Pro-Ject AC/DC Limited Edition Turntable

An Electrifying Tribute, Engineered as a Real Turntable

The AC/DC Limited Edition turns one of rock's most recognizable symbols into a genuine hi-fi turntable, with a lightning-bolt plinth built from 28mm MDF and paired with a matching transparent acrylic tonearm.

Underneath the artwork sits a heavy 10mm glass platter, an acrylic sub-platter rotating on a stainless-steel axle in a brass bushing, and a belt-drive system built to isolate the platter from motor vibration, with red LED illumination glowing beneath the glass for a genuinely striking effect.

This is a manual turntable with no built-in phono preamp, ready to play with a factory-adjusted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge already mounted and aligned on its unique 8.6-inch acrylic tonearm.

Real Engineering Behind the Artwork

A Heavy Glass Platter with Light Underneath

The 10mm glass platter provides a stable, low-resonance foundation for your records, while the acrylic sub-platter beneath it turns on a stainless-steel axle seated in a brass bushing for smooth, quiet rotation.

Red LED lighting glows beneath the platter and the semi-opaque acrylic tonearm, most visible with the included felt mat removed before you drop the needle, and electronic speed selection switches between 33 and 45rpm without moving the belt.

A Unique Acrylic Tonearm, Ready to Play

The 8.6-inch acrylic tonearm mirrors the lightning-bolt plinth's shape and uses spring-based anti-skating, an unusual material choice that avoids the resonant "ringing" tube effect more common in standard aluminum tonearms.

An Ortofon 2M Red moving-magnet cartridge arrives pre-adjusted at the factory, a lively, detailed match for rock records that still stays plenty versatile enough for the rest of your record collection.

What Reviewers Are Saying

What Hi-Fi? found the AC/DC Turntable "sounds tidy, clean and precise," with a soundstage that's "pleasingly big and admirably stable, with the instruments and vocals all in focus."

Who Is the AC/DC Turntable Best For?

• You want an officially licensed AC/DC centerpiece — that's also engineered as a genuine hi-fi turntable, not just a display piece
• You prefer the convenience of a factory-installed cartridge — the Ortofon 2M Red arrives pre-adjusted, ready to play
• You want electronic 33/45rpm speed selection — no belt to reposition by hand when you change speeds
• You have, or plan to get, an MM phono preamp — this is a manual turntable with no built-in phono stage of its own
• You want an upgrade path built in — a higher 2M stylus clips straight into the same body

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Connect the included Connect it Phono E RCA cable to an amplifier or receiver's MM phono input, matching the yellow-marked cable end to the receiving component.

If your system only has a standard line-level input, add an external phono preamp between the turntable and the rest of your amplifier chain to bridge that particular remaining gap.

Pairs Well With

Where the AC/DC Turntable goes from here:

• Phono preamplifiers — required, since none is built into this turntable
• Integrated amplifiers — with a phono input suited to moving-magnet cartridges, or paired with a separate phono preamp
• Audio racks — a rigid, level shelf gives the glass platter a stable, vibration-free foundation
• Record cleaning accessories — clean records sound better and protect the stylus
