What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Pro-Ject The Classic

New model Pro-Ject turntables "The Classic" offers vintage look, wood chassis and innovative high-end technology 

This turntable makes use of traditional frame design which was established by the famous turntable manufacturers of the 50's and 60's. It uses a compact simple and elegant form factor. The Classic incorporates a combination of approved belt drive design using a low noise AC motor with an ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability. Advanced technology is used for decoupling and the completely new designed tonearm. 

 Features:
• Belt drive with manual speed control 33/45 rpm 
• Height adjustable decoupling feet 
• Precision balanced TPE-damped aluminium-platter / felt mat 
• Metal/MDF sandwich chassis floating on TPE suspension 
• 9” carbon/aluminium tonearm with MM & MC capability 
• Japanese ball bearing (base of tonearm) 
• Integrated central vertical cable outlet for unhindered arm movement 
• Ultra low friction Zircon pin-point cardan bearings (top & side) 
• Azimuth and VTA fully adjustable 
• TPE damped counterweight 
• Optionally available with 2M Silver phono cartridge 
• Classic wooden chassis in 3 matt finishes  (walnut, rosenut, eucalyptus) 


PLATTER & SUB-PLATTER
The heavy aluminium main platter construction utilises advanced TPE for optimising resonance behaviour. A drawback for most of the old designs was the platter. Casted platters all have been heavy (which is good for speed constancy and low wow and flutter) but suffered very much from ringing effects which again caused colouration of the sound. The platter of "The Classic" is precisely machined out of a special aluminium alloy again damped with TPE, which offers special damping abilities.
The subplatter / main bearing construction we use is similar system as on the "Debut". It is made of hardened steel/ Bronze bushing/ Teflon bearing mirror, which re-sults in very smooth low noise running smoothness of the bearing
The main difference to the "Debut" bearing are the tolerances which are by factor 10 lower and therefore more precise (0,005%). Especially the subplatter is a very sophisticated part which is accurately machined and guarantees a very good isolation between bearing noise and the platter itself.

CHASSIS & SUBCHASSIS:  Thanks to the modern damping materials TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomers) we are able to design a very effective, subchassis construction. Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth
THE FEET:  As we did not want to risk that the customer always needs perfect audiophile turntable supports, we decided to use damping feet which are a very good compromise to suit most of customer environments. For sure these feet are height adjustable

NEW CARBON/ALUMINIUM TONEARM:
The radical new designed Classic Tonearm is the result of 25 years of experience in me-chanical construction.
The tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of Carbon and Aluminium: Carbon for stiff-ness and speed, Alu for better damping.
The Cardan bearing assembly with pin-point Zircon bearing provides ultra low friction.
A new expensive Japanese base-ball-bearing allows a better lead of the tonearm wire and increases the free movement of the arm.
The counterweight incorporates a TPE* damp-er which allows us to reduce the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%.
As typical for Pro-Ject and absolutely not standard at that price range we offer also azimuth and VTA adjustment to use a variety of cartridges. Different counterweight for cartridges up to 25 grams are available as an option.
We supply as standard the Ortofon 2M Silver moving magnet cartridge. This Ortofon cartridge is exclusively designed for Pro-Ject Audio Systems. We improved the sound and dynamics of the recognised 2M series, by implement-ing pure silver coils instead of standard copper. However, as the tonearm offers excellent damping and flexibility as well, its effective mass can be called middle heavy, so it is also a very good partner for MC cartridges
