Make room for a new strange collab as Fred Perry and Pro-Ject, come together to build a rather unique vinyl deck. This beautiful turntable is the lovechild of Pro-Ject’s existing Essential III and Debut Carbon EVO players and Fred Perry’s design flair.
The clothing brand contributes to the slick, stylish, minimalistic deck by offering three colour options based on original Perry-wear combinations – Maroon/White/Ice, White/Ice/Navy and Black/Champagne. The brand’s iconic laurel wreath sits atop the acrylic platter mat, an ode to the ex-tennis player’s personal fashion sense.
When it comes to the mechanism itself, the premium turntable packs on a built-in adjustable phono pre-amp, pre-set aluminium tonearm, and pre-installed Ortofon OM 10 cartridge. The stylus is a stunning elliptical diamond stylus. The turntable allows you to adjust the speed between 33 and 45RPM using the external belt drive and there is a clear plastic cover included, to keep the device safe. You can expect Pro-Ject’s signature sound for tunes as great as the looks.
This luxury collab dubbed the ‘Fred Perry x Pro-Ject’ will retail for about £450 (about ₹45,000). It is currently only available in Europe so you may need to add it to your holiday shopping list if you are keen on it. It’s available to order directly from the Fred Perry website too.
