The Pro-Ject Hard Rock is a high-performance turntable designed to deliver exceptional sound quality. Its name is a nod to the material used in its platter - a heavy, MDF (Medium-density fiberboard) platter that provides low resonance and minimizes unwanted noise.The Hard Rock features a proven, low-noise AC synchronous motor, a one-piece carbon-fiber tonearm, and a factory-aligned, balanced PO loudness cartridge. The turntable is also compatible with Pro-Ject's Speed Box upgrade, which allows the user to quickly switch between 33 1/3 and 78 RPM playback speeds without any complicated setup.The Hard Rock's plinth is made from thick, high-quality MDF, and its sub-platter and main platter both feature a durable rubber mat. It also has a built-in phono preamp, making it a great choice for users who connect their turntable directly to amplifiers or receivers without a separate phono preamp in their audio system.Overall, the Pro-Ject Hard Rock is an excellent choice for audiophiles looking for a high-performance turntable with modern features and a classic, stylish design.
