Delivered with magnetic pick-up OMB 10. | The vibration-damped solid wood chassis eliminates all unwanted influences. Therefore a clear scanning through the high-class tonearm is ensured. It has a quadruple ball bearing and it has a stageless height adjustment. Therefore a huge number of high-quality cartridges can be used.
For the platter bearing a special brass composition was chosen, in which the 10mm axle runs smoothly. This ensures a quiet running. As usual, the triple damped sandwich platter is driven by a precision flat belt, which runs selectively with 33 1/3, 45 or 78 r/min.
Tonearm technology
This record player is equipped with a newly developed tonearm, unique to this player. The height-adjustable arm has a quadruple ball bearing Cardan joint and a particularly torsionally rigid tone arm head made of carbon fibre.
Chassis technology
The aluminium sandwich platter is weighted with copper damping rings and a cast damping mass is also located within the interior. This ensures both good synchronisation and extremely low resonance of the platter. The brass platter bearing is characterised by very high running smoothness. A Teflon bearing mirror makes the bearings extremely durable.
Drive technology
The platter is driven via a precision flat belt and a DC motor with electronic speed control. In addition to the standard 33 1/3 and 45 rpm speeds, archive records can be played at 78 rpm. Delivery does not include cartridge.

The Coolest-Looking Turntable You'll Ever Own Is Also a High-End Playback Device: Limited to 1,000 Units in US, Pro-Ject Essential III Sgt. Pepper's Drum Features Stunning Beatles Graphics
Let your analog listening experience continue getting better all the time with the Pro-Ject Essential III Sgt. Pepper's Drum turntable – at once an irresistible salute to the Beatles and entry-level, high-end vinyl playback device. Based on the audio manufacturer's Essential III model, and limited to 1,000 units in the US, Essential III Sgt. Pepper's Drum immediately stands out in any crowd and will likely be the coolest-looking ‘table you (or anyone) ever own. Appointed with a graphically rich blue chassis and a remarkably sharp, colorfully accurate reproduction of the Sgt. Pepper logo showcased in the bass drum of the original album cover, Essential III Sgt. Pepper's Drum simply begs you to spin LPs. Better still, you can see the world-famous logo through the matte acrylic platter. The inclusion of the Beatles' script logo in the chassis' bottom left corner tops off the striking visual component.
It would be one thing if Essential III Sgt. Pepper's Drum only offered its unique Beatles-styled appearance. But this ‘table also touts audiophile sound quality for which Pro-Ject is renowned. Equipped with a pre-installed and factory-aligned Ortofon OM10 cartridge, diamond-cut aluminum pulley, upgraded motor control, enhanced bearing with stainless-steel spindle, resonance-damping decoupling feet, and a sturdy MDF chassis, Essential III Sgt. Pepper's Drum tracks and plays back LPs with absorbing precision and nuance-extracting detail. Its integrated DC-powered motor control minimizes vibration and affords excellent speed stability. You also get a Connect-It E, a phono cable with gold-plated connectors that far outperforms the signal-transmission quality of stock RCA versions. And because of the so-simple-anyone-can-do-it setup, you'll be enjoying music minutes after you unbox Essential III Sgt. Pepper's Drum. Well, maybe not – you might find yourself staring at its eye-popping looks for quite a while. It's that impressive.
So, sit back and let the evening go. You'll want to enjoy more than a day in the life with Essential III Sgt. Pepper's Drum.
