Το νέο Classic Evo βασίζεται στο επιτυχημένο Pro-Ject The Classic, νικητή του βραβείου EISA Award. Η βασική βελτίωση είναι ο υποδίσκος (sub-platter), όπου αξιοποιήσαμε την εμπειρία που αποκτήσαμε από τον σχεδιασμό του 175 – Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer για να ενσωματώσουμε σημαντικές αλλαγές στο Classic Evo. Η κατασκευή του κύριου ρουλεμάν που χρησιμοποιούμε αποτελεί ένα σύστημα παρόμοιο με αυτό του Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer.

The Classic meets the 175 VPO to melt design-ideas

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 heavy aluminium main platter construction utilises advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) for optimising resonance behaviour.

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 we offer also azimuth and VTA adjustment to use a variety of cartridges.

We supply as standard the Pick it 2M Silver cartridge. As the tonearm offers excellent damping and flexibility as well, its effective mass can be called middle heavy, so it is a very good partner for MC cartridges.
