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. Whether you get one – or a few – to simply show off as pieces of art or to employ as playback devices, this is one turntable you'll never forget. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed.
| Whether you’re just getting into records, rediscovering a record collection long since buried away or simply adding a turntable to complete your system, the AT-LP60X fully automatic belt-drive turntable is an excellent choice. This affordable, easy-to-use turntable plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and, with its built-in switchable phono preamp, can be connected directly to your home stereo, powered speakers, computer and other components, whether they have a dedicated phono input or not.
An update of the popular AT-LP60, the ATLP60X features a redesigned tonearm base and headshell to improve tracking and reduce resonance. Noise is further reduced by the inclusion of an AC adapter that moves the AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis where its impact on the signal chain is limited.
Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the AT-LP60X’s Dual Magnet™ cartridge with replaceable stylus. The cartridge is integrated into the headshell for assured performance and ease of setup.
The turntable comes with a detachable RCA output cable (3.5 mm male to dual RCA male), 45 RPM adapter, and a removable hinged dust cover. It is available in black (AT-LP60X-BK), brown/black (AT-LP60X-BW), gunmetal/black (AT-LP60X-GM), and red/black (AT-LP60X-RD).
