Thunderstruck by the Pro-Ject AC/DC turntable
After the Dark Side of the Moon turntable in tribute to Pink Floyd, the Metallica Edition and The Beatles Yellow Submarine models, the manufacturer is now tackling another musical legend: AC/DC. This Pro-Ject turntable is also a true collector’s item. With its rock’n’roll aesthetic and red LED lighting, it highlights the details of its high-end construction. The heavy glass platter, designed to avoid unwanted resonance, lets you see the internal components while guaranteeing optimum playback stability.
High-end technical specs
This turntable doesn’t just reproduce the AC/DC logo, it also ensures state-of-the-art sound quality. To achieve this, it features:
- A belt drive with electronic speed change (33 and 45 rpm).
- 10mm glass platter for stable, precise rotation (felt mat included).
- An 8.6″ acrylic tonearm with spring anti-skating system for optimal groove reading.
- A pre-tuned Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, renowned for its warm, precise sound reproduction.
- Adjustable spiked feet for effective vibration isolation.
Pro-Ject has also equipped this turntable with gold-plated RCA sockets, guaranteeing lossless signal transmission. The included Connect It Phono E cable uses a high-quality copper conductor and a semi-symmetrical design to limit interference.
Whether you’re listening to the rock standards “Back in Black”, “Highway to Hell” or “Thunderstruck”, this turntable promises to reproduce all the energy and power of the AC/DC sound with remarkable precision. It boasts a signal-to-noise ratio of 68 dB and optimized power consumption (just 4W in operation). The turntable has a width of 495mm, a height of 135mm and a depth of 405mm, for a total weight of 6kg.
