Οι μακροχρόνιοι συνεργάτες και φίλοι, Ortofon και Pro-Ject, επεκτείνουν μαζί τον εορτασμό των 100 χρόνων της Ortofon με μια αποκλειστική και ιδιαίτερα ξεχωριστή έκδοση: το πικάπ Ortofon Century.

A celebration of a longstanding and successful collaboration

Long-time partners and friends Ortofon and Pro-Ject together extend Ortofon’s centenarian celebrations with an exclusive and very special edition: the Ortofon Century Turntable.
This newly released turntable comes in an elegant piano black chassis. Together with the silver aluminium sub-chassis, this results in stunning aesthetics. Built on The Classic SB, it has a few tweaks which result in even better performance. Pro-Ject took the already incredible Classic SB and exchanged the sub-platter for a more sophisticated aluminium one.
The built-in electronic speed control means that changing from 33.3 to 45 rounds per minute is as easy as pushing a single button.

Sophisticated comfort

The Ortofon Century Turntable comes fully equipped with a built-in electronic speed control. Change from 33.3 to 45 RPM with the ease of pushing a single button. Even if you have a collection of 78 RPM shellac records, it has you covered. By manually placing the drive belt on the upper ring of the pulley and selecting the respective speed on the sub-chassis, it will easily play these records as well.

Ortofon iconic cartridge

The Ortofon Century Turntable is supplied with the limited edition Concorde Century HiFi cartridge. Having celebrated many of its previous anniversaries by launching innovative products, the centennial year called for the relaunch of the cartridge that is emblematic of Ortofon’s pioneering approach – the Concorde.
In 1979, the Concorde looked radically different from any cartridge that had been manufactured by Ortofon or its rivals. The design aimed to create an integrated cartridge and headshell that could be easily mounted without screws or wiring. Award-winning designer Jan Trägårdh conceived the unique look and received the Danish Industrial Design Award in 1979.
The Concorde’s success stemmed from Ortofon’s strong focus on product development, with brilliant engineers leading the Copenhagen-based lab.
The Concorde Century uses silver-plated copper wire and a Nude Fine Line diamond stylus. Its slim profile tracks even the highest frequencies, and its larger footprint reduces distortion and record wear.
The Concorde Century offers a full, relaxed, and homogenous sound with space, depth, and detail—an excellent choice for all types of music.
