Lab Overview

šŸ“ŒLAB POINTS

  • audiophile-caliberĀ fully automatic turntable
  • automatic operation: 1) switch activates motor and tonearm moves onto recordĀ 2) tonearm returns at the end of the side and shuts off motor 3) also works manually
  • includes pre-mounted Sumiko Rainier cartridge ($150 when purchased separately)
  • sub-chassis design: tonearm, platter bearing + motor are affixed to a separate floating sub-chassis for further isolation from external noise, resonance + interference
  • improved automatic mechanism, many plastic parts have been upgraded to aluminumĀ 
  • 8.3" ultra-light aluminum tonearm is optimized for automatic play; new decoupled counterweight design - tracking force is set by a dial; spring-based adjustable anti-tracking control; new carbon-fiber headshell

"When Pro-Ject took over the German factory responsible for the classic automatic hifi turntable, they immediately improved the base model with the Automat A1. With the higher-end A2, they've reinvented the automatic. With an improved automatic mechanism, sub-chassis, and tonearm, Pro-Ject has created the finest automatic we've encountered." - TTL

šŸ”ŽTECH SPECS

  • drive principle: belt drive, fully automatic
  • dimensions: 16.9 x 5.9 x 14.4 inches / 430 x 150 x 365mm
  • weight:Ā 16.1 lbs /Ā 7.3 kg

"The A2 uses a new system for setting the tracking force. Damping the counterweight makes the tonearm as a whole more robust and decouples the counterweight from the tonearm reducing resonant frequencies. The tracking force is set by turning a dial directly on the tonearm bearing. Not only is this system very fast, precise and efficient, it also keeps the center of gravity directly on top of the bearing center. The spring based anti-skating can also be adjusted directly on the tonearm base." - Pro-Ject

  • pre-mounted Sumiko Rainier cartridge
  • Connect It E RCA cables
