Description

The Project Automat Series A1 Automatic Turntable uses proven technologies to deliver a premium automatic turntable system worthy of the prestigious Pro-Ject Audio Systems name. The A1 is the first model in Pro-Ject’s Automat turntable series and delivers class-leading sound alongside an effortless user experience, which makes listening to vinyl records in high quality easier than ever before.

  • Pre-Set 8.6″ tonearm
  • Factory-mounted Ortofon OM 10 cartridge with elliptical diamond stylus
  • Built-in MM phono stage for easy connection to an audio system
  • Fixed high-quality RCA cables for connection to a phono stage

Design and Construction

The A1 is both elegant and minimalist in its aesthetics while adhering to purist audiophile standards to deliver the best possible sound. This expectation is achieved by the extensive use of premium, anti-resonant materials and technologies throughout its construction.

From its sturdy wooden base sat upon four silicon-damped feet through to its damped metal platter and reinforced headshell – every part of the A1 automatic turntable keeps unwanted resonances away from the musical signal for perfect playback.

Fully Automatic

What sets the Project A1 apart from others is its fully automatic belt-drive system. This well-established technology, originally developed and produced by Alfred Fehrenbacher GmbH in St. Georgen in the Black Forest (Germany) delivers a quiet, efficient, and reliable fully automatic experience at both 33 and 45 RPM.

All you have to do is set the playback speed and then push START; the A1 takes care of the rest for you.

Phono Stage

There is further convenience thanks to its built-in moving magnet (MM) phono stage, meaning it is ready to connect into almost any audio system with a spare LINE or AUX input available. However, by making the phono stage switchable, you can also bypass this feature for systems that already have or wish to upgrade to an external phono pre-amp.

Aluminium Tonearm and Cartridge

The Automat A1 turntable features a sturdy, low-mass aluminium tonearm perfectly suited to Ortofon’s popular OM cartridge range. The supplied OM 10 cartridge with its elliptical diamond stylus profile is pre-aligned and pre-set for tracking-force, thus allowing for “plug and play” playback of the turntable out of the box. The OM range can also be easily improved with stylus upgrades that can further enhance the sound from your system.

Made In Europe

The Automat A1 Automatic turntable is a pure Pro-Ject product. Made in Europe to exacting standards, it achieves a stylish aesthetic and a first-class sound incomparable on the market. Supplied with a detachable dust cover and Pro-Ject’s popular Connect-IT E turntable-ready RCA phono cables in the box; this is as near to plug-and-play convenience as you can get while still experiencing a true hi-fi sound.
