All-in-one systems: The problem

There are countless all-in-one systems on the market, partly with built-in speakers. They have proven to be widely popular, though are absolutely not suitable for real HiFi fans. Due to the produced soundwaves the tonearm and cartridge are directly affected by vibrations at the tracking process. This results in disturbed and bad sound. Since the built-in speakers are very close to each other, it is impossible to create a true stereo triangle. Now the customer misses out on a real two-channel experience.

On top these models are made of bad build-quality and have very lightweight housings made of plastic. Exactly that should be avoided! For optimum decoupling a turntable has to be heavy and standing on a solid surface.

A better alternative would be a turntable with active speakers, unfortunately the distance between the speakers is limited and doesn‘t offer a real stereo experience.

Juke Box E HiFi Set: The solution

The only true solution to this request is our Juke Box E. It offers built-in pre and power-amplifier, which allows you to place the speakers far away from each other to minimize the possibility of acoustic feedback and to create a real analogue stereo experience.

To perfectly enjoy a stereo image it is necessary to respect the following rule:

If the speakers are two meters apart from each other, the listener should sit at a maximum position of three meters, but no further. For longer distances please use this 2:3 rule.

What Hi-Fi reviews the Juke Box E

UK, 04.2018:
Pro-Ject forces a little of the 21st century into a turntable, with winning results. Far less compromised than you might imagine, the Juke Box E makes a genuine case for itself. It’s also an all-in-one system that we can’t easily argue against in favour of separates. This level of functionality is difficult in the extreme to replicate using individual components at this sort of money.

Great entry-level concept with record player, phono preamplifier, integrated amplifier and Bluetooth receiver. The Juke Box E needs only speakers to get started. We would recommend it as a complete system for beginners.

Hi-fi news reviews the Juke Box E

UK, 03.2018:
As a step up from the supermarket specials, Pro-Ject’s Juke Box E makes a great deal of sense – indeed it sounds spectacularly better. Unlike the aforementioned ultra-cheap decks, it’s possible to put on a record and enjoy it more for what it is, than what it could be.
Verdict: To properly assess the Juke Box E, you have to ask, what is it‘s purpose in life, its raison d’être? To think of it as a cheerful stepping stone to real hi-fi – then you’ll have its measure. If it persuades just a few vinyl newcomers to explore further, it will have done its job.
