Pro-Ject AUTOMAT Series A1 - Fully Automatic Turntable
Automatic operation without compromise
Automatic turntable operation is often linked with lesser sound quality and performance due to either a heavier tonearm or internal components interfering with the tonal qualities of the turntable. Pro-Ject prevents this by using mechanical operation so that once you press start you can sit and relax whilst the system is entirely disengaged. This bundled with the meticulous design of the belt-drive system offers you a silent and efficient experience. The sturdy low-mass tonearm and Ortofon cartridge come pre-adjusted for precise tracking force and luscious sound reproduction, right out the box.

Perfect playback
Everything about the A1 has been designed to enhance performance for prime sonic quality every single time you listen to your favourite albums or singles. The Automat A1 features a sturdy wooden base that avoids hollow spaces, a damped aluminium platter that has been precisely balanced with a damping ring for extra weight, feet with silicon damping and a carbon fibre reinforced anti-magnetic headshell. All of these features combined aim to reduce resonance and vibration so you get perfect playback and your vinyl records are protected for long life and trouble-free service.

Easy integration into any setup
Convenience is assured with the A1 from the fact it comes pre-adjusted for immediate use out of the box down to its connection options. Thanks to its built-in MM phono stage you're free to connect it up with your current setup through line or aux input and get straight to listening to your favourite albums and tracks. However, for those with an external phono preamp already in their setup, you can bypass the built-in preamp without any compromise on the sound you already know love from your current equipment. For those just getting into Hi-Fi, it acts as the perfect tool allowing you to get straight into it, with the option of evolving your setup over time.

Pros

German, super, Om 10

Minuses

There is no power button, and a few words in the review

Review

A good player for a beginner or for a vinyl not very frozen ... A voluminous collection of records was inherited, the choice fell on the Pro-jet A1 (OM 10), there are codes on the box, which is easy to understand where the bottom is up, the packaging is excellent, Even if you carry from the store like a suitcase, nothing will happen to it ... The most excellent inter -block wire, just respect for the full program !!!! But :-) You launched a plate and at this time in a non-feeled way you close the transparent lid, then most likely you will hear such a not strong boom in the columns ... If the needle on the zero track crawls to the first track, and you put on the cabinet on which there is a player of the one The same brush from dust ... You will hear not a strong boom in the columns .... I’ll try to additionally put some demos under the legs ... Understand correctly, it’s not critical, just know that this is the initial level that is definitely worth your money. . By sound, I dug up in the collection as young we were Gradsky .... fucking, the feeling of presence was to goosebumps ... I did not regret the captivity, a wonderful unit with a magic of a machine gun, a good sound (if you do not drum on the cabinet on which He stands) I definitely recommend buying (not for dancing of course) to enjoy the sound ...

Pros

Full machine, convenient. It will be optimal with a built -in corrector

Minuses

The head of Om 10 disappointed a little. When turning off, the sound from the head does not turn off when the needle is cleaned to be prepared. I could not adjust the legs.

Review

A good player, from the category for the lazy. Put, turned on and listen. I think to replace OM10 with Pick-SIT 25A. For money, it is fully consistent. Mechanics only work when moving tonarm, it does not interfere with the final listening.

Pros

Heavy, even sound, resistant to vibrations, a quiet mechanism

Minuses

Someone may not be suitable for a steamed RCA cable

Review

I took an Audio-Technica at-vp60xusb. Compared to this PRO-JECT player, 2-3 times more weighty, it looks more solid. Compared the sound, the Pro-JECT signal level is about 3 dB below, although in terms of characteristics I expected a small increase on the contrary. Not critical. The sound compared to audio equipment is softer, even, the bass is not so bulging. In general, without comparing the forehead in the forehead, the sound is very similar. For me, the most important advantage was the stability of the player to fluctuations, the floor in the apartment is poorly laid and the parquet swims, and with it the dolling cabinet. Audio equipment was stuck, went on tiptoe. This player does not care, at least jump. The playing speed is flat, corresponds to studio records. I am very pleased with the purchase, for this money perhaps the best machine gun.

Pros

fully machine, made in Germany

Minuses

Box as a pasta, there is no indication top of the bottom, instruction sheet. There is no opportunity to regulate the catporting, the needle in terms of pressing and anitsky -intelligence of the auditing agent offers this. Kga

Review

I took according to the reviews (according to YouTube, etc.) a machine for Jack, it's cool. The box is unhappy that the box is just a cardboard, and it is not indicated where the bottom or top and when unpacking of course the top turned out to be below. (Funny) During the transportation, what was hanging there (it was good that a piece of foam turned out to be) It plays well, but not super, the same audio technician sounds brighter (within the price) although, of course, there are almost no sounds of switching in mechanics. In the general apparatus, I am satisfied, especially at the cost, the machine is super, you don’t need to run after the plate, etc.
