Upea Pro-Ject -levysoitin The Classic EVO on uudistettu versio yhtiön 25-vuotisjuhlan kunniaksi tehdystä The Classic-soittimesta. Vakiona tanskalaisen äänirasiaosaajan MC Quintet Red-rasia.
Parannuskohteina mm. Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer-huippusoittimesta kopioitu rakenne ja toteutus soittimen sub-platter aluslautasessa. Nopeudenvaihto nyt helppokäyttöinen elektroninen. Äänivarren laakerointi edellistä versiota parempi.
The Classic EVO on soitin, jossa klassinen muotoilu kohtaa valmistajan uutta osaamista ja teknologiaa. Monikerroksinen MDF-runkorakenne yhdessä TPE-ripustuksen kanssa. Alumiininen, TPE-vaimennettu levylautanen. 9-tuumainen uusi äänivarsi hiilikuitua ja alumiinia. Japanilaiset Zircon-tarkkuuslaakerit. Hihnaveto. Säädettävät vaimennusjalat. Säädettävä azimuth- ja VTA-kulma. TPE-vaimennettu vastapaino. Äänirasiana tanskalaisen Ortofonin MC Quintet Red. Paino 10,5kg. Läpinäkyvä pölykansi vakiovarusteena. Mukana Connect It E -välikaapeli RCA-liittimin.
Viimeistelyt pähkinä ja eukalyptus (lähes musta).

The new classic Evo is based on the successful EISA Award winner The Classic and the experience we won designing and building our icon turntable the 175 VPO. The main improvement is the sub-platter, where we used the experience we gained from designing the Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer to add key changes to the Classic Evo, adding performance features that are rarely seen in this price category. For improved comfort, an electronic speed change was built in, which lets you switch from 33 to 45 rpm (and vice versa) with the push of a button.
Compared to the old Classic, we improved the subchassis; we tried to make it heavier and stiffer to reduce resonances.Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth is the target.
The radical new designed Classic tonearm is the result of 25 years of experience in mechanical construction. The tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of carbon and aluminium: carbon for stiffness and speed, alu for better damping. The bearing has been upgraded to the same type that is used on our Pro-Ject CC EVO tonearms. It facilitates frictionless vertical and horizontal movement, guaranteeing precise tracking across the entire duration of the record. The counterweight incorporates a TPE* damper which allows us to reduce the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%.
As typical for Pro-Ject and absolutely not standard at that price range we offer also azimuth and VTA adjustment to use a variety of cartridges.
