Pro-Ject Perspex Turntable Dust Cover

The Pro-Ject Perspex Dust Cover

An acrylic dust cover designed and manufactured by Pro-Ject specifically for the Perspex turntable, sold singly. It is the maker's own part rather than a generic cover cut to approximate dimensions.

That distinction decides whether a cover sits flat or rocks on a corner. A dust cover is cut to a plinth footprint, and a few millimetres out is a cover that never quite settles.

Fit and Materials

Which Turntable

It fits the Pro-Ject Perspex. Pro-Ject also state it can be used with the Perspex mounted on the Ground-It isolation platform, which is worth knowing if your deck sits on one — a platform changes the height, and many covers stop fitting at that point.

What It Stops

Airborne dust and grime settle on a platter between sessions, and the stylus drives whatever is on the record into the groove wall. A cover does not clean anything; it decides how much is there to begin with.

Who Is This Cover Best For?

• You own a Pro-Ject Perspex — this cover was made for that turntable
• Your Perspex sits on a Ground-It platform — Pro-Ject confirm the cover works in that configuration
• Your original cover broke — this is Pro-Ject's own part, to the same specification
• Your turntable is in a living room — that is where the dust comes from
• Your deck is another Pro-Ject — covers are model-specific; the rest are in dustcovers

How Do You Fit It?

Lower it over the turntable and check it sits square. If your Perspex is on a Ground-It platform, confirm the cover still clears the arm at its highest point, since the platform raises everything by its own thickness.

Pairs Well With

What most owners keep alongside.

• Record brushes — a pass before each side, whatever the cover does
• Stylus cleaning — for the dust that reaches the stylus anyway
• Record mats — mat thickness affects the clearance under a cover
• Dustcovers — the rest of the range, by turntable

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my turntable?

Pro-Ject make it for the Perspex, and state it can be used with the Perspex alone or with the Perspex on the Ground-It isolation platform.

How many do I need?

One, sold singly. It is a fitting rather than a consumable.

Does it still fit on an isolation platform?

Pro-Ject say it does. Check the arm clears the cover at its highest point once the platform has raised the deck.
