Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB + Sonos Era 300 + Sonos Line-In Adapter

Pro-Ject T1: A New Generation of Turntable

The T1 from Pro-Ject Audio Systems is the first T-Line turntable, aiming to deliver true high-fidelity sound on a limited budget. Boasting premium materials, stylish ae- sthetics and a rich, lively sound, the extensive develop- ment process has ensured that there has been no com- promise in the sound performance when achieving such an affordable price.

High-Quality Construction and Design Features of the T1 Turntable

The stylish CNC-machined plinth, available in High Gloss Black, Satin White or Walnut finish, features no plastic parts and is carefully manufactured to ensure there are no hollow spaces inside, therefore avoiding unwanted vi- brations within the chassis.

Superb build-quality, stylish looks and audiophile sound Precision CNC‘d plinth and heavy zero-resonance glass platter

Carrying this philosophy through the design, the glass platter is also a heavy, zero-resonance design – again avoiding the flaws of plastic or lightweight steel alterna- tives. Finally, the purpose-chosen turntable feet also do a good job of isolating the T1 from ambient vibrations around your hi-fi system.

Pushing Audiophile Design to a new Affordable Level

In the T1, the motor drives a belt-system, attached to a newly designed sub-platter, which is mounted into an ul- tra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing – just like our coveted Essential III turntables.

Ultra-precise motor and sub-platter design Lowest noise with immaculate speed stability

Alongside the chosen motor system, the T1 is therefore able to ensure a smooth, anti-resonant rotational plat- form for the tonearm and cartridge to ride across.

One-piece aluminium tonearm
Robust and stiff construction for pure sound fidelity

The tonearm on the T1 is a new model, based on previous Pro-Ject designs. With its straight, 8.6” effective length and stiff aluminium construction, this one-piece tonearm also features low-friction bearings for absolute accuracy in use. Besides the clean and stylish looks, the integra- ted headshell won‘t cause any additional vibrations eit- her, and is a big improvement over other detachable, screwed-on or glued-on headshells!

Supplied with an Ortofon OM 5E Moving Magnet cartridge - featuring an elliptical diamond stylus tip; this is a true hi-fi playback system with no corners cut.

The T1 is then finished with super shielded, semi-sym- metrical, low-capacitance phono cables, purpose-desi- gned by Pro-Ject – not off-the shelf RCA cables. There is also a dust cover for extra protection and a felt mat to protect your records.

The T1 is a new affordable marvel. Still made in Europe by a turntable factory with decades of experience, it is a true hi-fi turntable that looks and sounds sublime.

"With its huge scale of engaging sound, wide range of features and seamless Sonos experience, the Era range are impressive speakers that can do it all"

Feel sound all around

The Era 300 is rumoured to be Sonos' best-sounding speaker to date, or at least positioned as such. Its army of six drivers is designed to fire in all directions and can create a truly room-filling sound. It's said to be a similar size to the Sonos Five, but with twice as much RAM as any Sonos speaker before it and eight times more flash memory. 

Take your spatial audio experience above and beyond

Featuring six optimally positioned drivers all around the front, sides, and top to support Dolby Atmos Music, the breakthrough acoustic design projects sound from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, immersing you in every dimension of the song. During a demo at Sonos headquarters, the Era 300 sounded impressive with songs mixed for spatial sound as well as regular stereo tracks. And as part of the Atmos home theater system, it competes with setups with separate wired audio/video receivers and speakers.

Make the whole room the sweet spot

No matter where you are or what you play, the listening experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Custom waveguides disperse sound right, left, forward, and above, creating a sensationally spacious stereo soundstage you can enjoy all around the room.

Surround sound so real it’s surreal

Experience mind-bending multichannel surround sound when you pair two speakers with Sonos Arc or Beam (Gen 2). Supercharged by Dolby Atmos, the lateral and overhead channels in each product create an allencompassing soundstage to envelop you in the story.

Tunes itself for you

With a tap in the Sonos app, Trueplay™ tuning technology analyzes the unique acoustics of your space and optimizes the speaker’s EQ. So all your content sounds just the way it should. The built-in microphone will allow the Era 300 to adjust playback to its surroundings, while also allowing voice control via the company's voice assistant.

Ready to go

The Era 300’s larger size allows it to house more drivers and amps than the Era 100. Era 300 is compatible with Sonos Radio, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and Pandora. The Era 100/300 works primarily over Wi-Fi, although there's also Bluetooth onboard now, and if you buy a Sonos Line-In adapter you can connect the old-skool wired kit to the USB-C port.

Sonos Line-In 3.5mm to USB-C Adapter

Sonos have worked hard to ensure users now have a more affordable method of adding external audio devices to their ecosystem. Now that the Sonos Era 100 & Era 300 stereo speakers feature a USB-C port, you can now connect a CD Player, Turntable and more with an aux cable (not included) and the Sonos Line-In Adapter. Once connected, you can then stream to any other Sonos speakers on your WiFi network and enjoy exceptional audio throughout your entire home.
