Pro-Ject T1 EVO BT Turntable with Ortofon OM 10 Cartridge

A no-plastic turntable that sends your vinyl to any Bluetooth speaker

The Pro-Ject T1 EVO BT Turntable is a belt-driven deck built from real materials: a CNC-machined wooden plinth, a heavy glass platter and a one-piece aluminium tonearm, all fitted with an Ortofon OM10 moving magnet cartridge. A built-in aptX Bluetooth transmitter plays your records wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers, and a switchable phono stage lets you wire it straight into a traditional amplifier or active speakers.

Why You'll Love It

• Wireless vinyl, done properly. The built-in aptX Bluetooth transmitter streams your records to Bluetooth speakers, so you can enjoy vinyl in a room without running any cables.
• Connects to almost anything. A switchable phono preamplifier is built in, so you can plug the T1 EVO BT directly into any amplifier, active speaker or a traditional phono input.
• Ready to play from the start. It arrives with an Ortofon OM10 moving magnet cartridge and Pro-Ject's own shielded phono cable, so there is no guesswork about matching parts.

Under the Hood

• No plastic in the chassis. The CNC-machined wooden plinth is made with no hollow spaces and no plastic parts, which keeps unwanted vibration out of the sound.
• Heavy glass platter. A zero-resonance glass platter rides on a newly designed sub-platter and an ultra-precise 0.001 mm main bearing with a hardened stainless steel axle and brass bushing.
• One-piece aluminium tonearm. The tonearm is a single piece of aluminium with an integrated headshell and low-friction bearings, which improves accuracy over screwed-on or glued-on headshells.

CHT Insider Verdict

The T1 EVO BT is for the listener who wants genuine hi-fi engineering and the convenience of Bluetooth in one deck. You get a serious plinth, platter and tonearm, plus the freedom to go wireless or wired whenever it suits the room. It is a tidy, honest turntable that does not cut corners to reach its price.

Pro Tip: Running into a hi-fi amplifier that already has a phono input? Switch the T1 EVO BT's built-in phono stage off first, so you are not passing the signal through two phono preamplifiers at once.
