Pro-ject has launched another turntable adorned with the album cover of a well-known rock group. This time, it’s the turn of the German rock band The Scorpions. The Scorpions turntable is based on the Austrian manufacturer’s existing T2 model.
The Scorpions Special Edition turntable pays tribute to one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Designed for audiophiles, collectors, and dedicated fans, this limited edition combines high-quality engineering with an exclusive Scorpions design, resulting in uncompromising sound quality and an unmistakable visual impact.
This special edition is based on the T2 turntable platform, a belt-drive design, advanced mechanical construction, and precise performance. From powerful guitar riffs to subtle acoustic passages, the Scorpions turntable reproduces music with depth, power, and detail, according to its creators. A wide soundstage, controlled bass response, and clear midrange create an immersive listening experience worthy of the Scorpions’ iconic catalog.
Materials of the highest quality
The CNC-milled plinth has been enlarged for added stability. The construction is entirely free of plastic parts, and the careful manufacturing eliminates voids, effectively preventing unwanted vibrations within the chassis. Furthermore, the glass platter is heavy, ensuring a resonance-free design and eliminating the disadvantages of plastic or lightweight steel alternatives. Specially selected turntable feet also effectively isolate the turntable from ambient vibrations near your hi-fi system.
Including tonearm and cartridge
Featuring a straight 9-inch aluminum arm and low-friction bearings, the integrated one-piece tonearm ensures precise tracking. The integrated headshell minimizes vibration and outperforms detachable alternatives, while the adjustable, spring-based anti-skating mechanism maximizes the cartridge’s performance.
The Scorpions Special Edition turntable comes with the Pick it 25A Moving Magnet cartridge. This cartridge is designed for precise groove tracking and a dynamic, transparent sound, allowing records to play with clarity, detail, and full musical expression immediately after unpacking, setting them up, and connecting them.
The Pro-Ject Audio Scorpions Turntable has a suggested retail price of $649.
