Pro-Ject has introduced its upgraded Juke Box E1 belt-drive turntable which builds on the original Juke Box E by adding a new tonearm, sub-platter drive system and more convenient switching between 33 and 45rpm. A plug-and-play turntable setup, the E1 boasts a top-mounted high-contrast display, built-in Bluetooth and additional line-level input. With a 50W per-channel Class D built-in amplifier, it can also come as part of a SET with matching Speaker Box 5 speakers and accessories.

The company explains: “From the CNC-machined wood chassis, through the aluminium tonearm and on to the reputable Ortofon OM 5E cartridge, every part of the design is intended to deliver high-quality sound… Simply attach the Juke Box E1’s drive belt to the DC motor and sub-platter, install the anti-resonant ABS polymer main platter, plug in the power cable and your work is done.”

The tonearm comes pre-set and balanced, and operation is simple, thanks to information including volume and input shown on the display. There’s a supplied remote control to help with switching inputs and adjusting volume, as well as accessing more sophisticated controls including Bass and Treble adjustment alongside a Loudness boost.

The E1 comes in Black, White, Red and Walnut finishes with a removable dust cover, while solid-core speaker cable and isolation feet for the speakers are bundled. It measures 415 x 118 x 334 (WxHxD) and weighs 5kg..
