Pro-Ject Introduces T1-EVO Series Turntables Into Highly Competitive Market

priced from $449-$599

Mistelbach, Austria – September 24th, 2024 – Pro-Ject Audio Systems just announced the latest edition to the T Series of turntables, the T1 EVO, T1 EVO Phono & T1 EVO BT. Improvements include the Ortofon OM10 MM phono cartridge, a larger Debut-sized sub-platter as well as electronic speed change for all 3 models.

The precision-machined chassis remains free of resonant hollow spaces. The high-mass tempered glass record platter is anti-resonant & great for rotational stability (and looks good too).

The T1 EVO uses the tried & true 8.6” 1-piece aluminum armtube with high-quality bearings. Most importantly, there are 3 models that cover varying needs for system integration & convenience. The T1 EVO is a conventional turntable (pick your own phono preamp). The T1 EVO Phono has a built-in MM phono preamp that’s also defeatable, while the T1 EVO BT has a built-in phono preamp that also sends Bluetooth for wireless enjoyment of vinyl.

 

T1 EVO turntables will begin shipping in the U.S. market late October, retailing for $449 (T1 EVO), $499 (T1 EVO Phono) & $599 (T1 EVO BT) USD
