The Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono Turntable sensibly enhances the critically acclaimed T1 formula, introducing many new audiophile features, setting new standards in its new price-range.
Highest Quality Materials
The elegantly crafted CNC-machined plinth has been expanded in size to enhance stability and is available in High Gloss Black, Satin White, or Walnut.
It boasts a construction free of plastic components and meticulous manufacturing that eliminates any hollow spaces within, effectively preventing unwanted vibrations within the chassis.
Furthermore, the glass platter in the T2 has been made heavier and thicker compared to its predecessor, ensuring 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 T2 from ambient vibrations present in the vicinity of your hi-fi system.
Completely New Built-in Phono Stage
The T2 Super Phono has a high-quality dual stage split-passive MM phono preamp – as first seen in the T2 W. The phono stage can be turned off should you ever want to use MC cartridges on your T2 Super Phono. Supplied with a high-value Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge, this is a true hi-fi playback system with no corners cut.
Speed Control, Motor and Drive
The motor and drive system in the T2 remain identical to those found in the T1. The motor drives a belt system, connected to a newly designed sub-platter exclusive to the T-line. This sub-platter is mounted on an ultra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing.
Where most alternative products may use un-regulated DC motors with wide speed fluctuations, the T2 features Pro-Ject's proven system of an electronically regulated, precision-speed AC motor. The T2 also comes with electronic speed switching between 33 and 45 RPM. The result is a low-noise, stable drive system for the turntable.
New Tonearm & Anti-Skating
The tonearm on the T2 has been improved with a longer arm tube. With its straight, 9” effective length and stiff aluminium construction, this one-piece tonearm also features new updated low-friction bearings to accommodate the increased length and diameter 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. The T2 also comes brand new with an adjustable spring-based anti-skating mechanism that optimises performance and extracts the utmost potential from your cartridge.
Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge
The T2 comes preadjusted with a high-value Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge featuring an elliptical diamond stylus tip; this is a true hi-fi playback system with no corners cut.
Semi-balanced phono cable
Like the T1, the T2 is then finished with super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance phono cables, purpose-designed by Pro-Ject – not off-the shelf RCA cables.
There is also a dust cover for extra protection and a felt mat to protect your records.
