Pro-Ject Dark Side of the Moon Turntable
Special edition turntable inspired by the infamous 'The Dark Side of the Moon' album. Designed in line with the enigmatic prism refracting a beam of light into a rainbow of bright colours, this turntable has the unique ability to literally brighten up any room. Handmade with care in Europe, this Artist series deck was crafted with the care and devotion required for such a tribute.
THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
The Dark Side of the Moon Turntable ingeniously features an LED-backlit rainbow – with a dimming function – to deliver those iconic visuals as your vinyl turns. Even the beam of white light makes an appearance, represented by the design’s extended on/off lever. The result is an unmistakable homage to the vinyl sleeve that became almost as famous as its musical contents.
THE BUILD AND FINISH
The Dark Side of the Moon artwork-inspired design continues throughout the turntable, at all times expressed through only high-end componentry. The three-cornered platter mirrors the album’s triangular dispersive prism, and a solid aluminium sub-platter sits in bronze bushing and supports the 10mm heavy glass structure. Like the album, this deck backs up its visuals with exceptional quality material.
DRIVE SYSTEM
The precision belt-drive turntable enables two speeds, 33 and 45 rpm, with an electronic speed control, and Pro-Ject supplies a seven-inch single adapter for owners of, say, Money or Us And Them.
TONEARM AND CARTRIDGE
As well as unique visuals, owners of The Dark Side of the Moon turntable get new technical workings, including the 8.6-inch acrylic and black aluminium low resonance tonearm, which Pro-Ject equips with spring anti-skating. The deck also employs a Pick it PRO Special Edition cartridge specifically tuned to the Dark Side of the Moon Turntable, meaning users can experience the best performance levels within just a few moments of unboxing their new purchase.
