The new E1.2 borrows the sub-platter, which features a glass-fibre-reinforced ABS design, from Pro-Ject’s higher-end Debut turntable range.
And Pro-Ject upgraded the cartridge on the E1.2. Instead of the Audio Technica AT 3600 L that came equipped on the E1, the E1.2 comes with Pro-Ject’s own Pick it MM E cartridge, which the brand claims “offers precise tracking, smooth tonal balance, and reduced distortion.”
Price and availability
The Pro-Ject E1.2 comes in three different finishes: high-gloss black, satin white or walnut.
The turntable is available now in Europe and costs £249 or €329, which translates to approximately $335. And it is being distributed exclusively by Henley Audio, a UK-based hi-fi retailer.
