EISA Awards: Award-Winning Product

Each year, dozens of European journalists gather to select the best electronic products of the year. Awarded by a diverse and impartial jury, the EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) awards recognize exceptional products for their performance, design, or ergonomics.

What Hi-Fi? 5 stars

A global reference, What Hifi? is one of the most comprehensive magazines covering Home Cinema and Hifi. The "5 stars" award distinguishes the highest quality products, according to this British magazine.

Overview

Featuring a lacquered MDF chassis and platter, an outboard motor with aluminum pulley, an aluminum tonearm, and an Ortofon OM10 cartridge, the Essential III is understated and efficient. Available in 7 versions, each has at least one unique characteristic. Choose the model that best suits your needs!

The recommended phono preamp for the base Essential III and SB turntables is the Phono Box MM. This small device preamplifies the signal according to the RIAA standard. Simply connect the phono preamp to your integrated amplifier to enjoy your vinyl records. If your integrated amp already has a phono input, an external phono preamp is not necessary. If you have this type of integrated amp and want to invest in a pre-amplified turntable, remember to connect it to a line input, not the Phono input.
