Pro-Ject E1 BT Turntable, Walnut with AT3600L Cartridge Overview
The Pro-Ject E1 BT Turntable is an upper-entry-level model, handcrafted using premium components and anti-resonance materials for flawless vinyl playback. It differs from other models in the E1 range by offering wireless audio via Bluetooth 5.0. Yet, like the E1 Phono model, it has a built-in switchable MM phono stage enabling connection to a line-level input. Like both the E1 phono and standard E1, an electronic speed control switch facilitates an effortless transition between 33 and 45 RPM.
A sub-platter drive system keeps the internals of your system safe and provides a clean minimalist aesthetic. Moreover, the included cover protects your records from dust, splashes, and spills. The lightweight tonearm - which comes attached - is fitted with an Audio Technica AT3600 cartridge that is factory-set for downforce and anti-skate settings. All of this means you can get set up for great sound straight out of the box.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe E Line
The Pro-Ject E1 BT is part of the E Line range alongside the E1 Standard and E1 Phono turntable models. Out of the three E1 models, the E1 BT offers the most advanced features; these include a built-in moving magnet phono stage and Bluetooth for the wireless transmission of music signals as well as via line level or phono output. As with both the E1 standard and E1 phono, the E1 BT comes in three finishes: glossy black, glossy white, and walnut. Each plinth is CNC-machined from composite fibres for accuracy and noiselessness respectively.
Wireless and Versatile
For beginners and vinyl enthusiasts alike, if you’re looking for great playback quality and convenient connectivity options on a moderate budget, the E1 range has you covered. The E1 BT features Bluetooth and an integrated phono preamplifier, ideal if you don’t already have a phono preamp or want to cut down on additional purchases. Bluetooth will let you wirelessly transmit the vinyl signal to nearby Bluetooth speakers, headphones or amplifiers for greater versatility. For those adhering to a mid-level budget and seeking a turntable with superior sound and Bluetooth features, the E1 BT stands out as the perfect option.
Ready to Plug and Play
Upon opening your E1 BT package, you’ll find your new turntable already partially assembled. An 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm, designed to be lightweight with low friction, is pre-attached to the plinth. At the end of the tonearm, an Audio Technica AT3600 cartridge has been pre-adjusted for optimal tracking force and skating by vinyl experts at Pro-Ject, diligently handmaking their turntables in Europe. You’ll also find various accessories to help finish off the assembly of your turntable, details of which are listed in the below sections, as well as in the product manual and setup guide linked above.
Further Features
In addition to the Bluetooth, phono stage, and pre-adjusted cartridge, the E1 BT makes life easier with an electronic speed switch on the side of the plinth. This means that once you dive in, you can make speed adjustments in an instant. Jump between three different speeds hassle-free (33 RPM, 45 RPM, and On/Off). Pro-Ject, with a focus on budget-friendly turntables, have made no compromise on the quality of materials used in each component to ensure the best possible sound experience at this price point. As well as an anti-resonance composite fibre plinth, the turntable’s platter is made from ABS polymer, strengthened with ridges for resistance to impact and further anti-resonance properties.
