Pro-Ject has unveiled the Pro-Ject Elvis Turntable, the latest addition to its exclusive Artist Collection. Marking 90 years since the birth of Elvis Aaron Presley, this limited-edition design celebrates the enduring legacy of the King of Rock ’n’ Roll.
Based on Pro-Ject’s T2 turntable, the Elvis edition is handmade in Europe and features a CNC-machined plinth with integrated, dimmable LED lighting that illuminates an‘ELVIS’ logo, creating a centrepiece fit for The King.
The Pro-Ject Elvis Turntable joins a select group of Artist Collection designs that each pay tribute to their inspiration in distinctive ways – from the nostalgic charm of the Charlie Brown-inspired Peanuts deck to the unforgettable submarine-shaped Beatles Yellow Submarine, and the bold styling of the Metallica model. Like its bandmates, the Elvis edition combines authentic hi-fi engineering with an eye-catching design that perfectly captures the character of its subject.
Beneath the new arrival’s glowing exterior lies a genuine audiophile turntable, complete with a precision 9in aluminium tonearm, adjustable spring-based anti-skating system and a factory-fitted Sumiko Rainier cartridge. A 10mm, 1.7kg glass platter ensures stable rotation and low resonance, while the electronically regulated motor allows easy switching between 33 and 45 RPM.
The Artist Collection celebrates the artists and creative works that have shaped music and culture. Each model is handmade in Europe, designed and built by Pro-Ject with the quality and care that lasting influence deserves.
“Our Artist Collection has always stood for more than just visual appeal; these are serious turntables designed for music lovers who also want something that reflects their musical passion,’ says Heinz Lichtenegger, CEO of Pro-Ject Audio Systems. ‘The Elvis edition continues that philosophy perfectly, combining authentic Pro-Ject performance with a design that celebrates one of music’s greatest icons.”
The Pro-Ject Elvis Turntable is available now, priced at £1,199 (UK SRP) / €1,399 (MSRP). Henley Audio exclusively distributes Pro-Ject in the UK.
