Pro-Ject Juke Box E1 vinyl system is a fusion of modern convenience and vintage soul

Pro-Ject Juke Box E1 set in white

Take a close look at the Juke Box E1. This all-in-one music system from Austrian turntable titan Pro-Ject Audio Systems could well be the sonic upgrade you’ve been looking for.

Combining a premium vinyl record player with Bluetooth streamer and amplifier, it’s a stylish, classic looking package designed to soothe any music-loving soul.

Handmade in Europe, the Juke Box E1 isn’t just a vinyl record player; it features an integrated phono stage, a Bluetooth receiver, a pre-amplifier, and a powerful 50W per-channel Class D amplifier. With a simple addition of speakers, this turntable system becomes a complete hi-fi setup certain to turn heads as it spins records.

The successor to the Juke Box E series, launched in 2017,  the Juke Box E1 takes the philosophy of its predecessor and enhances it with a new tonearm, a sub-platter drive system, and improved speed-switching capabilities between 33 and 45 RPM.

Setting up the Pro-Ject Juke Box E1 is said to be a breeze, debunking the myth that hi-fi systems are complex…

From the CNC-machined wood chassis to the aluminium tonearm and the esteemed Ortofon OM 5E cartridge, each component is paired to deliver a high-quality audio experience.

Setting up the Pro-Ject Juke Box E1 is said to be a breeze, debunking the myth that hi-fi systems are complex. Attach the drive belt, insert the anti-resonant ABS polymer main platter, plug in the power cable, and you’re ready to go.

The pre-set and balanced tonearm ensures perfect playback from the get-go. The top-mounted high-contrast display and the intuitive turntable speed selector promise to make operation intuitive, while the 32-step digital potentiometer allows precise volume control.

The supplied remote control enhances convenience, providing Bass and Treble adjustment and a Loudness boost, when the Juke Box E1 is out of reach.

For those without a pair of stereo speakers ready to connect, Pro-Ject also has the  Juke Box E1 SET. This bundle includes a pair of Pro-Ject’s own Speaker Box 5 speakers in a matching finish, a solid-core loudspeaker cable, and isolation feet for the speakers.  

Available now, the Pro-Ject Juke Box E1 is priced at £599, while the Juke Box E1 SET sells for £799. It comes in four stylish finishes: Black, White, Red, and Walnut.
