LAB REVIEW

Pro-Ject’s Elemental Turntable offers great sound and unique looks without breaking the bank. Equipped with an Ortofon OM5E cartridge on a straight, low mass tonearm (optimized for Ortofon OM carts) and pre-adjusted counterweight and anti-skate, the Elemental is truly a plug-and-play unit. Simply fit the belt around the platter, remove the stylus guard, and connect to your system or preamp – it’s that simple! In addition, the low resonance MDF platter is upgradeable to acrylic and the RCA contacts and cartridge pins are gold-plated. Plays at both 33 and 45 with manual belt change.

“The hidden secret to the Elemental’s sonic success, is a central gravity mass point, made from artificial stone and placed directly underneath the platter bearing. It is capable to fully absorb unwanted rumble and motor vibration. This turntable appears to be pure simplicity itself, while maintaining high quality audio standards.” – Pro-Ject
