Pro-Ject The Classic Reference turntable, without cartridge
Piano black/silver, Pro-Ject EVO 9 AS HG tonearm
The Classic Reference
The reference in audio reproduction
The new The Classic Reference combines technical finesse and luxury design like no other turntable. It is based on the Classic EVO and the experience we gained designing our iconic turntable for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
33/45/78 RPM
Precision motor control
The motor is powered by a DC-driven AC Generator which creates a completely clean sine wave to ensure the highest speed stability.
Main Platter
A throne for your records
The platter is precisely machined out of a special aluminum alloy with a TPE ring on the inside, which offers special damping abilities.
Aluminum Sub Platter
Best speed accuracy
The diamond cut Aluminum sub-platter can be machined to much improved and lower tolerances compared to standard plastic sub-platters. It adds more mass to the entire platter and drive system, resulting in additional damping of noise and unwanted resonances.
Sub Chassis Construction
The sub chassis isolates the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth. The floating Aluminum chassis sits on decoupling TPE damping balls.
High End Tonearm
The Classic Reference is equipped with our high end Precision EVO 9 AS HG tonearm. It uses an inverted cardanic Swiss ABEC 7 quality bearing with 4 stainless steel tips. The bearing sits in a heavyweight aluminum housing, which provides the needed stability. The massive outer ring is open to avoid resonances. For the EVO AS tonearms, we use a special Aluminum s-shape tube with the highest internal damping, paired with an SME-type headshell. The inner wiring is made of flexible high-purity copper which is an optimum conductor for the small phono signal.
True Balanced XLR output
The new The Classic Reference offers classic RCA and additional balanced XLR output sockets. The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interferences.
