Vinyl Player Pro-Ject Essential III Phono OM10 Walnut

The Pro-Ject Essential III Phono OM10 vinyl player, like the rest of the models in this series, is made on an MDF chassis. The chassis is supported by damped supports, which provide good protection against external vibrations. The support disc is also made of MDF and is carefully balanced to eliminate beats and associated sound distortion. One of the improvements made in the models of the Essential III series is a new scheme for stabilizing the speed of rotation of the engine, as well as the spindle, which is now made of aluminum with high precision. The latter solution made it possible to make the transmission of rotation to the reference disk more accurate and smooth. The spindle has grooves of two radii, and by rearranging the drive from one to the other, you can change the speed of rotation of the disk (33 or 45 revolutions per minute). The bearing of the support disc has a stainless steel spindle. In general, the design of the player is distinguished by its quality and attention to the little things that affect the sound quality.

The tonearm of the Pro-Ject Essential III Phono is aluminum, with internal damping and integrated shell. It relies on precision bearings and has an anti-skating setting. The Ortofon OM10 pickup is already installed on the tonearm, which greatly simplifies the setup of the player for novice users. A distinctive feature of the Pro-Ject Essential III Phono is the presence of a built-in phono corrector for MM pickups. A pair of RCA connectors on the back of the player can be signaled both directly from the pickup and from the phono corrector output, which simplifies the connection of the Pro-Ject Essential III Phono to amplifiers or AV receivers that do not have an appropriate built-in circuit.

The player is equipped with a high-quality branded Connect iT E phono cable, as well as a transparent acrylic dust cover. The device has a high-quality sound and is recommended as a first purchase for all music lovers interested in vinyl.
