Reviews
“Warm sound quality and retro aesthetics define this device“
U.S.A., 06.2022
• Pro-Ject’s E1 BT turntable makes vinyl more approachable.
• It is also designed to easily connect directly to an amplifier that either has a phonograph stage or does not.
• This turntable is great if you want to stream vinyl to your backyard party or deputize guests to DJ while you tend bar.
• The sound quality is warm rather than overly bright, and high note details come through crisply.
• The E1 pulls that essence from every record we tested.
• Aesthetically, the Pro-Ject has advantages with a clear, dampened acrylic dust cover that lowers softly into place and stays open and out of the way when you’re swapping records.
“It continues to make high-performance Hi-Fi as affordable as possible“
