PRO-JECT E1.2 BT COLOUR

Pro-Ject E1.2 BT Colour – Hi-Fi Turntable with Bluetooth 5.4 and Satin-Finished Chassis

The Pro-Ject E1.2 BT Colour is a belt-drive Hi-Fi turntable that combines the quality of analog playback with the convenience of wireless connectivity. Designed for music lovers who want to enjoy their vinyl records without sacrificing ease of use, it features a built-in Bluetooth 5.4 transmitter, a pre-installed factory-adjusted cartridge and a mechanical structure engineered to minimise unwanted resonances.

The BT Colour version stands out with its heavier, denser MDF chassis, finished with hand-applied satin paint. This construction helps improve mechanical stability and reduce vibrations, providing a more solid foundation for record playback. Its contemporary design and range of colourful finishes also make it an attractive addition to modern interiors and personalised Hi-Fi systems.

The Pro-Ject E1.2 BT Colour is suitable both for newcomers to vinyl and for enthusiasts looking for a practical, elegant and versatile system. Its Bluetooth transmitter sends audio to compatible wireless headphones, Bluetooth speakers and amplifiers, reducing the need for cables between the turntable and the listening system.

Bluetooth 5.4: Vinyl Meets Wireless Listening

The built-in Bluetooth 5.4 transmitter allows records to be played through compatible wireless devices. Support for SBC, aptX HD and aptX Adaptive codecs provides flexibility, allowing the connection to use a transmission mode supported by the receiving device.

Simply pair the turntable with Bluetooth headphones, wireless speakers or a compatible amplifier to enjoy your record collection without an audio cable between the components. Bluetooth connectivity is particularly convenient in living rooms, dedicated listening spaces and installations where a clean, uncluttered setup is preferred.

The E1.2 BT Colour operates as an audio transmitter: it sends music from the turntable to a compatible Bluetooth device but does not receive audio from smartphones, tablets or computers. During wireless playback, volume adjustment is handled by the receiving device.

Heavier MDF Chassis with Satin Finish

The chassis is one of the defining features of the Colour version. Unlike standard models with a laminated finish, the Pro-Ject E1.2 BT Colour uses a heavier, denser MDF structure finished with hand-applied satin paint.

The additional chassis mass is designed to reduce unwanted resonances and provide a more mechanically stable platform. This works together with the damping feet, aluminium platter and belt-drive system to support more controlled record tracking and clean, natural music reproduction.

730 g Die-Cast Aluminium Platter

The turntable uses a 730 g die-cast aluminium platter, damped and precision-balanced. Its mass helps maintain consistent rotation and provides a stable platform for records, helping control vibrations that could interfere with cartridge tracking.

The glass-fibre-reinforced ABS sub-platter completes the belt-drive system. The main bearing consists of a stainless-steel shaft housed in a bronze bushing, a design intended to promote smooth rotation and minimise mechanical noise.

The damped DC motor and electronic speed control make it easy to select 33 or 45 RPM. Electronic speed selection eliminates the need for manual belt adjustment when switching between standard LPs and 45 RPM records.

8.6-Inch Aluminium Tonearm

The Pro-Ject E1.2 BT Colour is equipped with an 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm, precision-manufactured and fitted with a gimbal bearing arrangement. Its construction is designed to provide controlled movement and stable tracking, helping the cartridge accurately retrieve musical information from the record groove.

The effective length of 218.5 mm, effective mass of 7 g and 22 mm overhang contribute to the system's tracking geometry. The tonearm is factory-adjusted, simplifying installation and making the turntable suitable even for users with limited experience in setting up analog audio systems.

Pre-Installed Pro-Ject Pick it MM E Cartridge

The turntable includes the Pro-Ject Pick it MM E cartridge, a moving-magnet design featuring a conical diamond stylus. The cartridge is pre-installed and factory-adjusted, so the turntable is ready to be set up without requiring complicated mounting and alignment procedures.

The playback system is designed to provide balanced, smooth and enjoyable listening, bringing out the character of analog recordings. The combination of cartridge, tonearm and platter offers a straightforward way to rediscover a music collection with a system suited to everyday listening.

Phono Preamplification and RCA Connectivity

Alongside Bluetooth transmission, the Pro-Ject E1.2 BT Colour can be integrated into a conventional audio system through its analog RCA connection. The integrated phono section allows the appropriate output mode to be selected for the system in use: Line output for a compatible line-level input, or Phono output for a phono input or external phono preamplifier.

This flexibility lets users choose between wireless and wired listening while retaining the freedom to use different amplifiers and components. For analog connections, it is important to select the correct output mode for the input of the connected equipment.

Colour Finishes: Design with Personality

The hand-painted satin finish distinguishes the Pro-Ject E1.2 BT Colour from models with standard laminated surfaces. The available colours make it possible to match the turntable to the surrounding decor and other components in the audio system.

• Black: elegant and understated, ideal for classic and contemporary Hi-Fi systems.
• White: bright and minimalist, perfect for modern interiors.
• Blue: a distinctive option for those seeking an original-looking turntable.
• Green: a refined, contemporary finish for a more personalised setup.
• Yellow: a vibrant choice that highlights the turntable's design.

Finish availability may vary according to the selected version and commercial availability.
