About the Primary
The Pro-Ject Primary is a manual, belt-drive turntable with an Ortofon OM 5E moving-magnet cartridge pre-mounted and pre-adjusted. It uses an 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm with sapphire bearings, a 300 mm platter with felt mat, an external motor and power supply, and vibration-isolating feet. The standard Primary has no built-in phono stage; it includes RCA output cables and a dust cover.
