    📌 LAB POINTS

    • automatic operation: 1) switch activates motor and tonearm moves onto record 2) tonearm returns at the end of the side and shuts off motor 3) also works manually
    • 🆕 includes pre-adjusted Ortofon OM10 cartridge ($79 on its own) touted for its price-performance ratio & upgradeable stylus line
    • high quality built-in switchable phono preamp (switch is accessible through the platter)
    • upgraded drive system for more stable rotation during playback
    • 8.3" ultra-light aluminum tonearm is optimized for automatic play; factory pre-adjusted tracking force and anti-skating make the A1.2 plug & play ready within a few seconds; new carbon-fiber reinforced headshell
    • 33 / 45 speed switch, note: 45 rpm records in 12" & 10" format must be started manually, as the automatic 45 rpm preset is for 7" singles
    • automatics completely disengaged & decoupled during playback, not influencing or degrading sound quality at all

    "When Pro-Ject took over the German factory responsible for the classic automatic hifi turntable, they immediately improved the base model with the Automat A1.  Over a year of development later, they've introduced the A1.2 with improved drive system & platter." - TTL
