Pro-Ject AC/DC (limited edition)

The Pro-Ject AC/DC Limited Edition turntable is a vibrant tribute to the legendary Australian hard rock band. This new addition to Pro-Ject’s Artist series combines a striking design inspired by AC/DC’s iconic lightning bolt logo with the audiophile performance that has made the Austrian manufacturer famous. Designed for music enthusiasts and collectors, this belt-driven turntable offers an exceptional listening experience while serving as a visual centerpiece in any listening space.

An electrifying design inspired by a rock legend

The Pro-Ject AC/DC Limited Edition immediately stands out with its bold rock’n’roll aesthetic. The 28 mm glossy black MDF plinth rests on three height-adjustable spiked feet, ensuring effective isolation from unwanted vibrations. What truly catches the eye is the transparent acrylic sub-platter, illuminated by red LED lighting that evokes the musical universe of the band behind “Highway to Hell.”

The 10 mm thick solid red glass platter perfectly complements this aesthetic while providing exceptional rotational stability thanks to its “zero resonance” design. This high mass ensures precise and faithful playback of your favorite vinyl records.

The 8.6-inch (21.8 cm) tonearm is another distinctive feature of this turntable. Made of acrylic for optimal vibration absorption, it features a red lightning bolt design, reminiscent of AC/DC’s iconic symbol. This design is not just for show—it incorporates a spring-based anti-skating system for precise and reliable playback with excellent tracking accuracy.

Audiophile performance worthy of the greatest riffs

Beyond its spectacular appearance, the Pro-Ject AC/DC Limited Edition delivers sound performance that meets the expectations of the most demanding audiophiles. Equipped with a pre-installed Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, this turntable delivers dynamic and detailed sound straight out of the box. This moving magnet cartridge, known for its warm and precise sound reproduction, features an elliptical diamond capable of reading grooves with great fidelity.

The belt-drive system with electronic speed change allows for easy switching between 33⅓ and 45 RPM. The stainless steel spindle of the sub-platter rotates in a bronze bushing, ensuring stable and silent rotation for distortion-free sound reproduction.

Gold-plated RCA connectors and the included semi-symmetrical Connect It E phono cable, using high-quality copper conductors, ensure a pure and interference-free signal path. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 68 dB, this turntable captures all the nuances and raw energy that have made AC/DC famous.

A collector’s item for rock fans

This AC/DC Limited Edition turntable perfectly fits Pro-Ject’s tradition of creating turntables that pay homage to musical legends. It offers fans of the Australian band a unique collector’s item that celebrates their musical legacy.

This turntable is ideal for rediscovering AC/DC classics like “Back in Black,” “Highway to Hell,” or “Thunderstruck” with exceptional sound quality.
