About the Primary E
The Pro-Ject Primary E is a fully manual, belt-drive turntable with a synchronous motor and manually selected 33⅓ and 45 RPM speeds. It has an 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm with sapphire bearings, a pre-mounted Ortofon OM moving-magnet cartridge, a 300 mm platter with felt mat, and a composite-fibre chassis. The standard Primary E provides phono-level RCA output and does not include a built-in phono preamplifier. A dust cover is included.
