When music icons and high-fidelity engineering collide, the result can be spectacular. That’s exactly what Pro-Ject has delivered with the Pro-Ject Elvis Turntable — a limited-edition, tribute piece that honours the legacy of The King while offering genuinely serious performance.
At Kronos AV, we’re excited to show you under the hood of this striking deck — why it matters, whom it’s for, and why we’ve brought it into our showcase.
A Tribute with Substance
The Elvis Turntable is part of Pro-Ject’s celebrated Artist Collection — a line of turntables that pays homage to musicians and bands via themed design, but never at the cost of sonic integrity.
This edition marks what would have been Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday, and the design reflects that bold spirit:
-
A CNC-machined plinth houses integrated dimmable LED lighting forming the iconic ELVIS logo — a visual nod to the singer’s storied stage shows.
-
Inside, Pro-Ject leans on its proven engineering. The Elvis is based on the T2 platform, adapted and dressed to dazzle.
The idea is simple: this isn’t just a novelty turntable. It’s performance with personality.
Technical Highlights — Because Looks Aren’t Everything
Here’s what makes the Elvis Turntable seriously capable:
| Component | Feature & Benefit |
|---|---|
| Drive / Motor | Belt drive, with an electronically regulated AC motor (vs simple unregulated DC). This offers improved speed stability. |
| Speed Control | Switchable between 33 and 45 RPM via electronic control — no belt swaps. |
| Platter | A hefty 10 mm thick, 1.7 kg glass platter (with a felt mat) — zero-resonance construction to damp unwanted vibrations. |
| Tonearm & Cartridge | A 9″ aluminium one-piece arm (effective length 230 mm, overhang 22 mm, mass 9.5 g) paired with a factory-fitted Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge. |
| Anti-Skating | Spring-based, adjustable system to keep the stylus tracking optimally along grooves. |
| Noise / Precision | Wow & Flutter: ±0.19% (33), ±0.17% (45). Speed variance: ±0.60% (33), ±0.50% (45). Signal-to-noise: 67 dB. |
It comes fully loaded with useful extras: dustcover, felt mat, singles adapter, universal power supply, and a purpose-built semi-symmetrical RCA cable.
Who Is This For?
This deck won’t be for every vinyl lover — and that’s part of the appeal. Here’s who might find it especially compelling:
-
Collectors & Elvis fans: The visual flair and thematic design make it a standout in any system or display.
-
Audiophiles seeking standout gear: It’s more than a gimmick — the Elvis offers performance rooted in Pro-Ject’s T2 lineage.
-
People who love story and emotion with sound: This is gear that speaks to passion and personality, not just specs.
If your priority is sheer neutrality or the lowest possible noise floor, you’ll want to audition carefully — but if you value both character and competence, this is a deck that delivers.
