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.
