To celebrate what would have been Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday, Pro-ject is releasing a special edition turntable based on their popular T2 model. It’s made for people who love great sound and classic style, and it is handmade in Europe with great attention to detail.
The elegantly crafted CNC-machined plinth illuminates with LEDs the beautiful Elvis logo. The heavy 1,7 kg glass platter ensures a zero resonance design that effectively eliminates the shortcomings associated with plastic or lightweight steel alternatives. Complementing these improvements, purpose-selected turntable feet effectively isolate the turntable from ambient vibrations present in the vicinity of your hi-fi system.

Sumiko Rainier
This cartridge skillfully places instruments & vocals right where they belong - hand-crafted in Japan! Pre-adjusted high quality Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge. True hi-fi playback MM cartridge with elliptical diamond stylus tip.
Quality Motor
Pro-Ject's precision AC motor ensures flawless vinyl playback with ultra-stable rotation and reduced vibration. Where most alternative products may use unregulated DC motors with wide speed fluctuations, the T2 features Pro-Ject's proven system of an electronically regulated, precision-speed AC motor.
Clean Power
The power generator creates a completely clean new sine wave for the motor. This guarantees very clean power which results in enhanced speed stability. DC/AC power generator ensures highest speed stability.
Belt Drive
The motor drives a belt system, connected to Pro-Ject's special ABS glass fiber composite sub-platter. The belt decouples the motor from the big sub platter. This prevents motor vibrations to travel to the needle.
This sub-platter is mounted on an ultra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing.
33 / 45 RPM
The T2 also comes with electronic speed switching between 33 and 45 RPM. The rocker switch allows you to change speeds with the push of only a single button. The result is a low-noise, stable drive system for the turntable.
The Tonearm
The Elvis Turntable features a straight 9” one-piece aluminium tonearm combined with a low-friction bearing for absolute accuracy in use.
Besides the clean and stylish looks, the integrated headshell won‘t cause any additional vibrations either, and is a big improvement over other detachable, screwed-on or glued-on headshells!
It also comes with Pro-Ject's adjustable spring-based anti-skating mechanism that optimizes performance and extracts the utmost potential from your cartridge.
Premium Connection
The gold plated RCA sockets will always provide the best connection. The included high Connect it Phono E RCA uses quality core materials like a copper conductor for a signal transmission without losses. This cable is a semi-symmetrical type, which means that the shielding is only connected on one end. Therefore, the yellow marked side should always be connected to the receiving end.
