it to network standby mode using the power button on the home screen. 11 © Pro-Ject Audio Systems · Pro-Ject T2 W · Revision 14.07.2023 Technical specifications Pro-Ject T2 / Pro-Ject 9'' Nominal speeds Speed variance Wow and flutter Signal to noise Effective tonearm mass Effective tonearm length Overhang WLAN standards 33/45 r.p.m. 33: ±0.60% 45: ±0.50% 33: ±0.19% 45: ±0.17% -67dB 9.5g 9" (230mm) 22 mm IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2x2 MIMO; 2.4/5GHz Power consumption 4.5W Power input 15V/ 0.8 A DC, universal power supply Dimensions (W x H x D) 457 x 134 x 335mm Weight 5.5kg Dimensions packaging (W x H x D) 542 x 300 x 412mm Weight incl. packaging 8.5kg Technical specifications MM-Cartridge Sumiko Rainier Frequency range Channel separation Output voltage Recommended load impedance Compliance/stylus type Recommended tracking force Capacitance Weight 15-25.000Hz 25dB /1kHz 5mV 47kohms/amplifier connection MM-input 10×10-6cm/dyn @ 100Hz elliptical 20mN 100pF 200pF 6.5g 12 © Pro-Ject Audio Systems · Pro-Ject T2 W · Revision 14.07.2023 Potential incorrect use and fault conditions Pro-Ject turntables are manufactured to the highest standards and undergo strict quality controls before leaving the factory.

Furthermore, the glass platter in the T2 W has been made heavier and thicker compared to its predecessor, ensuring a zero-resonance design that effectively eliminates the shortcomings associated with plastic or lightweight steel alternatives. Complementing these improvements, purpose-selected turntable feet effectively isolate the T2 W from ambient vibrations present in the vicinity of your hi-fi system. New Tonearm & Anti-Skating The tonearm on the T2 W has been improved with a longer arm tube. With its 9" effective length and stiff aluminium construction, this one-piece tonearm also features new updated low-friction bearings to accommodate the increased length and diameter for absolute accuracy in use. Besides the clean and stylish looks, the integrated headshell won`t cause any additional vibrations either, and is a big improvement over other detachable, screwed-on or glued-on headshells! The T2 W also comes brand new with an adjustable spring-based anti-skating mechanism that optimizes performance and extracts the utmost potential from your cartridge. Speed Control, Motor and Drive The motor and drive system in the T2 W remain identical to those found in the T1. The motor drives a belt system, connected to our newly designed sub-platter exclusive to the T-line. This sub-platter is mounted on an ultra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing. Where most alternative products may use un-regulated DC motors with wide speed fluctuations, the T2 W features our proven system of an electronically regulated, precision-speed AC motor. The T2 W also comes with electronic speed switching between 33 and 45 RPM. The result is a low-noise, stable drive system for the turntable.

Page 3/4 Completely New Built-in Phono Stage The T2 W has a high-quality dual stage split-passive MM phono preamp this is the first time a Pro-Ject turntable has used an integrated phono-preamp of this level. We considered this a necessity in order to maximize the Wi-Fi performance. We wanted a truly stunning phono stage to match and give the T2 W unrivalled longevity and audio performance. Supplied with a high-value Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge (MSRP 175), this is a true hi-fi playback system with no corners cut. PRODUCT INFORMATION Streaming and phono board: careful PCB layout, huge size of phono stage (on the right) carefully separated from digital components on the left Semi-balanced phono cable Like the T1, the T2 W is then finished with super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance phono cables, purpose-designed by Pro-Ject not off-the shelf RCA cables. There is also a dust cover for extra protection and a felt mat to protect your records. PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS www.project-audio.com Technical data and price changes reserved.
