E1.2: A turntable for everyone
The E1.2 from Pro-Ject Audio Systems is the next generation E-Line turntable, aiming to deliver a great sound experience on a limited budget, hand-made in Europe.
With its choice of three output versions, including a Bluetooth option, it’s an ideal entry point into vinyl playback that suits you regardless of your existing audio equipment.
Updated and Improved
The E1.2 features an updated platter design from that of the ABS polymer version of the original E1, this new 730g die-cast aluminium main platter design creates an ideal, anti-resonant platform for your vinyl, that guarantees perfect playback thanks to a reworking and precision-balancing extra step in production, to obtain an evenly spinning platter. This significant upgrade not only improves rotational stability but also enhances the overall acoustic performance by minimising unwanted vibrations and resonance. The additional mass of the aluminium helps maintain consistent speed and provides a more solid foundation for the vinyl, allowing the stylus to track with greater accuracy.
The Pick Up
The phono cartridge is one of the most sonically critical parts of a turntable as it translates the physical grooves of a record into an electrical signal. The Pick it MM E uses a low mass system by employing a miniature neodymium generator magnet. Due to the lower inertia, the result is a clear improvement of tracking accuracy, while the conical diamond tip delivers a warm and smooth high-quality audio reproduction with low background noise. The highly damped ABS body effectively reduces vibration-induced colourations to a almost imperceptible levels.
Precision tonearm
The tonearm of the E1.2 is crafted to deliver exceptional performance right out of the box, expertly adjusted at the factory, so you‘re ready to play right away. No tools, no guesswork – plug in and press play. At its core is a heavy mass gimbal design, offering solid tracking and great sound stability. The precision bearing system with zero play means smooth movement and clean sound. Pro-Ject have added a carbon-reinforced, super-stiff headshell to reduce vibrations, and the oversized diameter counterweight is placed closer to the moving parts, improving balance and tracking for better detail and bass response.
Precision Craftsmanship
CNC-machined from a rigid composite fibre, the chassis is carefully engineered with no hollow spaces inside. This solid, resonance-resistant construction helps eliminate unwanted vibrations, allowing your music to come through with clarity and energy. Available in high-gloss black, satin white, or walnut finish, the plinth doesn’t just sound good, it also looks stunning in any setup. Its clean lines and premium surfaces reflect the quality typically found in higher-end models, making it a beautiful centrepiece for your living room.

Pro-Ject was founded in 1991, during the onslaught of the compact disc and CD players, with the mission to offer the best analogue experience for reasonable prices. In a time where the digital audio media had been on the rise, and vinyl was declared as outdated and dead, Heinz Lichtenegger kept his belief in the simple but best way to enjoy music – turntables.
Pro-Ject’s aim is to get as many people as possible into the wonderful hobby that is HiFi audio and to deliver a real stereo experience for the lowest cost possible. The best way to start there is with a proper turntable. They want to give music lovers the right to choose what they need by not overblowing their products with unnecessary features. They strive to create astonishing products that offer impeccable value by using the best components for the price and manufacturing their handmade goods in Europe.

Founded by David McCaffrey, Revelation Audio brings together over 20 years of deep experience in the audio-visual industry. David has worked with some of the world’s most respected brands — including Arcam, Tannoy, Panasonic, Sony, and JBL — giving him unparalleled insight into what truly delivers outstanding sound quality.
After two decades helping shape the industry, David opened Revelation Audio to focus on what matters most: carefully curated, high-performance audio solutions tailored to real people and real listening spaces. We specialise in both analogue and digital sources, state-of-the-art amplifiers, and loudspeakers that reveal every nuance of your music.
My passion for music runs deep and has been the driving force behind everything I do at Revelation Audio. For me, music isn’t just background noise — it’s emotion, storytelling, energy, and escape all at once. I love how a perfectly reproduced track can transport you, make your heart race, or bring tears to your eyes. Some of my favourite artists right now include Karsh Kale for his groundbreaking fusion of Indian classical with electronic grooves, Etherwood for those soulful, atmospheric drum & bass journeys, and Tom Misch for his effortless blend of jazz, soul, and groove. But my tastes are truly eclectic — one minute I’m deep into jazz fusion or classic rock, the next I’m exploring ambient electronica, vintage soul, progressive metal, or world music from every corner of the globe. That wide-ranging love is exactly why I’m so committed to systems that can handle anything you throw at them with honesty, detail, and musicality.
