Pro‑Ject has made a name out of pairing hi‑fi engineering with rock‑and‑roll flair through its Artist Collection, and its latest release shouts “Rock You Like a Hurricane.” The limited‑edition Scorpions Turntable pays tribute to the legendary German band by wrapping Pro‑Ject’s well‑regarded T2 platform in Scorpions‑themed artwork while retaining all of the company’s audiophile credentials.

Under the hood, the Scorpions Turntable uses a CNC‑machined plinth free of plastic to maximize rigidity and vibration control. A 1.7‑kilogram glass platter spins on a stainless‑steel/brass main bearing and is driven by a belt‑drive system with an electronically controlled motor.

Listeners can switch between 33 and 45 RPM at the push of a button, and an adjustable spring‑based anti‑skate mechanism keeps the 9‑inch aluminum tonearm tracking true. The turntable offers a signal‑to‑noise ratio of 67 dB, comes with a felt mat and dustcover, and is hand‑assembled in Europe. The only real difference from the stock T2 is the bespoke plinth artwork honoring the Scorpions, which features the band’s logo and classic graphics.

Part of the appeal of Pro‑Ject’s Artist Collection is how it merges serious hi‑fi components with pop‑culture nostalgia; earlier releases celebrated bands like The Beatles and Queen. The Scorpions Turntable continues that tradition and is strictly limited, making it as much a display piece as a listening device.

For vinyl lovers, however, the Scorpions Turntable offers a chance to own a piece of functional rock memorabilia. Check out full specifications and ordering information on Pro‑Ject’s site or via authorized dealers before they’re gone.
