Pro-Ject Automat A1 Turntable

Description

Automat A1

The A1 introduces the completely new Automat Line from Pro-Ject Audio Systems.

Featuring a fully automatic start/stop system, with the automatics completely disengaged and decoupled during the entire run-time of your record. The fully mechanical automatics are engaged when you press start and the tonearm is automatically moved to the lead in groove of the record. Once playing, the automatics are completely taken out of the equation and do not affect the playback quality.

Pro-Ject have always had one purpose since their establishment in 1991 – to bring HiFi Stereo music enjoyment to as many people as possible. A1 expands the product catalog with a fully automatic entry-level turntable and creates new opportunities for future vinyl beginners and enthusiasts.

The A1 is handmade in Germany by a traditional manufacturer with a wealth of experience in making automatic turntables. Even the individual components are 98% made and produced in Germany.

Paired with Pro-Ject technology and ideas, this sets new standards in automatic turntable design. The new A1 is your best companion to comfortably enjoy your favourite vinyl.

Pro-Ject Audio Systems were founded in 1991 during the era of the Compact Disc, their mission being to offer the best analogue experience for reasonable prices. In a time when digital audio was on the rise, and vinyl declared as outdated and dead, Heinz Lichtenegger kept his belief in the simple but best way to enjoy music – turntables.

The company strive to create astonishing products with impeccable value, using the best components for the price and manufacturing handmade goods solely in Europe. Today, with cutting edge technologies and machines, Pro-Ject ship worldwide to over eighty countries. All turntables are made by hand, from scratch in the Czech Republic.
