Pro-Ject Signature 12.2 Turntable

After showing off various early design-concepts of this turntable at audio shows worldwide over the past couple of years, we‘re more than excited to officially introduce our new flagship turntable, the Signature 12.2. Pro-Ject Audio Systems is not typically associated with the ultimate of high-end turntables. But our goal has always been to make high-end technology more affordable. To really understand what high-end means, we‘ve always been working on different high-end turntable technologies to improve our reference-designs so we can create spin-offs for more affordable record players. That‘s why we created the Signature line! We‘re thrilled to offer these turntables at an extremely attractive price, as the development cost is not counted, as we anyway had to do the research to move forward with Pro-Ject technology in general. The new Signature 12.2 is now even more impressive than its predecessor! The ultimate in craftsmanship! The Signature 12.2 represents highest level of turntable technology with exclusive materials and luxury finish. The turntable is handmade only by our best trained people! All metal parts are hand polished and there are about 100 different CNC parts used - all made in house. Note, it takes about 2 days to hand-polish and precision-mount all the components, and all components are manufactured in-house. The heavy MDF main chassis is hand-painted in 10 layers and carefully hand-polished to achieve the classic, timeless and luxurious piano-black finish. The main chassis is bigger and more massive than before, plus the new rounded edges reduce standing waves. With precision CNC machining we avoid hollow spaces wherever possible avoiding any unwanted resonances.
