Pro-Ject E1 BT Plug & Play Bluetooth Turntable - Audio Technica AT3600L Cartridge

Pro-Ject's Wireless, Plug-and-Play Turntable

The E1 BT takes the standard E1 and adds two things: a built-in, switchable phono preamp and a Bluetooth transmitter. Tracking force and anti-skating are pre-adjusted at the factory, so there's no lengthy setup before your first record.

This package ships with an Audio-Technica AT3600L moving-magnet cartridge pre-mounted and precision-aligned at the factory, running on an 8.6-inch aluminum tonearm built to accept other cartridges if you upgrade later.

A built-in analog-to-digital converter feeds the Bluetooth transmitter, so you can send your records wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones, Bluetooth speakers, or a Bluetooth-equipped DAC anywhere else across the room — no cable required.

Bluetooth Out, Plus a Switchable Phono Preamp

A Bluetooth Transmitter Built In

Unlike some Pro-Ject all-in-one systems that only receive streamed audio, the E1 BT's Bluetooth works the other direction: it transmits your records out to Bluetooth headphones, speakers, or a compatible DAC, over a built-in analog-to-digital converter.

That wireless path sits alongside a standard wired RCA output, so you can pick either connection depending on what the rest of your listening system happens to need on a given day.

A Built-In, Switchable Phono Preamp

Most modern receivers and integrated amps lack a dedicated phono input, so most turntables need a separate outboard phono preamp. The E1 BT solves that with a phono preamp built into the plinth, switchable on or off from the back panel.

With the preamp on, plug straight into any line-level input. Switch it off to route the raw cartridge signal to your own outboard phono preamp or an amp's built-in phono input instead.

Who Is This Turntable Best For?

• You want to send your records to Bluetooth headphones or speakers — the E1 BT transmits wirelessly, unlike Pro-Ject's Bluetooth-receive-only systems
• Your amp or receiver has no phono input — the built-in, switchable phono preamp handles it
• You want a factory-matched cartridge, ready to play — the Audio-Technica AT3600L arrives pre-mounted and aligned
• You want push-button speed change — 33 and 45rpm switch electronically, with no belt to move
• You already own a phono preamp you like — switch the E1 BT's built-in one off and use your own instead

How Does It Connect to Your System?

With the built-in phono preamp switched on, connect the E1 BT to any line-level input on an amp, receiver, or powered speakers — no separate phono stage required.

Switch the preamp off to send the raw cartridge signal to your own outboard phono preamp or an amp's phono input instead, or skip the cable entirely and pair a Bluetooth device to listen wirelessly.

Pairs Well With

Where the E1 BT goes from here:

• Phono cartridges — the aluminum tonearm leaves room for a future cartridge upgrade
• Integrated amplifiers — many include a phono input, letting you skip the built-in preamp entirely
• Powered speakers — plug straight in, wired or wirelessly, for a simple vinyl system
• Record cleaning accessories — clean records sound better and protect the stylus
