Project have always had one purpose since their establishment in 1991: bring HiFi Stereo music enjoyment to as many people as possible. With the A1 they added a completely new range to their portfolio: The AUTOMAT line. The technology allowed us to make automatic turntables without degrading the sound quality & make listening to vinyl easier than ever.

The automatic drive is still handmade in Germany by a traditional manufacture with a wealth of experience in making automatic turntables. The assembly is done in the Czech Republic by technicians with decade long experience. This technically reliable technology is what enables Project to bring the Pro-Ject sound and philosophy to an entirely new audience, and, with it, affordable and accessible high-quality HiFi to people’s homes.

Due to the big success of the A1 they want to go even further and updated the drive system and platter.

Alu Platter

Made in EU

The automatic drive is still handmade in Germany by a traditional manufacture and the assembly is done in the Czech Republic by technicians with decade long experience.

The A1.2 has a fully automatic start/stop with the automatics being completely disengaged and decoupled during the entire runtime of the record. The fully mechanical automatics are engaged when you press start and the tonearm is automatically moved to the lead in groove of the record. Once playing, the automatics are completely taken out of the equation and do not affect the playback quality.

ULM Aluminium Tonearm

The A1.2 features an 8.3” ultra-light-mass aluminium tonearm. Together with the Pick it MM E, which fits this design principle perfectly, we get extraordinary fast response and detail in terms of transients and microdynamics.

Tracking force and anti-skating are factory pre-adjusted which make the A1.2 plug & play ready within a few seconds. This makes it perfect for vinyl beginners and experienced listeners alike as the sound quality is carried by all the audiophile features the A1.2 has on offer.

Connect it E

Semi-balanced RCA cable - to guarantee a perfect connection to your amp Project use a high-quality phono RCA cable. Their Connect it E is a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable, with superior shielding.

Phono Preamp

Built-in switchable preamp - If you don't have a phono preamplifier in your current HiFi setup you will benefit of the A1.2s built-in one. If you want to use another phono preamp, you can easliy switch it off.
