Pro-Ject Signature 12.2 Turntable - Luxury High-End Turntable Technology​

Pro-Ject Signature 12.2 replaces its iconic predecessor, the Signature 12, with a multitude of enhancements, making it a true reference product in the world of high-end turntables. While maintaining key features like the flywheel motor system and platter, this upgraded model reimagines the chassis, tonearm, and feet for improved performance and aesthetics.

Elevating Turntable Technology to the Highest Level

The Signature 12.2 exemplifies the pinnacle of turntable engineering with its luxury finish and use of exclusive materials. Handcrafted by Pro-Ject's most skilled artisans, the process involves meticulous attention to detail. Each component goes through a rigorous four-step QC process, including mechanical, electrical, running, and listening tests, ensuring flawless quality. This hand-polishing and precision assembly take nearly two days to complete, resulting in a masterpiece of craftsmanship and performance.

What Makes the Signature 12.2 Stand Out?

- New 3-Point Pivot Tonearm Bearing Construction[/b]: This innovative design offers enhanced tracking and precision playback.
- Modified Counterweight System: Achieve finer adjustments for better balance and tracking force.
- Full Aluminium Motor Block: The motor block, made entirely of aluminum, helps to further dampen vibrations, contributing to stable, high-fidelity audio.
- Spring-Loaded Feet: Adjustable from the top of the chassis, these feet provide superior decoupling, reducing unwanted vibrations and ensuring a stable playing surface.
- Magnetically Decoupled Platter: The platter is supported by a magnetic system to minimize friction and bearing noise, ensuring ultra-silent rotation.

A Closer Look at the Signature 12.2 Features

Precision Engineering Meets Aesthetic Luxury
The MDF chassis of the Signature 12.2 is hand-painted with 10 layers and polished to achieve a stunning, high-gloss piano-black finish. Rounded edges on the chassis minimize standing waves, while the absence of hollow spaces reduces resonance, creating a purer sound.

Motor Block & Flywheel for Stable Playback
The flywheel belt drive system delivers vibration-free operation, maintaining accurate and stable speeds. The motor block, crafted from polished aluminum, not only serves a functional role in damping vibrations but also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the turntable.

Advanced Tonearm Design
The S-shaped tonearm features Pro-Ject's latest advancements, including a new counterweight system with finer adjustments and an adaptive anti-skating mechanism. This ensures that the anti-skating force is perfectly aligned with the grooves of your vinyl, resulting in a superior listening experience.

Magnetically Decoupled Heavyweight Platter
The Signature 12.2's platter, weighing in at 10.5kg, is precision-machined from aluminum and layered with recycled vinyl, creating a resonance-free playing surface. The platter’s magnetic decoupling further relieves strain on the main bearing, ensuring silent operation.

True Balanced Audio for Superior Sound Quality

One of the Signature 12.2's standout features is its True Balanced Connection capability. Equipped with a 5-pin DIN output, the turntable allows for balanced audio transmission, reducing noise and offering higher gain. Pro-Ject's True Balanced cable range complements this feature, providing the perfect connection to a balanced-compatible phono stage for audiophiles seeking the highest sound fidelity.

Conclusion: A True Reference Turntable
The Pro-Ject Signature 12.2 represents the culmination of Pro-Ject’s decades of turntable innovation. From its carefully crafted design to its cutting-edge technology, this turntable sets a new benchmark for audiophile-grade sound. Whether you’re drawn to its bold aesthetics, luxurious finishes, or impeccable audio performance, the Signature 12.2 is the ultimate choice for those who demand the best in analog audio.
