Platine vinyle Pro-Ject The Dark Side Of The Moon

The Pro-Ject "The Dark Side Of The Moon" turntable is a tribute to one of the iconic albums of the famous band, The Pink Floyd. It represents the enigmatic prism that reflects beams of light into space. This magical and mystical theme serves as an illustration of the complex sound world of the British group.

Pro-Ject The Dark Side Of The Moon: Chassis

The chassis is completely in the theme! It is mainly made of a 28mm thick lacquered medium triangle. This element gives the turntable excellent rigidity. It is complemented on the right by a LED-lit rainbow. In addition to offering a unique design, this element receives the arm support, and of course the arm. On the left of the chassis, there is an aluminum rod that activates the power on and therefore the rotation of the turntable.

Pro-Ject The Dark Side Of The Moon: Motor and Drive

The drive of the sub-platter, therefore the platter, is managed by a synchronous motor via a belt. This motor is very quiet and receives damping to prevent vibrations from being transmitted to the chassis. It drives a new 10mm thick glass platter. The stainless steel axle rests in a bronze bushing. The assembly is manufactured with very low tolerance. It receives a perfectly machined aluminum sub-platter. The speed and speed change are controlled electronically via a new control board. This generates a powerful and very stable sinusoidal alternating current. Voltage drops or frequency variations have no effect on the rotation of the vinyl turntable. The drive of the sub-platter, therefore the platter, is managed by a synchronous motor via a flat silicone belt.

Pro-Ject The Dark Side Of The Moon: Arm and Cartridge

The 8.6-inch tonearm is a completely new design, and is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this turntable. It combines black aluminum elements and acrylic elements. The anti-skating is applied via a side knob. It acts mechanically on the arm through a spring. The tracking force is applied by a non-graduated heavy counterweight and therefore requires a balance for precise adjustment. The Dark Side Of The Moon is equipped with a Pro-Ject Pick it PRO Special Edition MM cartridge.

Pro-Ject The Dark Side Of The Moon: Phono Cable

It is worth noting that all Pro-Ject turntables (even entry-level models) come with a "real" phono cable, unlike many competing turntables. The Connect it E is a low-capacitance phono cable with superior shielding to standard modulation cables. The signal from an MM cartridge, and even more so from an MC cartridge, is very fragile in nature. "Cheap" RCA cables do not provide the ideal conditions for transmitting a correct phono signal without distortion.
