Pro-Ject Signature

The 23-pound platter is magnetically decoupled from the chassis, which effectively floats the assembly to minimize mechanical noise and vibrations. This isolation ensures that the stylus tracks the record groove with greater precision and clarity.

The 12-inch single-pivot tonearm is designed to accommodate cartridges with a mass between 4 and 10 grams. It includes several counterweights, allowing you to fine-tune the tracking force for a wide range of high-end moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.

The turntable features electronic speed control that allows you to switch between 33 and 45 RPM at the touch of a button. While it is not fully automatic in terms of playback, the LCD display provides precise feedback to ensure your records spin at the exact correct speed.

Because the unit weighs 75 pounds, you must place it on a sturdy, level surface capable of supporting significant mass. We recommend a dedicated, vibration-damped audio rack to ensure the turntable's internal isolation systems can perform optimally.

The Signature 12 requires professional-level setup, including leveling the chassis using the included spirit level and mounting your chosen cartridge. Due to the complexity of the tonearm and the mass-loaded design, we recommend having a qualified technician assist with the initial calibration.

The flywheel system adds rotational inertia to the drive mechanism, which smooths out tiny speed fluctuations. This results in superior speed stability and a more consistent, pitch-accurate playback experience.
