Pro-Ject reveals vertical, wall-mountable turntable concept

The turntable can be placed horizontally, vertically or even on the wall, all the while still capable of spinning your vinyl, allowing it to be as much a work of art as a record player.

The VTE is based on the Pro-Ject Elemental turntable, which is designed to be a basic plug and play design. A belt-drive deck, it has had the tracking force and anti-skate adjusted so that it can work against gravity when placed vertically. It comes fitted with an aluminium tonearm and Ortofon OM53 cartridge.

Pro-Ject has also made a second version of the VTE that’s fitted with a phono pre-amp and Bluetooth transmitter for playing records through wireless speakers and Bluetooth connected hi-fi systems.

But being the wonderful English guy he is, he helps out with content across a number of Future sites, including What Hi-Fi?. It wouldn't be his first exposure to the world of all things hi-fi and home cinema, as his first role in technology journalism was with What Hi-Fi? in the UK. Clearly he pined to return after making the move to Australia and the team have welcomed him back with arms wide open.
