Pro-Ject T2

The Pro-Ject T2 is designed for those who want a more serious turntable with high-quality components, but without the hassle of complicated setup. Each turntable is pre-adjusted at the factory, so all you have to do is put on the cartridge, attach the belt, and connect it to your audio system.

Behind the clean design lies a carefully thought-out construction—high-quality components, precise assembly, and features more commonly found in higher-end turntables.

Components That Make for Great Sound

The T2 comes equipped with a pre-installed Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge, handcrafted in Japan. It accurately reproduces instruments and vocals, while the diamond stylus ensures a clean, balanced, and musical sound. If desired, the stylus can later be upgraded to a higher-end model from the Sumiko Oyster series.

The massive drum made of tempered glass provides weight and stability and dampens unwanted resonances. It is complemented by a longer, one-piece 9″ aluminum tonearm with an integrated cartridge and a precision, low-friction bearing. A new spring-loaded anti-skate mechanism simplifies setup and improves the stylus’s performance. The chassis is constructed without plastic parts or hollow cavities to prevent unnecessary internal vibrations.

Connects to your audio system

The T2 is designed to be connected to an amplifier with a phono input or a separate phono preamp. This allows you to choose a phono preamp that suits your audio system and needs. If you want to connect your turntable directly to powered speakers or an amplifier without a phono input, you should choose the T2 Super Phono version with a built-in phono preamp.

Made in Europe

Each T2 is hand-assembled at the Pro-Ject factory in Europe. A hardened steel spindle in a bronze bushing ensures smooth rotation, while vibration-damping feet help reduce vibrations transmitted from the environment. The set also includes an acrylic dust cover and high-quality phono cables specially designed for Pro-Ject.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate phono preamp? Yes. This T2 version does not have a built-in phono preamp, so it must be connected to an amplifier with a phono input or used with a separate phono preamp. If you want to connect your turntable directly to powered speakers or an amplifier without a phono input, choose the T2 Super Phono version.

Does the record player need to be broken in before use? No. Every T2 is pre-adjusted at the factory—the tonearm and tracking force are set up and ready to go. All you have to do is put on the cartridge, thread the belt, and plug in the turntable.

What sets the T2 apart in its class? The T2 comes equipped with a Sumiko Rainier stylus, a solid tempered glass platter, a longer 9″ aluminum tonearm, and a sturdy chassis with no plastic parts. These components ensure stable operation, precise tracking, and high-quality vinyl playback.

Can the needle be replaced? Yes. The Sumiko Rainier stylus is replaceable, and you can improve the sound quality simply by purchasing a higher-end stylus from the Sumiko Oyster series. Like all turntable needles, it wears out naturally, so it’s recommended to replace it as a preventive measure.

Where was this record player manufactured? Every T2 is hand-assembled at the Pro-Ject factory in Europe—from the preparation of the chassis to final assembly and quality control.
