Fully Automatic Design
The A1 has a fully automatic start/stop with the automatic mechanisms being completely disengaged and decoupled during the entire runtime of the record. The fully mechanical automatic mechanisms are engaged when you press start and the tonearm is automatically moved to the lead-in groove of the record. Once playing, the automatic mechanisms are completely taken out of the equation and do not affect the playback quality.
Ultra-Light-Mass Aluminum Tonearm
The A1 features an 8.3″ ultra-light-mass aluminum tonearm. Together with the Ortofon OM10, you’ll get extraordinarily fast response and detail in terms of transients and microdynamics. Tracking force and anti-skating are factory pre-adjusted, making the A1 plug & play ready within a few seconds, making it well-suited for vinyl beginners and experienced listeners alike.
Ortofon OM10 Cartridge for Detailed Response & Microdynamics
The OM series of cartridges have their developmental roots and legacy in ultra-light-mass tonearm designs. Pre-fitted and adjusted in the Pro-Ject Audio factory, it is the perfect partner for your A1.
Headshell Reinforced with Carbon Fiber
The headshell is made of a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer, which is super stable and rigid while keeping the weight super low. The composite material results in excellent internal damping of resonances.
Heavy Wood Chassis that Avoids Hollow Spaces
The chassis avoids hollow spaces wherever possible, with just enough space to precision-fit all the inner workings of the A1. As a result, the heavy mass of the chassis reduces unwanted resonances to a minimum.
Precision-Balanced, Damped Aluminum Platter
The damping ring on the inside adds weight and reduces resonances. In the last step, the platter is turned and precision balanced to receive its fine edges and lowest wow and flutter deviations.
Hardwired Semi-Balanced RCA Cable
To provide an enhanced connection to your amp, Pro-Ject Audio uses a high-quality phono RCA cable. The Connect it E is a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable with superior shielding.
Built-In Switchable Preamp
If you don’t have a phono preamplifier in your current HiFi setup, you can use the built-in one; if you want to use another phono preamp, you can easily switch it off.
33 1/3 & 45 rpm Playback
No need to change the belt position. Easily change speed with the push of only a single button and listen to your favorite LPs as well as singles.
