The Pro-Ject E1 BT model adds an internal phono preamplifier to the standard E1 version of this turntable along with selectable wireless output via Bluetooth.
Plug-and-Play for Everyone
The E1 BT's plug-and-play design with pre-adjusted tracking force and anti-skating by experienced Pro-Ject technicians provides you the best settings for your turntable – sparing you lengthy set-up procedures. Just sit back and enjoy your favorite records without the installation hassles of far too many turntables. You'll be enjoying your favorite LPs and 45s within minutes of opening the box.
And you won't be fussing with belts and pulleys when you want to go from an LP to a 45 rpm single record. Enjoy the benefits of no-hassle speed change from 33 rpm to 45 rpm just by flipping a switch.
Built-in Bluetooth and Phono Preamp
The Pro-Ject E1 BT is the perfect turntable for you if you want to listen to LPs while connecting wirelessly to your gear. It not only does analog playback, but it also converts your favorite LPs to a digital data stream via its wireless Bluetooth connection and built-in A/D converter. Play your favorite tracks and send the data stream to your Bluetooth headphones, Bluetooth speakers, or Bluetooth enabled DAC.
In addition to the Bluetooth wireless output, you can also enjoy a wired connection. The majority of receivers and integrated amplifiers on the market lack a dedicated phono input for hooking up a turntable. They require an outboard phono preamp.
The E1 BT solves this problem for you. The built-in phono preamp makes the E1 BT incredibly versatile and allows you to connect it directly to any input on your amplifier or to a set of powered speakers. The phono preamp can also be switched off, which allows you to use your own phono preamp or your amplifier’s phono input, if you wish.
Includes Audio-Technica AT3600L Cartridge
A quality, time-tested Audio-Technica moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge is pre-mounted and precision-aligned. It's a nice sounding moving magnet cartridge with a diamond stylus, and it works beautifully with the Pro-Ject E1 BT's aluminum tonearm.
High-Performance Features
The E1 BT includes high-performance features unequaled in most entry-level turntables – and beyond. The stylish CNC-machined composite fiber plinth is carefully manufactured to ensure maximum solidity without the hollow spaces inside which you might find on other manufacturer's turntables in this price range.
Even the E1 BT's platter is new. The ABS polymer main platter is strengthened with purpose-designed ridges in order to create an ideal, anti-resonant platform for your vinyl. Topping the platter is an included felt mat.
Superior 8.6" Aluminum Tonearm
Pro-Ject is known for its superior tonearms, and the E1 BT doesn't disappoint. The lightweight and low-friction 8.6" aluminum tonearm is a gem. The tonearm is also versatile and will accommodate a wide range of cartridges should you decide to upgrade later down the road.
Includes Dustcover and Handy Accessories
Keep your E1 BT looking new and performing at its best! To protect your turntable from airborne dust and dirt, Pro-Ject includes an elegant acrylic dustcover with adjustable hinges. That's a great bonus at anywhere near the E1 Phono's price, but it's standard excellence for Pro-Ject. Also included are 4-ft. phono cables and an adapter for playing 7" 45-rpm singles.
