• Project Automat A2 - fully automatic turntable - black - Pro-Ject

The Project A2 turntable is the embodiment of audiophile precision and quality craftsmanship. This turntable has been designed to offer music lovers an unparalleled listening experience and to experience the magic of vinyl records in their purest form. With its premium design and high-quality components, the Project A2 turntable is an outstanding choice for discerning hi-fi enthusiasts.

High-quality construction and materials
The Project A2 record player impresses with its robust construction and high-quality materials. The housing is made of low-resonance MDF wood, which minimizes unwanted vibrations and thus ensures clear and precise sound reproduction. The surface of the turntable is finished with an elegant high-gloss lacquer, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also guarantees a long service life.

MDF main chassis & sub-chassis
The Pro-Ject A2's brand new, heavy MDF main chassis is manufactured in Austria and carefully hand-lacquered in a luxurious eight-layer matt black finish. It forms an extremely stable base for the sub-chassis and reduces cavities to prevent unwanted resonance. The A2 uses a sub-chassis construction where the tonearm, platter bearing and motor are mounted on a separate floating sub-chassis. This further isolates and protects the critical elements of the turntable, helping you to experience every nuance of your music with the utmost clarity.

Latest High Tech Automatic
The Pro-Ject A2 builds on the success of Pro-Ject's fully mechanical automatic turntables and brings with it some exciting new features. The most groundbreaking innovation on the A2 is the ability to select the starting point for 7-inch (singles) or 12-inch (LPs) records at 45 RPM. In addition, we have extended the system to 78 RPM so that you can also immerse yourself in the world of old shellac collections. As is typical for Pro-Ject, the motor is electronically controlled.
Simply press "Start" and the tonearm automatically moves into the record's initial groove. During playback, the automatic system is completely disengaged! And since the automatic system works completely mechanically - without any additional electronics - the playback process remains unaffected and pure.

The Pro-Ject A2 is not only a technological masterpiece, but also an aesthetic highlight. With its elegant design and handcrafted finish, it will be an eye-catcher in any room. Immerse yourself in the world of analog sound and experience your vinyl collection in a whole new way with the Pro-Ject A2 record player. A must-have for audiophiles and music lovers who appreciate the highest quality and precision.

Precise speed control
An outstanding feature of the Project A2 turntable is its precise speed control. The high-quality DC motor ensures precise speed stability at 33 1/3 and 45 rpm, resulting in accurate reproduction of the music. Electronic switching between the two speeds is seamless, allowing you to enjoy your entire record collection without compromise.

Tonearm and cartridge
The Project A2 turntable is equipped with a high-quality 8.6-inch tonearm specially designed for precise tracking capabilities. This tonearm enables excellent tracking of the grooves of your records and minimizes distortion. In addition, the turntable is equipped with an Ortofon MM cartridge, which is known for its excellent sound quality and high level of detail. The cartridge is factory fitted and adjusted to ensure that you can enjoy an optimum sound experience straight away.

Massless tracking force adjustment
The A2 uses a new tracking force adjustment system. The tracking force is adjusted by turning a scale directly on the tonearm bearing. This system is not only very fast, precise and efficient, but also ensures that the tonearm's center of gravity is directly above the bearing center. The spring-based anti-skating can also be adjusted directly on the tonearm base.

Outstanding sound quality
The Project A2 turntable offers outstanding sound quality that brings the subtleties and nuances of your vinyl collection to life. Thanks to its precise speed control, high-quality tonearm and premium cartridge, this turntable offers a warm and detailed sound that will make audiophiles' hearts beat faster. Whether jazz, classical, rock or pop - the Project A2 gives your music the stage it deserves.
