About the Pro-Ject Essential III Phono FlexiRange - White - Record Player - Turntable:

What is FlexiRange?

In the pursuit of perfection, choices must always be made. What is important? And what is not? Or less? Pro-Ject has developed a product line with six different configurations so that you can choose what is important to you. So there are no compromises made in terms of quality of the components used, on the other hand you only pay for the features / options you really want. All FlexiRange models are based on the standard version of Essential III and thus have the same basic functions. They are equipped with a factory-aligned Ortofon OM10 cartridge mounted on a one-piece aluminum tonearm. The chassis and turntable are made of acoustically neutral MDF which guarantees strong performance.

Pro-Ject has built into the FlexiRange models with switchable line or phono output, electronic speed controls, and even high-resolution USB LP ripping. There is also a version with a digital output to send ones and zeros to an external D/A converter or soundbar, and there is a model with Bluetooth streaming.

So in the Pro-Ject FlexiRange there is a suitable turntable for every living room!

Essential III Phono

The Essential III Phono has all the benefits of the regular Essential III but also features line-level output. This model is easy to install on any hi-fi system and can be connected to practically any pre-existing amplifier in your living or listening room.
