Spearhead to enter the world of vinyl.
Founded in 1991 by Heinz Lichtenegger in Austria, Pro-Ject was born with the mission of offering high-quality turntables at affordable prices, right in the middle of the CD era.
Today, design remains centralized in Austria, while production takes place in advanced facilities in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Slovakia, where every turntable is hand-assembled under strict quality controls.
From its iconic Debut series, which revived interest in vinyl during the 1990s, to modern lines such as the E Line, RPM, Primary, Vertical, and the all-in-one Juke Box systems, Pro-Ject has maintained a perfect balance of minimalist design, technical innovation, and long-term reliability.
The Debut series, introduced in 1999, played a key role in reigniting passion for vinyl by offering audiophile-level turntables at affordable costs, making them a reference point for both beginners and enthusiasts.
While all designs are conceived in Austria, the production of turntables, electronics, and accessories takes place mainly in Europe — in plants located in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Germany, close to the R&D center, ensuring craftsmanship and consistency.
Debut EVO 2: features a one-piece carbon tonearm, advanced suspension, and adaptive anti-skate — the latest upgrade to the popular Debut line.
Debut PRO B: stands out with its True Balanced mini-XLR connection and specialized cartridge, ideal for pure, noise-free audio.
Juke Box E and E1: all-in-one systems with turntable, phono stage, amplifier, Bluetooth input, and more. The E1 is especially versatile and praised in reviews such as TechRadar.
The Juke Box E1 has been highlighted as the best record player to start with: just add speakers. It includes amplification, phono stage, and Bluetooth in one compact unit.
Another excellent alternative is the Primary E, recognized by Tom’s Guide as one of the best entry-level options for its simplicity and solid performance.
