Pro-Ject Pick it PRO MM Cartridge

High-quality MM cartridge for audiophile demands

The Pro-Ject Pick it PRO is a moving magnet (MM) cartridge that has been specially developed for demanding listeners who value precise and high-quality sound reproduction. This cartridge combines excellent technical properties with a robust design, making it the ideal choice for audiophile entry-level systems and advanced music lovers. Manufactured in collaboration with the renowned Danish specialist Ortofon , the Pick it PRO sets new standards in terms of sound quality and compatibility.

Exclusive manufacturing and uncompromising quality

The Pro-Ject Pick it PRO is manufactured exclusively by Ortofon for Pro-Ject and is a prime example of the high level of craftsmanship that has been cultivated in Denmark for decades. Every detail of this pickup has been carefully developed to ensure maximum sound fidelity. The elliptical cut of the stylus diamond ensures precise reproduction of the record grooves and enables the finest musical details to be brought out.

The needle compliance of 12 µm/mN and the weight of 7.2 grams make the Pro-Ject Pick it PRO particularly versatile. It fits perfectly on medium and heavy tonearms and offers optimal performance, regardless of the specific requirements of your turntable.

Professional quality sound

With an output voltage of 4 mV and a wide frequency response from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the Pro-Ject Pick it PRO delivers impressively dynamic and detailed sound reproduction. The accurate channel separation and the low channel deviation at 1 kHz of just 1.5 dB help to ensure that the sound remains clean and unadulterated. This precision allows the listener to experience music as it was originally recorded - every detail, every nuance comes into its own.

Particularly noteworthy is the Pick it PRO 's excellent tracking ability at 315 Hz, which reaches 70 µm. This feature ensures that the pickup remains reliable and clear even in the most demanding passages, without distortion or loss of detail. The crosstalk attenuation of 22 dB at 1 kHz and 15 dB at 15 kHz also ensures that the channels remain cleanly separated, resulting in a wide and deep sound image.

Versatility and easy integration

The Pro-Ject Pick it PRO is designed to be easily integrated into various Hi-Fi systems. It is optimized for use with Phono MM inputs and offers a recommended tracking force of 20 mN (2.0 g), which ensures stable tracking. Thanks to the high DC resistance of 750 Ohm and an inductance of 450 mH, the cartridge shows a balanced behavior with different termination resistances and capacitances.

Another highlight of the Pick it PRO is its robust housing made of Lexan DMX, a special plastic that is both lightweight and extremely durable. With a height of 18 mm, the pickup can be easily mounted on most turntables without any adjustments being necessary.

Perfectly matched to heavy tonearms

A special feature of the Pro-Ject Pick it PRO is its compatibility with heavy tonearms. While many pickups are only suitable for light or medium-weight tonearms, the Pick it PRO shows its full performance even with heavier setups. This makes it the ideal choice for turntables that rely on stability and mass, such as the Pro-Ject Debut PRO . The combination of these two components leads to a particularly precise and detailed sound reproduction that will delight audiophile listeners.

Replaceable needle for long-lasting music enjoyment

To ensure long-term music enjoyment, Pro-Ject offers the Stylus Pick it PRO as a replacement needle insert. Replacing it is easy and inexpensive, which means you can use the Pick it PRO for many years without having to accept any loss of sound quality.
