A quiet-running synchronous motor with silicone belt is driving a low-resonance platter made from MDF. A new motor control with DC power supply minimzes unwanted vibration effectively. The main platter bearing consists of stainless steelspindle and bronze bushing with Teflon bottom to seccure low friction.  

The main chassis is made from lightweight, but very stiff particle board. Essential II utilises a straight 8,6" aluminium tonearm design made from a single piece of aluminium with sapphire bearings, which offers a far better „plug & play" solution, than itʽs predecessor. Special feet effectively decouples the turntable from the surface.

Specifications:

  • speed : 33, 45 (manual speed change)

  • principle : belt drive

  • Speed variance : 33: 0,14% 45: 0,25%

  • Wow & flutter : 0,12%

  • main bearing : stainless steel

  • tonearm : 8,6” aluminium

  • effective : arm length 218,5 mm

  • overhang : 22,0mm

  • effective tonearmmass : 8,0gr

  • counterweight for mass : 3 - 5,5g (included)

  • tracking force range : 0 - 25mn (OM5 18mn recommended)

  • included accessory : power supply, dust cover

  • Power consumption : 4,5 watts

  • dimensions : 420 x 112 x 330mm (WxHxD)

Pro-Ject has decided to go after the cheap plastic turntable market with an high quality alternative that comes complete with an Ortofon cartridge. The new Elemental table is a real "plug'n'play" all the way. No adjustment of counterweight and antiskating is needed, because both are pre-adjusted. This new straight ultra low mass tonearm is optimised for Ortofon OM cartridge series. All the buyer needs to do is remove it from the box, remove bearing guard, locate the belt around the platter, remove stylus guard and plug it in. The only plastic here is the stylus guard. The hidden secret to the new table'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.
