What is FlexiRange?
In the pursuit of perfection, choices must be made. What is important, what is not needed. Pro-Ject, the world leader in audiophile turntables, has created a product line with six distinct configurations that lets you decide which features are important to you. Therefore there are no compromises in the quality of the components and you can choose the configuration that suits you best, paying only for the features you want.
All models of FlexiRange are based on the standard version of Essential III and share the same basic features. They come with a factory aligned Ortofon OM10 cartridge, which is mounted to a onepiece aluminum tonearm. The chassis and the platter are made from acoustically neutral MDF which guarantees high class performance.
We have built models with switchable line or phono output, electronic speed control or 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 we have even designed a model with Bluetooth streaming. There is a model for every living room...
