EVO CC Tonearms

EVO 9 CC
The Evolution range of tonearms from Pro-Ject Audio Systems are some of the most coveted tonearms on the market. Available in 9", 10" and 12" lengths, the Evolution models offer flexibility, reliability and great sound for a competitive price.

The 9CC Evolution is based around a large, conical carbon fibre arm tube with integrated headshell. The one-piece design allows for minimal resonance, with the conical shape avoiding the potential for standing wave reflections. The arm tube is further designed to draw resonances away from the cartridge and into the heavy metal block, which surrounds the gimble bearing. This simple but efficient design protects the musical signal from any unwanted mechanical interference.

The gimble bearing assembly uses four ABEC7 specification ball-races, for optimal flexibility and minimal resistance. The result is a tonearm that can smoothly trace the record groove.

Behind the bearing assembly, the counterweight rod is lowered to reduce the force exerted on a cartidge during the playback of warped records, which can produce un-wanted dynamic 'Wow'. The counterweight itself is lined with a Thermo-Plastic Elastomer (TPE) compound, to eliminate resonances at the back of the tonearm. 

For accurate set-up of the attached cartridge, VTA and azimuth adjustment are easily accessible on the tonearm. 

The 9CC Evolution is a true high-end tonearm, and is capable of being partnered with some very high-end turntables. Its solid, reliable build combines with audiophile-grade features to provide a complete tonearm solution.

Products that are Awaiting Stock are items that we would normally carry on stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse, but are currently unavailable. Chances are there is already more on the way, but if you would like a more accurate availability status please feel free to Contact Us.

Urgent order items are products that we do not normally carry on stock, but they are typically held on stock by our European suppliers. Depending on availability, we will seek to order these products quickly, when we have an enquiry. They can therefore be subject to quicker availability times than "Special Order" products.

Special Order items are those that are most often built to order. For these items, we tend to experience longer lead times as we negotiate them into the production line with our suppliers.

Options:

The EVO CC Tonearms

The all-new EVO CC tonearm range features the latest and greatest technologies founded by Pro-Ject. Over years and years of development and testing, these tonearms are a perfect upgrade for your turntable. Featuring new finishes and many additional improvements, such as the high mass flange design, which is crucial to fix the tonearm securely to the turntable, and a massive tonearm holder which reduces the overall resonances of the whole tonearm.

The Design

The EVO CC range comes fully equipped with a full carbon fibre tonearm tube with conical shape ensuring that resonances are eliminated and that the moving mass of the tonearm is reduced. Ultra-low friction ball bearings for perfect cantering and lowest possibly bearing play. Not forgetting, the gravitational anti-skating system, which ensures that anti-skating force is accurate at the inner and outer grooves.

Furthermore, the EVO CC is internally wired with high-quality copper cabling and terminates into a 5-PIN DIN tonearm cable connector. The tonearm rests in a heavy CNC-machined tonearm holder when not in use, and is secured by a strong magnet locking system.

EVO Technology

The new EVO range is a big comprehensive family allowing you to find a tonearm with the effective mass and choice of materials that suits your cartridge the most. Offering the lightest options with a pure carbon tonearm tube to the slightly heavier carbon-aluminium sandwich constructions up to S-shape aluminium tonearms with SME-headshells allowing for fine-tuning the weight even more, by experimenting with different headshell materials.

The EVO CC is supplied with two damped aluminium counterweights in the box, suiting most cartridge weights. Additional counterweights are available.

Available in 9“, 10“ and 12“ lengths, and Premium versions with stainless steel bearing block, silver tonearm wiring, and improved bearing block and counterweight design, this is the most complete tonearm range on the market right now.

  • The tonearm is one of the most crucial parts of a turntable, allowing the cartridge to navigate the record grooves and only passing through musical information without noise or degradation. Therefore, technically correct designs are essential, and the latest 2023 EVO range achieves this with a host of industry-leading technologies and expert-engineering.

    Alongside this new range, we are offering you, the customer, the ability to take advantage of this new range with the EVO Tonearm Upgrade Program. Whether at the point of purchase or upgrading your existing tonearm, you could make a saving and enjoy a brand-new tonearm.
