“The Pro-Ject is more refined and tonally realistic”

UK, 03.2025

• Everything feels unforced, but never languid and it ensures that the Pro-Ject can handle a wide spread of material in a very even-handed way. The T1 EVOs demonstrate a further evolution of the ‘sub-Debut’ models into a flexible and capable range, and the results are very impressive indeed.

“Lovely industrial design and excellent hassle free performance”

UK, 03.2025

• There is a more than reasonable sense of scale and weight to the performance. The T1 Evo does enough to have you stop concentrating on the medium and immerse yourself in the music. What the T1 does brilliantly is come out of the box with a lack of drama

Built-in Phono Stage & Electronic Speed Switch – Made in Europe

The stylish CNC-machined plinth of the T1 Evo features no plastic parts and is carefully manufactured to ensure there are no hollow spaces inside, therefore avoiding unwanted vibrations within the chassis. Carrying this philosophy through the design, the glass platter is also a heavy, zero-resonance design. Finally, the purpose-chosen turntable feet also do a good job of isolating the T1 Evo from ambient vibrations around your hi-fi system. In the T1 Evo the motor drives a belt-system, attached to a newly designed sub-platter, which is mounted into an ultra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing. The tonearm new tonearm has an effective length of 8.6”. This one-piece aluminium tonearm also features low-friction bearings for absolute accuracy in use. The T1 Evo comes with a pre-adjusted Ortofon OM 5E Moving Magnet cartridge and is ready to use right out of the box. Also super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance Pro-Ject phono cables are included.

Compared to the base T1 Evo model, the Phono version includes a built-in, Pro-Ject designed, high-quality phono MM stage and an electronic speed switch between 33 and 45 RPM. For the drive system, where most alternative products may use unregulated DC motors with wide speed fluctuations, the T1 Evo Phono features our proven system of an electronically regulated, precision-speed AC motor.

The History

Pro-Ject was founded in 1991, during the onslaught of the compact disc and CD players, with the mission to offer the best analogue experience for reasonable prices. In a time where the digital audio media had been on the rise, and vinyl was declared as outdated and dead, Heinz Lichtenegger kept his belief in the simple but best way to enjoy music – turntables.

Here at Pro-Ject we strive to create astonishing products with impeccable value. We only use the best components for the price and manufacture our handmade goods solely in Europe. With an eye for future trends we are always trying to fit the needs of the market.
