Pro-Ject The Classic Reference Turntable

Sub Chassis Construction

The sub chassis isolates the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth. The floating aluminium chassis sits on decoupling TPE damping balls.

High End Tonearm

The Classic Reference is equipped with our high end precision EVO 9 AS HG tonearm. It uses an inverted cardanic Swiss ABEC 7 quality bearing with 4 stainless steel tips. The bearing sits in a heavyweight aluminium housing, which provides the needed stability. The massive outer ring is open to avoid resonances. For the EVO AS tonearms, we use a special aluminium s-shape tube with the highest internal damping, paired with a SME-type headshell. The inner wiring is made of flexible high-purity copper which is an optimum conductor for the small phono signal.

True Balanced XLR output

The new The Classic Reference offers classic RCA and additional balanced XLR output sockets. The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interferences.
