Description

Essential III

Offering a variety of enhancements compared to its successful predecessor (the multi-award winning Essential II), the Essential III turntable from Pro-Ject Audio Systems features a diamond-cut aluminium drive pulley, a resonance-optimised MDF main platter and MDF chassis.

The refined, high-precision platter bearing has significantly lower tolerances than Essential II. Essential III is equipped with an 8.6" aluminium tonearm with the high-quality pickup OM10 by the phonographic cartridge pioneer Ortofon.

The included Phono RCA cable (Connect-It E) is a high-quality semi-balanced interconnect cable with gold-plated RCA connectors that guarantees a perfect audio connection. Plus the special decoupling feet isolate the turntable from any supporting surface to deliver the best sound possible.

Brand

Pro-Ject

Pro-Ject Audio was 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 In a time when digital audio was on the rise, and vinyl declared as outdated and dead, Heinz Lichtenegger kept his belief in the simple but best way to enjoy music – turntables.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. From the tiniest screw to the chassis, everything is done by in-house technicians.
