Pro-Ject Primary E Phono Turntable with Ortofon OM Cartridge

With a smart design of the tonearm we were able to combine pure sound quality with an easy setup. Our Plug & Play design with pre-adjusted tracking force and anti skating has saved us costs and is extremely efficient in handling for our customers - with no compromise in sound. The lightweight and low friction aluminium tonearm is optimised for the Ortofon OM series and will bring out its maximum potential. The Primary E Phono is equipped with a switchable phono or line output, so it can be run with a dedicated external phono preamp or the integrated phono preamp connected to a line input (for example AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape, etc.). With intelligent construction and without needless features we were able to keep the price attractive, whilst still keeping the Primary E Phono hand made in Europe.
