The Classic meets the 175 VPO to melt design-ideas
Counterweight, Azimuth & VTA Adjustment
The Pro-Ject Classic Evo counterweight incorporates a TPE* damping material into its design. This allows us to reduce the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%. The Pro-Ject Classic Evo also allows a lot more adjustment than a regular turntable. The tonearm has extra tweaking ability for both Azimuth (twist) and VTA (height) adjustment. Allowing you to modify the turntable for use with a variety of Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges.
Aluminium Sub-platter
A beautifully crafted, diamond-cut aluminium sub-platter. With extremely low tolerances and a heavy design, this stunning aluminium sub-platter helps remove wow and flutter and facilitates accurate speed for your music. The aluminium sub-platter is completely unique and only available on the Pro-Ject Classic Evo.
The heavy aluminium main platter construction utilises advanced thermo plastic elastomers (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 Evo is precisely machined out of a special aluminium alloy again damped with TPE*, which offers special damping abilities. The main bearing construction we use is a similar system as the one on the Vienna Philharmonic Record player.
The diamond cut precision alu sub-platter, like in the limited edition Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer, enables much improved tolerances. This extraordinarily sophisticated part is accurately machined and guarantees a very good isolation between bearing noise and the platter itself.
New carbon/aluminium tonearm
The radical new designed Classic tonearm is the result of 25 years of experience in mechanical construction. The tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of carbon and aluminium: carbon for stiffness and speed, alu for better damping. The bearing has been upgraded to the same type that is used on our Pro-Ject CC EVO tonearms. It facilitates frictionless vertical and horizontal movement, guaranteeing precise tracking across the entire duration of the record. The counterweight incorporates a TPE* damper which allows us to reduce the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%.
Speed Control for Every Record
In-built Speed Control on the Pro-Ject Classic Evo allows you to play all formats of records. The common 33 & 45 RPM speeds are toggled between with an effortless click of the button. For 78 RPM Shellac records it’s a simple belt change (included in the box) and the addition of an Ortofon 78 stylus upgrade.
