Pro-Ject Juke Box E1 Turntable - Ortofon OM5e

Build a Complete Vinyl System with Just a Pair of Speakers

The Pro-Ject Juke Box E1 is more than a turntable. It combines a belt-drive turntable, phono preamp, Bluetooth receiver, line preamp and integrated amplifier in one easy-to-use system. Add a pair of passive speakers and speaker wire, and you are ready to enjoy records and streamed music.

This all-in-one design is a smart choice for a first vinyl system, a smaller room or any space where you want fewer components. It gives you real stereo speaker placement without needing a separate receiver or integrated amplifier.

Start Playing Records with Less Setup

The Juke Box E1 comes with a pre-mounted Ortofon OM 5E moving-magnet cartridge. Pro-Ject also sets the tracking force and anti-skating at the factory. You do not need to mount a cartridge or make these tonearm adjustments before your first listening session.

The setup process includes installing the drive belt and platter, attaching the dust cover and Bluetooth antenna, and connecting your speakers. Electronic speed control lets you select 33 or 45 rpm with a switch. You do not need to move the belt when changing record speeds.

Built-In Power Keeps the System Simple

The built-in stereo amplifier delivers 50 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Speaker outputs connect the Juke Box E1 directly to passive speakers, so a separate amplifier is not required.

A top-mounted display shows the selected input and volume level. The front control knob handles power, input selection and volume. The included remote adds power, volume, input, bass, treble and loudness controls from your listening seat.

Play Records and Stream Music Through One System

The built-in Bluetooth receiver lets you stream music from a compatible phone, tablet or computer through your connected speakers. An analog line input can connect another source, such as a CD player or tuner.

The Bluetooth connection is an input, not an output. It does not send record sound to Bluetooth headphones or wireless speakers. A fixed line output carries the turntable signal to another audio component when needed.

Designed for Stable Vinyl Playback

The 8.6-inch aluminum tonearm uses sapphire bearings and is matched with the included Ortofon cartridge. A damped DC motor turns the platter through a silicone belt. The 300 mm ABS polymer platter is made to resist unwanted resonance, while special feet help isolate the turntable from outside vibration.

The Juke Box E1 is handmade in Europe and includes a hinged dust cover. Choose a high-gloss Black or Red finish to match your room and speakers.

Is the Pro-Ject Juke Box E1 Right for You?

• Best for a simple vinyl system: It replaces a separate turntable, phono preamp, preamp and power amplifier.
• Passive speakers are required: Speakers and speaker wire are not included and must be purchased separately.
• Easy for a first-time owner: The cartridge, tracking force and anti-skating are set at the factory.
• Useful for more than records: Bluetooth and an analog line input let you use other music sources with the same speakers.
• Not a Bluetooth transmitter: It receives streamed music but cannot send record sound to Bluetooth headphones or wireless speakers.

Setup, Compatibility & What’s Included

Connect a pair of passive speakers to the speaker outputs with speaker wire. Speakers and speaker wire are sold separately. The Juke Box E1 does not need an external phono preamp or amplifier for normal use.

The box includes the Juke Box E1, pre-mounted Ortofon OM 5E cartridge, remote control with batteries, felt record mat, hinged dust cover, Bluetooth antenna, 7-inch record adapter, power supply, power cable, Allen key, stylus pressure gauge and fabric gloves.
