Pro-Ject Signature

The 3-point pivot system is engineered to significantly reduce friction compared to traditional bearings. This allows the tonearm to track record grooves with greater precision and stability, resulting in improved sound clarity and reduced distortion.

The 10 kg platter is magnetically decoupled to effectively isolate it from external vibrations and motor noise. By floating the platter, the system ensures a silent background and prevents unwanted resonance from coloring your music.

The Signature 12.2 features electronic speed control. You can switch between 33 and 45 RPM effortlessly using the integrated control panel, eliminating the need to manually move the belt.

Yes, the Signature 12.2 is a high-end manual turntable that does not include a built-in phono stage. You will need to connect it to an external phono preamplifier or an amplifier with a dedicated phono input to achieve the best audio performance.

The ceramic ball and plate bearing is designed for high durability and minimal wear. While it is largely maintenance-free, it is recommended to keep the spindle clean and follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding periodic lubrication to ensure long-term precision.

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is used to dampen the aluminum platter, which helps absorb micro-vibrations that occur during playback. This creates a more stable, inert surface for your records, leading to a tighter, more accurate sonic presentation.
