Pro-Ject VTE Vertical Turntable - Right Handed - White - Ortofon OM5

"Warm and Detailed" Innovative Vertical Tracking Turntable

A vertical turntable? Is it even possible? Pro-Ject's innovative VT-E vertical tracking belt-drive turntable lets you place a turntable where no turntable has gone before. It uses a special mechanism for perfect tracking in a vertical position plus a record clamp to hold your LP securely in place. And it sounds very good, too, offering the audio performance that you expect from Pro-Ject.

The VT-E boasts a low vibration synchronous motor with a DC power supply, an 11.8"-diameter, 1.8 lb. MDF platter with felt record mat, a stainless steel platter, and a high quality 8.6" aluminum tonearm. Easy manual speed change lets you play LPs and 45s. The interconnect cable with gold-plated RCA connectors comes pre-installed.

"Impressive Precision"

In his September 29, 2016 review for thevinylfactory.com, Anton Spice reports, "The presentation is quite focused with an impressive precision within the upper mids. Strummed guitars will impress, for example, while banks of strings are infused with air and space while the bass has the admirable element of impact."

"It's a plug 'n play design, available in left- and right-handed versions and can be positioned upright on a desk using the supplied back support, or wall-mounted using the brackets that come in the box," notes Andy Madden, What Hi-Fi? magazine, July 10, 2016.

"Playback Quality is Gorgeous"

"The overall playback quality is gorgeous. Firstly, I was amazed at how quietly the player operates. Secondly, the audio is warm and detailed, the highs are clean, and the bass is deep without being boomy or overwhelming. Even my old records sounded great when played on this table – love it!" raves David Woods, vinylrecordday.com, August 13, 2023.

"It delivers outstanding performance and sounds clear. The drive belt is quiet and the unique way it clamps the record in place is innovative," reports David Richard, toprecordplayers.com, December 29, 2023. "One of the major features… is the overall quality. Pro-ject has been making top quality turntables for over 30 years, and this one is no exception."

Ready to Go Right Out of the Box

Pro-Ject's VT-E turntable proves that turntable setup doesn’t have to be rocket science. Installation is a breeze since everything is pre-adjusted and ready to go right out of the box. Tracking and anti-skating force are carefully set so no further set-up is required. This great sounding belt-driven 'table even comes in two separate versions for either a left-handed or right-handed user, making it especially convenient to operate.

Includes Ortofon OM5e Phono Cartridge

Pre-installed on your VT-E is an Ortofon OM5e phono cartridge. This nicely performing MM moving magnet phono cartridge has elliptical shaped stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. Music you've heard many times takes on new dimensions with the OM5e.

The VT-E can be positioned either freestanding on a table or wall-mounted using the included low-profile metal bracket.

The VT-E turntable is available in matte black, red, or white finishes and in right-handed or left-handed configurations.
