Pro-Ject Primary E - Hard Rock Cafe

Manual Plug & Play turntable with mounted MM pickup Ortofon OM 5E. Special model based on the Pro-Ject Primary.

The artwork on the chassis is executed in the style of the Hard Rock Cafe.

The clever design of the tonearm allowed the manufacturer to combine full sound quality with even easier installation. The plug&play design with pre-set pressure and antiskating has saved costs and is easier to use for the user without sacrificing sound quality. On the contrary: the ultra-light and low-friction aluminum tonearm is optimized for the Ortofon cartridge and unfolds its purest potential.

With an intelligent design and no unnecessary features, Pro-Ject was able to keep the price attractive despite European handiwork. The Primary E offers maximum sound quality at a fair price.
