The Peanuts Turntable is a limited-edition belt-drive record player from Pro-Ject Audio Systems, created in collaboration with Peanuts Worldwide to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Charles M. Schulz's beloved comic strip. Launched in 2025, it combines the proven engineering of Pro-Ject's entry-level T1 BT platform with a bespoke design featuring Peanuts comic strip artwork across the plinth and a specially printed Charlie Brown acrylic record mat.
75th Anniversary Design
On 2 October 1950, Charles M. Schulz introduced Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang to the world. To mark 75 years of that iconic creation, Pro-Ject and Peanuts Worldwide have collaborated on a turntable that is as much a collector's piece as it is a serious vinyl replay machine. The entire plinth surface is printed with music-related Peanuts comic strip panels in white on black, and the included Charlie Brown acrylic platter mat transforms the record into Snoopy's round-headed companion.
Engineering Foundation
Beneath the artwork lies the same core engineering that makes the T1 BT a respected entry-level turntable. A belt-drive system connects the motor to a specially designed sub-platter, which sits in an ultra-precise main bearing with a tolerance of 0.001 mm using a hardened steel axle and brass bushing. The 8 mm heavy blasted-glass main platter provides a zero-resonance playing surface.
Tonearm and Cartridge
The 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm is lightweight and well-damped, and arrives with an Ortofon OM 10 MM cartridge pre-mounted and pre-adjusted to a tracking force of 17.5 mN. The cartridge and tonearm combination keeps setup straightforward, with the counterweight pre-configured for cartridges between 5 and 10 grams.
Connectivity
The Peanuts Turntable provides three output options. Alongside the standard phono output for use with an external phono stage or phono-equipped amplifier, a switchable built-in phono stage feeds the dedicated line-level RCA outputs, enabling connection directly to any amplifier input. Bluetooth is also built in, allowing wireless connection to compatible Bluetooth speakers or headphones. The supplied RCA phono/line cable and 110 to 240 V universal power supply are included in the box alongside a dustcover and felt mat.
