Designed to coincide with the release of The George Harrison Vinyl Collection LP box set-set from USM, the limited edition George Harrison record player is a true collectors' piece.
Unique design
Based on the Essential IIIA deck, the George Harrison edition is a unique design, created by Studio Number One. Studio Number One was founded by Shepard Fairey, and the Pro-Ject George Harrison record player makes use of an image taken from the world-famous artist's work.
The perfect turntable for audiophiles on a budget
Putting engineering quality first, the Project Essential IIIA is perfect for those that enjoy their music above all else. With a specification that includes isolation feet, a low vibration motor with DC power supply and a quality Ortofon cartridge, the Essential IIIA offers much more than just the basics and gives a class-leading sound.
Sound enhancing acrylic platter on this 'A' version
Swapping the pressed steel platter of the previous Essential models for an acrylic one makes a big difference. These are usually only standard on turntables costing much more as they cost far more to produce than pressed steel ones. Acrylic offers an inert surface contact, reducing the unwanted effects of resonance. This means you'll not only hear more detail but more a more natural tone, too.
Engineered for sound
Unlike many other turntables around this price, the Pro-Ject Essential 3 has all the elements of a proper hi-fi turntable - just at a lower price. The low vibration DC motor gives stable speed for accurate pitch and timing. The main bearing is made from stainless steel and runs within a bronze bushing with a Teflon coating. This type of build integrity is usually reserved for much more expensive designs and gives the Essential 3A a remarkable precision of sound for its price.
Single piece aluminium tonearm
Continuing its hi-fi credentials, the Pro-Ject Essential IIIA is supplied with a good quality tonearm. Made from a single piece of aluminium, it's both light and rigid. The more rigid the more precisely it tracks, making listening to your records a more involving experience. For long-lasting quality, the tone-arm is fitted with sapphire bearings.
Supplied with top quality Ortofon OM10
So that you can get listening to your treasured vinyl straight away, the Essential IIIA come fitted with an Ortofon OM10 cartridge. This quality cartridge uses a finer stylus to get deeper into the groove, giving you a broader sound and more detail.
Superb sound with unique aesthetics, the George Harrison record player stands out from the crowd.
