Pro-Ject T1 EVO Belt-Drive Turntable with Ortofon OM10 Cartridge & Electronic Speed Switch - High Gloss Black

The New Generation of Audiophile Entry-Level

The Pro-Ject T1 EVO is the latest evolution of the award-winning T1 Series, designed to deliver true high-fidelity sound without breaking the bank. This new "EVO" model retains the stylish, CNC-machined aesthetics of its predecessor but introduces critical performance upgradesmost notably a premium Ortofon OM10 cartridge and a convenient electronic speed switch. Hand-made in Europe, the T1 EVO eliminates hollow spaces and plastic parts to ensure your vinyl is played back with absolute precision and clarity.

Key Features

1. Electronic Speed Switching Gone are the days of manually moving the belt to change speeds. The T1 EVO features a newly integrated electronic speed switch. With a simple rocker switch, you can effortlessly toggle between 33 and 45 RPM.
2. Premium Ortofon OM10 Cartridge While many entry-level tables use basic styli, the T1 EVO comes pre-mounted with the Ortofon OM10 Moving Magnet cartridge. Featuring an elliptical diamond stylus, the OM10 comes factory-aligned with the tracking force pre-set, making setup plug-and-play.
3. Anti-Resonant Construction The T1 EVO is built on a solid, CNC-machined plinth finished in High Gloss Black. Unlike competitors that use plastic chassis with hollow spaces (which act as echo chambers for vibration), this heavy, solid base ensures no unwanted resonance colors your music. This is paired with an 8mm thick, blasted-glass platter that provides a heavy, stable surface for your records, vastly outperforming lightweight aluminum or plastic platters.
4. Precision Tonearm & Sub-Platter The turntable utilizes a one-piece, 8.6-inch aluminum tonearm. By integrating the headshell directly into the arm tube, Pro-Ject eliminates the vibration often found in detachable headshells. The tonearm rides on low-friction bearings for smooth tracking. Beneath the glass surface, the T1 EVO utilizes a newly designed sub-platter mounted into an ultra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle, ensuring smooth rotation and low noise.
5. Connect It E Cables Included in the box is the Pro-Ject "Connect it E" phono cable. It is a super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance phono cable specifically designed for turntable use, ensuring the delicate signal from the cartridge reaches your amplifier without interference.
