Project Signature 10 Turntable

The impressive Project Signature 10 Turntable is a true high-end turntable by Pro-Ject Audio Systems. It is a more affordable, easier-to-accommodate version of the superior Signature 12 and uses many of the coveted design aspects of the flagship.

• Built-in speed control brings added convenience for easy changing between 33 and 45 RPM
• Premium MDF plinth packed with metal granulate for added mass and reduced resonance
• Built-in AC generator creates a clean power supply for the motor
• Luxury build quality with extensive mass-loading principles incorporated throughout
• Sizeable alloy platter featuring magnetic decoupling and vinyl top
• Magnetic feet that assist with decoupling the turntable from the surface beneath
• Pro-Ject’s Signature Tonearm made from Aluminium, provides superior tracking

Large Plinth

The large, beautifully finished plinth is made from MDF and packed with metal granulate to create a heavy, non-resonant base for the turntable. It then sits on four powerful magnetic feet, lined with TPE pillows, for effective decoupling from a hi-fi stand.

The result is a successful combination of the ‘high-mass’ and ‘floating turntable’ design principles, which Pro-Ject first successfully merged with the high-end Xtension turntables.

Main Platter

The Signature 10 uses a mass-loaded magnetic sub-chassis on top of the main plinth, which is perfect for reducing resonance and noise transfer to the cartridge. The large, heavy main platter—taken directly from the Signature 12 turntable—rides on this sub-chassis, rotating on an inverted ceramic main bearing.

The main platter is machined from a specially selected, resonance-optimised metal alloy. The internal lining features damping material, topped with melted vinyl records. The turntable features the Signature Record Puck as part of the package.

Motor and Speed Control

A high-tolerance speed controller powers the external motor, which also allows for easy switching between 33 and 45RPM. The motor rotates the platter via a purpose designed perimeter drive belt, which offers exceptional timing.

Signature Tonearm

The striking 10″ Signature tonearm is a unique Pro-Ject design. Unlike anything else in the range, Pro-Ject’s Signature Tonearms are made from different metal and aluminium alloys and are tooled with ultra-precise diamond cutters on CNC machinery.

Inside the tonearm tube, damping material is meticulously applied to add mass and acoustic integrity, but in order to keep the iconic toe-tapping sound that Pro-Ject is associated with, the tube is mounted on a special, oil-damped Uni-Pivot bearing. To further aid exact set-up, Signature Tonearms can have the VTA, Azimuth and Overhang easily adjusted.

The use of a detachable headshell allows the Signature 10 to easily accommodate a variety of high-end cartridges, whether they’re for a specific use (such as Mono recordings) or to suit a certain musical style or genre.

Signature 10

The Signature 10 is a true audiophile device, taking all the elements of the flagship but making them more accessible and easier to fit into an existing space.
