"The Pro-Ject Signature 12 hoovers information out of the groove and turns it into something you feel, you can reach out and touch..."
Henley Says...
Signature turntables are the true flagships of Pro-Ject's range, bringing together the best of the best in terms of technologies, materials and components in order to create the pinnacle of Hi-Fi reproduction. Where other models may employ a select few means of keeping the signal pure in order to better suit the market, Signature turntable don't conform to such ways of thinking, making use of damping, mass-loading, magnetic decoupling and a flywheel mechanism (as well as many others), to ensure the most audiophile performance possible.
Listening to a Signature turntable do it's thing, is truly something special and I strongly encourage you to demo one if you can. Give us a call or contact your local dealer and enquire today - you won't regret it.
If you are interested in the Signature 12 and would like to know more, or are building a high-end system and would like some advice, reach out to one of our expert team today.
Pro-Ject Audio Systems are masters of the analogue format. Their extensive range of turntables covers every use-case and budget, and most are sold as complete solutions with a pick-up cartridge readily installed. However, when you get to higher end designs, there is often not a pre-installed cartridge - as the choice of pick-up becomes ever-more personal.
To help in this situation, Henley Audio, as distributors for Pro-Ject Audio Systems, Ortofon, Sumiko and E.A.T, can offer cartridge bundle and installation services that sees your high-end turntable sent ready to set-up and spin with your own choice of cartridge pre-installed.
Details of the cartridges we offer as part of this service can be found at the top of this page within 'promotions', but it covers premium Moving Coil options from various prestigious cartridge manufacturers. For latest info or to discuss your requirements, Contact Us or speak with your local Pro-Ject Reference Partner dealer. If you choose to purchase a bundle cartridge and have your dealer fit it, or fit it yourself, the cartridge will be supplied securely and safely with the turntable, but not with normal retail packaging.
All cartridges installed at Henley Audio will be treated with the utmost care and attention and fitted by a skilled and experienced member of our team. The turntable it's being installed on will also be set-up for a brief test, to confirm compatibility. All Henley Audio installed systems will have a certificate of authenticity enclosed, for added confidence when you get the turntable home. There is a £25.00 +VAT charge to have a Henley Audio engineer install your cartridge, and there may be a minor delay to despatching your turntable as a result.
Cartridges installed onto high-end turntables as part of a "bundle" deal are classified as BULK stock, which means they do not have full retail packaging and accessories. This is one of the ways we're able to offer such great discounts for you.
Yes, it is possible for this turntable to be upgraded with a true balanced connection to a supporting Pro-Ject phono stage.*
For turntables with an RCA output, you can purchase one of our RCA > MiniXLR or RCA > XLR cables, depending on the phono stage you are connecting to.
For turntables with a MiniXLR output, you can run a MiniXLR > MiniXLR or MiniXLR > XLR cable, depending on the phono stage you are connecting to.
For turntables with a 5pin TAC output, you can purchase a 5P > MiniXLR or 5P > XLR cable.
For more information on the True Balanced Connection concept click here.
*True Balanced Connections always require a Moving Coil cartridge to be installed.
Many of our turntables may have multiple compatible counterweights available. The counterweight you actually need is the one that allows you to balance your existing cartridge while ideally sitting near the tonearm bearing when fully installed.
If your counterweight sits right at the back of the tonearm, it runs the risk of introducing some micro-vibrations, so aiming for a counterweight where your cartridge weight is in the lower range of the supported weights is ideal.
To help you make the right decision, we've produced a comprehensive list of all our tonearms and counterweights.
