Pro-Ject E1.2 BT – Plug and Play Turntable with aptX HD Bluetooth

The Pro-Ject E1.2 BT takes the easy, plug-and-play formula of the E1.2 family and adds a built-in Bluetooth 5.4 transmitter with aptX HD and aptX Adaptive, so your records can play through wireless speakers, headphones or a compatible amplifier without a single cable across the room. Tracking force and anti-skating come factory-adjusted, the Pick it MM E cartridge is pre-mounted, and electronic speed change moves between 33 1/3 and 45 RPM with one button.

Key Features

• Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX HD and aptX Adaptive: a Qualcomm transmitter module streams your vinyl wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers, headphones or compatible amplifiers
• Dedicated pairing button: connect a new device straight from the front of the deck, without power-cycling the turntable
• Pick it MM E cartridge pre-mounted: conical diamond stylus with a low-mass neodymium generator delivers warm, smooth audio with low background noise
• Factory-adjusted setup: tracking force and anti-skating are preset, so the deck is ready to play out of the box
• 730 g precision-balanced platter: damped die-cast aluminium forms an anti-resonant platform for even, stable rotation
• 8.6 inch aluminium tonearm: heavy-mass gimbal bearing with zero play and a carbon-reinforced headshell for accurate tracking
• Gold-plated RCA output: the phono-level output feeds any amplifier with a phono input or a separate phono stage, so the deck fits a traditional system as easily as a wireless one

Customer Benefits

The E1.2 BT removes the usual barriers between a record collection and actually listening to it. There is no cartridge alignment and no belt fiddling: the pre-adjusted tonearm and the built-in wireless transmitter mean you can pair the deck with active speakers or Bluetooth headphones and play within minutes. The precision-balanced 730 g platter and rigid gimbal tonearm keep the sound stable and detailed, while the acrylic dust cover keeps the deck looking clean between sessions.
