Pro-Ject introduces the Pro-Ject E1.2 PHONO, equipped with a built-in phono preamplifier for easy integration into existing hi-fi systems.
Following the launch of the E1.2, Dutch distributor Mika now announces the availability of the E1.2 Phono. According to the company, this new version offers the same core qualities but adds a switchable, high-quality phono preamplifier. As a result, the E1.2 Phono can be connected directly to any Line or CD input. This makes it an ideal plug-and-play turntable for anyone looking to enter the world of vinyl.
“While many turntables rely on a single-chip phono stage, the E1.2 PHONO features a true phono preamplifier. This ensures a warm, full and detailed sound that truly brings vinyl to life,” the announcement states. The switchable phono stage and RCA outputs provide flexibility, allowing the E1.2 PHONO to be connected directly to any amplifier or active speakers without the need for additional equipment.
