A Tribute Worthy of the King

Pro-Ject, the Austrian hi-fi brand famous for its Artist Series turntables, has a long tradition of honoring music legends. Over the years, it’s celebrated icons like Metallica, The Beatles, and AC/DC with bespoke, collectible editions.

Now, it’s time for the King of Rock and Roll to take center stage.

To mark what would have been Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday, the brand has unveiled the Elvis Turntable — a show-stopping addition to its Artist Series that blends audiophile performance with pure rock ‘n’ roll spectacle.

A Stage Light Reimagined

You’ve likely never seen a turntable quite like this.

The Elvis Turntable features a CNC-machined plinth embedded with red LED lights that spell out “ELVIS” in bold, capital letters. The design draws direct inspiration from the iconic illuminated stage logo that lit up behind Presley during his legendary 1968 NBC “Comeback Special.”

According to Pro-Ject, the design aims to capture “the bold stage presence and electrifying atmosphere of one of his most unforgettable performances.”

In low light, the result is mesmerizing — a glowing maze of crimson light surrounding the platter and tonearm, turning your hi-fi setup into a performance of its own.

Audiophile Performance Beneath the Flash

While its visuals steal the show, this is still a serious audiophile turntable.

Underneath the LED spectacle lies the heart of Pro-Ject’s acclaimed T2 platform, a belt-drive system designed for precision playback. The deck comes equipped with:

A 9-inch aluminum tonearm
A high-mass acrylic platter
A factory-fitted Sumiko Rainier cartridge

It supports 33⅓ and 45 RPM playback, offering smooth operation and impressive stability for its class.

However, unlike some other T2 variants, this model does not include a built-in phono preamplifier or Wi-Fi streaming, staying true to a pure, analog experience for traditionalists.

For True Elvis Fans Only

Let’s be clear — this isn’t a minimalist turntable meant to blend quietly into your living space.

Like the man himself, the Elvis Turntable is designed to command attention. It’s a centerpiece for those who want their hi-fi setup to echo Las Vegas lights and Memphis swagger.

At the time of release, it’s unclear whether the LEDs can be turned off, but given Pro-Ject’s attention to detail, it’s likely that they can dim when the music starts.

Price and Availability

There’s one catch — this stunning edition isn’t being sold directly by Pro-Ject.Instead, it’s available exclusively through UK distributor Henley Audio, which may make it challenging for U.S. fans to get their hands on one.

Price: £1,199 (approximately $1,600 USD)
Availability: Henley Audio (UK only)
Base Model: Pro-Ject T2 (standard version priced at $650)

Final Word

With its glowing red tribute to Elvis Presley’s stage legacy, the Pro-Ject Elvis Turntable isn’t just another collector’s item — it’s a love letter to performance itself.

Bold, nostalgic, and unapologetically over the top, it’s a fitting reminder that in both music and design, the King still knows how to make an entrance.
