The Pro-Ject Audio Essential III Phono turntable features belt drive and a modern motor with DC power supply, which minimizes motor vibrations and helps maintain speed stability. The built-in MM phono preamp and preinstalled Ortofon OM10 cartridge are paired with an 8.6-inch aluminum tonearm with sapphire bearings.
The platter and chassis are made of MDF, while the drive pulley is made of aluminum with a diamond-cut surface. Speeds are changed manually. The package includes an RCA connection cable with gold-plated connectors, a power supply and a dust cover.
