EAT European Audio Team Prelude turntable: An immersion into the world of high-end vinyl enjoyment
 

The EAT Prelude turntable stands for the highest audiophile quality, timeless design and innovative technology. As an entry into the world of high-end turntables, the Prelude offers an outstanding combination of precision, stability and a neutral sound.

Design and construction: timeless elegance meets technical sophistication:
The EAT Prelude not only impresses with its timeless design, but also with a solid construction based on years of expertise and technological innovations. The sturdy MDF housing, which is protected by eight layers of lacquer, not only gives the turntable a luxurious look, but also serves as effective protection against unwanted vibrations and resonances.
The heavy aluminum platter and the diamond-cut precision pulley ensure ultimate speed stability and precision in the belt drive. A DC power supply guarantees outstanding speed control - a crucial component for audiophile listening pleasure.

Technological sophistication: EAT sets standards:
EAT is known for maximizing the physical capabilities of turntables, and the Prelude is no exception. Careful compromises have been made to achieve the best possible price/performance ratio while maintaining the fundamental principles. The heavy platter, low tolerance polished stainless steel bearing and soft bronze bushing are just a few examples of the thoughtful material choices that minimize unwanted sound coloration and allow for quiet, smooth movement.
A notable feature of the Prelude is the freestanding motor, which does not transmit vibrations to the platter. This mass elasticity ensures a clear separation between motor and platter, which has a direct effect on the sound quality.

Tonearm and cartridge: perfect synergy for audiophile enjoyment:
The Prelude's carbon tonearm is not only lightweight and extremely rigid, but also resonance-free. A conscious decision against a heavy metal headshell enables ideal resonance frequencies in combination with the supplied Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge. The bearing block for the tonearm and the counterweight, which act as energy storage and resonance dampers, are unusual in this price range and once again underline EAT's commitment to the highest sound quality.

Outstanding sound quality: The Prelude as the perfect starting point for audiophile listening pleasure:
The Ortofon 2M Red cartridge was deliberately chosen as a partner for the Prelude and takes performance to a new level. Despite its low mass, the Prelude surprises with an astonishing freedom from coloration and exceptional dynamics. In contrast to lighter models, this turntable offers an impressive sound image without humming or disturbing vibrations.
All in all, the EAT Prelude turntable is the ideal introduction to the world of audiophile hi-fi systems. With its elegant piano lacquer finish, innovative technologies and high-quality components, it sets new standards in its price class. A must-have for every music lover who demands the highest standards of sound quality and design.

 
 

The success story of E.A.T. - European Audio Team

Under the leadership of Jozefina Lichtenegger, E.A.T. has established itself as a synonym for top audiophile quality and pioneering design. Known for its Czech-made turntables, the company became a pioneer in the high-end audio market with the introduction of the innovative Forte turntable. The revolutionary design of the Forte turntable was based on a massive platter that provided impressive stability thanks to a unique mass displacement beyond the edge of the platter. The integration of counter magnets reduced the contact pressure and further optimized the sound quality.

The close connection to Pro-Ject, where Heinz Lichtenegger acts as managing director, strengthens the expertise of E.A.T. The quality of Czech production is emphasized as a decisive factor for the unmistakable sound quality of the turntables.

E.A.T. has won a place in the hearts of audio enthusiasts with its authentic, warm sound and impressive three-dimensional sound image. Music lovers who have experienced the sound reproduction of an E.A.T. turntable remain loyal to this quality standard. In the world of audio technology, E.A.T. stands for the highest standards and unsurpassed sound quality.
