Pro-Ject Audio Systems Elemental Phono USB is a high quality, affordable turntable that comes complete with an Ortofon cartridge. It is a "plug'n'play" device, meaning that no adjustment of counterweight and antiskating is needed, because both are pre-adjusted. This makes it easy to set up and use, even for beginners. The Elemental Phono USB also features a central gravity mass point, made from artificial stone and placed directly underneath the platter bearing. This helps to absorb unwanted rumble and motor vibration, resulting in improved sound quality.
