The Pro-Ject Artist Series Dark Side Of The Moon Turntable
“There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark.”
The album "The Dark Side Of The Moon" is celebrated not just for its groundbreaking music but also for its iconic artwork—an enigmatic prism reflecting beams of light into space. This imagery captures a magical and mystical theme, emblematic of Pro-Ject's intricate sonic landscape.
Venturing beyond the album, Pro-Ject embarked on a clear mission: to craft a turntable that pays homage to this iconic artwork, faithfully reproducing its dynamics and colors. The outcome is an extraordinary turntable, a unique creation blending the core elements of the artwork design with premium materials. The plinth, constructed from 28mm MDF, provides a stable foundation. The heavy aluminum sub platter's stainless steel axle rests in a bronze bushing, ensuring precision. A flat silicon belt connects to the AC motor, guaranteeing stable speeds.
The prism plinth design, made of high-quality MDF, serves as the foundation for this unique turntable. Its 8.6" acrylic tonearm with spring antiskating, dimmable LED rainbow backlight, and a speed switch following the special design make it truly distinctive. The precision belt drive with electronic speed control, semi-symmetrical phono cable, and gold-plated RCA connectors contribute to the turntable's exceptional performance. The 10mm heavy glass platter and precision aluminum sub platter complement the design.
A standout feature is the low-resonance tonearm, a novel design in black aluminum and acrylic, creating a captivating visual appeal. The included Pick it PRO Special Edition is finely tuned to harmonize with the entire concept, delivering the rich sound expected from a Dark Side Of The Moon turntable. Enhanced by the LED backlit rainbow, the turntable becomes even more visually impressive when playing your favorite records in the dark.
Designed and meticulously handcrafted in Europe, the "The Dark Side Of The Moon" turntable exemplifies longevity through its superior materials and thoughtful design. Pro-Ject aspires to lead the industry with its commitment to high-quality components and innovative design, ensuring that its turntables stand the test of time.
