Pro-Ject VT-E black

The Pro-Ject VT-E is an innovative hi-fi turntable that stands out with its unique vertical design. This audiophile model delivers high-quality sound while adding an original aesthetic touch to your interior.

A Vertical Turntable That Breaks Conventions

The Pro-Ject VT-E challenges traditional turntable norms with its vertical orientation. This bold design not only saves space but also provides a captivating visual experience while playing records. The turntable can be placed on furniture using its rear tripod or mounted directly on the wall with the included mounting kit. Its slightly backward-tilted platter ensures optimal cartridge performance on the record grooves.

High-Quality Sound Despite Technical Challenges

Despite the challenges posed by its vertical orientation, the Pro-Ject VT-E delivers remarkable audio performance. It incorporates proven components from other models in the brand’s lineup, such as the motor from the Essential II, ensuring stable and precise playback. The 8.6-inch aluminum tonearm features a specific mechanism that enables flawless vertical playback. The pre-mounted Ortofon OM5e cartridge provides lively and balanced sound reproduction, staying true to Pro-Ject’s warm audio signature.

Ease of Use and Versatility

The VT-E stands out for its ease of setup and use. Delivered pre-adjusted, it requires minimal tweaking to be operational. A specific record clamp securely holds the vinyl in a vertical position, ensuring stable playback even with slightly warped records. The turntable offers two playback speeds (33 and 45 RPM), which can be manually selected by moving the belt on the motor pulley.

Sleek Design and Refined Finishes

Its high-density MDF base helps reduce unwanted vibrations, while its clean lines make it a true decorative piece. The finishes are meticulous, including a high-quality captive phono cable with gold-plated RCA connectors.

A Compact Audiophile Solution

The VT-E is designed for vinyl enthusiasts seeking a high-quality turntable with minimal space requirements. Its compact dimensions (430 x 345 x 245 mm on a table) make it an ideal choice for small spaces. Despite its reduced size, it makes no compromises on sound quality, offering an immersive and detailed listening experience.

Model Variants and Upgrades

Pro-Ject also offers a VT-E BT version, which includes a built-in phono preamp and Bluetooth connectivity, enabling wireless use with compatible speakers or headphones. This variant provides even greater versatility to suit modern audio systems.
