Pro-Ject Metallica Limited Edition Turntable with Pick it S2 C Cartridge

Artist Collection Turntable

... AND VINYL FOR ALL

The Metallica team approached us and chose Pro-Ject as their partner for a Metallica style turntable. Pro-Ject Audio Systems is proud to introduce the new Metallica turntable. The Metallica turntable continues our tradition of working with artists.

Master of Vinyl

We have given the surface of this deck a metal outline with a high gloss mirror finish which gives the player its distinctive look. The S-Shape tonearm is equipped with a removable SME headshell to enable quick cartridge changes. The turntable is delivered pre-adjusted with our Pick it S2 C cartridge. The support force and the anti-skating can be flexibly adjusted and make the Metallica Limited Edition turntable a real audiophile investment. If you put vinyl on this deck - nothing else matters.

Heavy glass turntable

The glass plate is a heavy, resonance-free design. The high mass of the glass plate ensures the most precise playback speeds and allows a clear view of the breathtaking turntable with all its high-quality parts and its unbelievable processing quality - without any plastic or lightweight constructions.

Aluminum subplatter, pulley and feet

The aluminum subplatter is one of our most coveted upgrade parts, but it comes standard on the Metallica Limited Edition turntable! The diamond ground subplatter and pulley can be machined to much better and higher tolerances. The aluminum sub-platter adds mass to the entire platter and drive system, resulting in additional dampening of noise and unwanted resonance. The improved tolerances during production increase the speed accuracy. The additional mass and the high-precision diameter of the pulley and the sub-platter improve the short-term speed fluctuations, also known as wow & flutter. The Metallica turntable has height-adjustable, sturdy metal feet that ensure level positioning, because a perfectly level player is essential for the Damage, Inc

Hardwired... to stable speed

In typical Pro-Ject tradition, engine speed is electronically controlled with precision, guaranteeing the most accurate and stable speeds. Switching between these is very easy at the touch of a button. You can also listen to your shellac records with the supplied round belt for 78 rpm.

S-shape tonearm

The 8.6" S-shape aluminum tonearm comes with a detachable SME headshell. With the SME Headshell you can swap out the pickups quickly and easily. The tonearm bearing and the tonearm base are completely milled from aluminium. You will not find any plastic components in these important parts. This is how the Metallica Limited Edition turntable plays your vinyl collection with accurate speed, accuracy and consistency. This is the end of the line for audiophile turntable design.
