T1
A New Generation of Turntable
Audiophile Design Pushed to a New Affordable Level
Premium Materials – Stylish Aesthetics – Rich & Lively Sound
Audiophile Engineering. No Plastic.
The stylish CNC-machined wooden plinth features no plastic parts and is carefully manufactured to ensure there are no hollow spaces inside, therefore avoiding unwanted vibrations within the chassis. Carrying this philosophy through the design, the glass platter is also a heavy, zero-resonance design – again avoiding the flaws of plastic or lightweight steel alternatives.
No corners cut. More sound.
The T1 tonearm is a new model, based on previous Pro-Ject designs. It is now a complete one-piece design, entirely made out of aluminium! Together with the low friction bearings, this guarantees absolute accuracy in use. The integrated headshell won‘t cause any additional vibrations either, and is a big improvement over other detachable, screwed-on or glued-on headshells! The belt driven motor is attached to a newly designed sub-platter, which is mounted into an ultra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened stainless steel axle and brass bushing. Alongside the electronically controlled motor system, the T1 is therefore able to ensure a smooth, anti-resonant rotational platform for the tonearm and cartridge to ride across.

Let us show you where T1 dwells
T1
The Base Model
For people who know what they want. The most cost-effective T1 variation: The base T1 has a direct phono output. Connect to your phono input or phono preamp of choice. Switch between 33 & 45 RPM via manual drive belt change.
T1 Phono SB
Phono Preamp and Speed Change
More convenience and flexibility: Compared to the base T1-model, the Phono SB version includes a built-in, Pro-Ject designed, high-quality phono MM stage and an electronic speed switch between 33 and 45 RPM.
T1 BT
Wireless Streaming
A wireless generation: On top of the base model, the T1 BT features a built-in phono stage and a BT transmitter for wireless music streaming to your favourite BT enabled speakers.
Our T1 is the first T-Line turntable, aiming to deliver true high-fidelity sound on a limited budget. Boasting premium materials, stylish aesthetics and a rich, lively sound, the extensive development process has ensured that there has been no compromise in the sound performance when achieving such an affordable price.

EISA Best Product 2020 – 2021
Pro-Ject has been building turntables for around 30 years and has virtually reinvented the market of quality-oriented budget turntables with the first Pro-Ject 1 and the later debut models. The T1 may be considered the current interpretation of this line and audiophile analog package with top sound at a low price. Pro-Ject offers versions from the absolute basic to versions with integrated phono preamplifier or wireless Bluetooth transmission. Always on board are the sturdy chassis, a high-precision bearing for the glass platter, and the newly developed aluminum tonearm made from one piece. Thus, the T1 achieves an extremely balanced, detailed sound image, where Ortofon's ready-made pre-installed MM pickup OM5E underlines the plug-and-play approach.
Hifi Pig reviews the T1 Phono SB
UK, 11.2019
The Pro-Ject T1 SB Phono is versatile and very easy to install in a number of different systems, from a
beginner‘s first Hifi to something more advancecd. Definitely something I will consider buying for his first system in his room.

“Another triumph of superb quality for the price. Bravo.”

• There’s a strong sense of balance, with a tight, well-rounded bass response without being too overpowering. Each instrument is easy to place within the soundstage and the delivery is confident and dynamic.
• I did get a sense of added focus and depth.
• The turntable definitely feels more solid to operate; the added weight really does make a great deal of difference.
