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.

Overview

The Pro-Ject T2 W is a hi-fi turntable that introduces significant advancements in the realm of analog audio. This model combines the classic sound of vinyl with modern connectivity, meeting the expectations of music enthusiasts seeking both quality and flexibility.

Sleek Design for Optimal Performance

The T2 W features a minimalist and elegant design, staying true to Pro-Ject’s signature aesthetic. Its MDF chassis rests on dampening feet, ensuring optimal isolation from unwanted vibrations. The 10 mm thick glass platter, weighing 1.7 kg, provides exceptional stability and high inertia, ensuring precise and lossless playback.

The 23 cm (9-inch) aluminum tonearm combines lightness and rigidity, minimizing interference. The completely redesigned anti-skating system now uses adjustable springs to optimize playback performance. A nickel-plated counterweight completes the setup, ensuring long-lasting tonearm balance and ideal contact between the cartridge and the vinyl.

Cutting-Edge Technology at the Heart of Analog

The Pro-Ject T2 W is equipped with an AC motor and an electronic speed control unit, ensuring stable and precise platter rotation. Switching between 33 and 45 RPM is done electronically, offering added convenience.

The turntable comes with a Sumiko Rainier moving magnet cartridge, handcrafted in Japan. Its resonance-optimized body reduces background noise and extracts every detail from the grooves. This cartridge is renowned for delivering a well-layered, clear, and warm soundstage.

The Vinyl Streaming Revolution

The standout innovation of the T2 W is its built-in Wi-Fi module. This feature allows vinyl sound to be streamed over a local network, opening up new listening possibilities. Compatible with UPnP/DLNA and AirPlay 2 protocols, the turntable integrates seamlessly into a multiroom audio system.

A 24-bit/48 kHz analog-to-digital converter and an MP3/FLAC encoder are built-in, enabling music streaming in standard compressed formats or lossless quality. The dedicated “Pro-Ject Control” app provides an intuitive interface to manage all the turntable’s features.

High-Quality Phono Preamp

The T2 W includes a high-quality dual-stage MM phono preamp. This feature, a first for Pro-Ject at this price range, allows the turntable to connect directly to a hi-fi amplifier without requiring an external preamp. The separation of digital and analog components into two distinct stages ensures top-tier audio performance.

Unprecedented Versatility

Thanks to its Wi-Fi connectivity, the Pro-Ject T2 W adapts to a wide range of audio setups. It can be paired with hi-fi wireless speakers, connected speakers, or integrated into an existing multiroom system. This flexibility allows you to enjoy the charm of vinyl in any room of your home without compromising sound quality.
