Pro‑Ject Harley‑Davidson Turntable

Pro‑Ject Audio Systems and Harley‑Davidson revealed the Harley‑Davidson™ Turntable on 2026-09-09; it’s a limited special edition that pairs heavyweight engineering with motorcycle styling and an RRP of €2,590 (Pro‑Ject).

What it is

This two‑speed, belt‑drive turntable is built around a plinth milled in the silhouette of Harley‑Davidson’s Bar & Shield motif and finished in polished aluminium, stainless steel details and a genuine leather mat inspired by a bike saddle — all specified on Pro‑Ject’s product page (Pro‑Ject).

“mechanical soul” — Pro‑Ject

Why music fans should care

The unit prioritises mass and stability: a 300 mm heavy, "zero‑resonance" glass main platter sits on a diamond‑cut aluminium sub‑platter and is driven by an AC synchronous motor with electronic speed change for 33/45 rpm, which Pro‑Ject says improves playback accuracy and lowers resonances (Pro‑Ject).

That translates to practical gains for listeners who value tight timing and low wow & flutter over cosmetic flair: heavy platters and precision‑machined parts are genuine performance choices rather than mere style notes (Pro‑Ject; Henley Audio).

Hardware highlights

• 300 mm glass main platter and diamond‑cut aluminium sub‑platter (Pro‑Ject).
• 8.6" S‑shaped aluminium tonearm with SME‑style headshell; effective length 218.5 mm, arm mass 23.8 g (Pro‑Ject).
• Factory‑fitted Pick it PRO Moving Magnet cartridge and included leather mat, heavy Record Puck and phono cable (product and dealer specs; Henley Audio).
• Some press reports list the puck at roughly 915 g and show a USD equivalent price near $3,299 for other markets (Man of Many).

Practical details

Pro‑Ject lists power and size specs (15V DC supply, 543 × 124 × 437 mm) and describes the model as a limited special edition without publishing a unit count (Pro‑Ject). Initial trade coverage appeared in late August–early September 2026 (Audiomatome).

At €2,590 the Harley‑Davidson™ Turntable sits in the high‑end lifestyle‑audio bracket: it’s aimed at listeners who want a statement piece that also leans on proven mechanical choices for sound stability and groove fidelity.
