Pro-ject limited-edition Peanuts turntable
A charming collaboration for vinyl lovers and fans of the cherished comic strip has been announced as Pro-ject unveils a limited-edition turntable featuring the beloved Peanuts to mark his 75th anniversary.
On 2nd October, 195 a comic strip with an unlikely, round-headed hero was born. Now, three-quarters of a century later, Pro-ject Audio Systems is marking the 75th anniversary of Peanuts – the legendary and beloved cartoon world, where adults exist but are rarely seen or heard – created by Charles M. Schulz. The Pro-ject Peanuts Turntable blends the joy of vinyl with the unmistakable charm of Snoopy, Schroeder, and, of course, Good ol’ Charlie Brown.
This limited-edition model is based on Pro-Ject’s award-winning T1 BT turntable platform, featuring Peanuts-themed artwork featuring music-inspired moments from the iconic comic strip. It comes pre-fitted with an Ortofon OM 10 cartridge and includes both a built-in phono stage and a Bluetooth transmitter for wireless playback. Users can effortlessly stream their vinyl records to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, or connect the turntable to a traditional hi-fi system.
Handmade in Europe, the turntable features a heavy glass platter, a precision CNC-machined chassis, and its maker’s signature one-piece aluminium tonearm. Sitting on top of the platter is a unique Charlie Brown acrylic record plate — a line drawing in Schulz’s unmistakable style that perfectly captures the comic strip’s protagonist in classic pose. Whether used with wired speakers or paired via Bluetooth, this audiophile-grade record player is as eye-catching as it is musical.
“As big fans of Peanuts at Pro-ject Audio Systems, we wanted to celebrate this anniversary with a very special turntable,” said Heinz Lichtenegger, CEO and founder of Pro-ject Audio Systems. “We teamed up and designed the turntable artwork with music-related comic snippets and a special Charlie Brown acrylic record plate.”
The Pro-ject Peanuts Turntable will be available from authorised Pro-ject retailers in June and is priced at £579.00 / €599.00. Henley Audio distributes Pro-ject Audio Systems in the UK.
