The T2 W intelligently enhances the highly acclaimed T1 formula while introducing an innovative Wi-Fi streaming technology. This groundbreaking feature enables seamless streaming to a wide range of modern net[1]work-enabled audio devices, including HiFi streamers, network-enabled home theater A/V receivers, and con[1]temporary streaming loudspeakers. Such versatility em[1]powers you to effortlessly integrate the T2 W into any living space, taking modern lifestyle concepts to an entirely new level.
Brandnew Network Streaming
We have added the latest Wi-Fi technology into the package, including all the latest WLAN standards and 2x2 MIMO allowing for theoretical speeds which are faster than modern, typical internet connections. And with MIMO we get maximum signal stability and protec[1]tion against package and data loss. All this is necessary, because with the T2 W you can either stream in our stan[1]dard compressed format – enabling maximum compati[1]bility – or in 24bit/48kHz lossless, for selected high-end streamers like our Stream Box S2 Ultra. All this is mul[1]tiroom capable as well, meaning you could send hund[1]reds of audio streams to as many receiving devices as you like, before the T2 W multi-core CPU or Wi-Fi band[1]width start to crackle down. The new „Pro-Ject Con[1]trol“ App offers a fast and intuitive user experience, while the Wi-Fi setup can be effortlessly accomplished through modern BLE functionality, simplifying the setup process.
Highest Quality Materials
The elegantly crafted CNC-machined plinth has been expanded in size to enhance stability and is available in striking finishes such as High Gloss Black, Satin White, or Walnut. It boasts a construction free of plastic components and meticulous manufacturing that eliminates any hollow spaces within, effectively preventing unwanted vibrations within the chassis. Furthermore, the glass platter in the T2 W has been made heavier and thicker compared to its predecessor, ensuring a zero-resonan[1]ce design that effectively eliminates the shortcomings associated with plastic or lightweight steel alternatives. Complementing these improvements, purpose-selected turntable feet effectively isolate the T2 W from ambient vibrations present in the vicinity of your hi-fi system.
New Tonearm & Anti-Skating
The tonearm on the T2 W has been improved with a longer arm tube. With its 9” effective length and stiff aluminium construction, this one-piece tonearm also features new updated low-friction bearings to accom[1]modate the increased length and diameter for absolute accuracy in use. Besides the clean and stylish looks, the integrated headshell won‘t cause any additional vibrations either, and is a big improvement over other detachable, screwed-on or glued-on headshells! The T2W also comes brand new with an adjustable spring-based anti-skating mechanism that optimizes performan[1]ce and extracts the utmost potential from your cartridge.
Speed Control, Motor and Drive
The motor and drive system in the T2 W remain identical to those found in the T1. The motor drives a belt system, connected to our newly designed sub-platter exclusive to the T-line. This sub-platter is mounted on an ultra-pre[1]cise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing. Where most alternative products may use un-regulated DC motors with wide speed fluc[1]tuations, the T2 W features our proven system of an electronically regulated, precision-speed AC motor. The T2 W also comes with electronic speed switching between 33 and 45 RPM. The result is a low-noise, stable drive system for the turntable.
Completely New Built-in Phono Stage
The T2 W has a high-quality dual stage split-passive MM phono preamp – this is the first time a Pro-Ject turntable has used an integrated phono-preamp of this level. We considered this a necessity in order to maximize the Wi-Fi performance. We wanted a truly stunning phono stage to match and give the T2 W unrivalled longevity and audio performance. Supplied with a high-value Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge, this is a true hi-fi playback system with no corners cut.
Semi-balanced phono cable
Like the T1, the T2 W is then finished with super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance phono cables, purpose-designed by Pro-Ject – not off-the shelf RCA cables. There is also a dust cover for extra protection and a felt mat to protect your records.
