All About Pro-Ject
Pro-Ject is an Austrian audio equipment manufacturer that has established itself as a leading name in high-quality turntables and audio components since its founding in 1991. The company was created by Heinz Lichtenegger during a time when CD players were dominating the market, making a bold choice to focus on analog audio equipment when many considered vinyl to be obsolete.
The brand is particularly renowned for its turntables, which range from entry-level models like the Primary E and Debut Carbon series to high-end audiophile units. Pro-Ject has consistently championed the vinyl revival, helping to make quality analog playback accessible to new generations of music enthusiasts while also satisfying seasoned audiophiles with their more sophisticated offerings.
Beyond turntables, Pro-Ject has expanded into producing a wide range of audio components, including phono preamps, integrated amplifiers, CD players, and speakers. The company's design philosophy emphasizes minimalism and high-quality materials, often featuring wooden elements and sleek metallic finishes that complement their technical excellence.
Pro-Ject's manufacturing takes place primarily in Europe, with facilities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, maintaining strict quality control standards. Their commitment to European production has helped establish their reputation for reliability and precision engineering.
