Vinyl Player Pro-Ject VT-E R OM5e Red

The Pro-Ject VT-E R vinyl player has retained the main feature of the basic version, working in an upright position, which makes it a unique offer in the Hi-Fi market. The device can be mounted on a table or shelf, using a special rear support, or simply hung on the wall (the corresponding brackets are also included). The normal operation of the device is achieved by a special adjustment of the anti-rolling force using a spring, so the sound quality of the VT-E does not differ from the usual "horizontal" models of this class.

The plate is fixed on the support disk with a screw clamp, which not only prevents it from falling, but also improves the damping of parasitic vibrations. The aluminum tonearm with a length of 8.6 inches is equipped with a standard shell, on which, if desired, another pickup can be installed (instead of the standard Ortofon OM5e cartridge). There are two speeds of rotation of the disk, which are switched by transferring the drive belt from one roller on the motor pulley to another.

The device has also retained an unusual triangular fiberboard chassis, which can be finished in black, red or white colors, and it is also possible to choose from two versions “R” (for the right hand) or “L” (for the left hand). Like the first model, the VT-E is delivered fully equipped and ready for use almost immediately after unpacking, but in this case the company's engineers went even further.

The VT-E is equipped with a built-in phonocorretor, which allows you to connect it to the linear analog input of any integrated amplifier or AV receiver.

An interesting feature of this model is that the output signal from it can be removed both from the line output (after the phono corrector) and directly from the pickup for feeding to an external preamplifier. Both of these outputs are made in the form of gold-plated RCA connectors, so you can connect the VT-E to the system using any cables (a high-quality connector is also included in the player package).
