The Acryl It E is a direct replacement acrylic platter designed for Pro-Ject's E series turntables, including the Elemental, Primary E and Essential III E. It is a straightforward, effective upgrade that addresses one of the most significant limitations of entry-level turntable design: the standard MDF platter.
Why Acrylic?
Acrylic has long been favoured in higher-end turntable design for its acoustic properties. Unlike MDF, acrylic is acoustically inert and shares a similar resonant frequency to vinyl itself, which means the record and platter behave more sympathetically when in contact. The result is a noticeably more fluid, controlled presentation with improved detail retrieval and a quieter noise floor. The Acryl It E features a satinised acrylic surface that provides consistent contact with the record without the need for a felt mat.
Construction
The platter measures 300 mm in diameter and 18 mm in height, matching the bearing dimensions of the E series platform. It weighs 1.2 kg, adding useful mass over the original platter to improve rotational stability. The precision-turned acrylic disc slots directly onto the existing spindle bearing, requiring no tools or modifications.
Compatibility
The Acryl It E is compatible with the Pro-Ject Elemental, Primary E and Essential III E turntables. It is not compatible with Pro-Ject's A series or other platform families.
