- After last May's High End Munich show, Pro-Ject founder and CEO Heinz Lichtenegger invited international distributors attending the show to visit the company's brand new high-tech "green" logistics center outside of Vienna. They also toured the original Pro-Ject factory in Livotel, Czech Republic as well as the brand new factory down the road. AnalogPlanet editor Michael Fremer was invited to tag along.
As you'll see in the video, the old factory, which will remain open, is overcrowded and the new factory was needed if the company was to fulfill orders, which currently exceeds annually, 150,000 turntables.
The company currently runs 3 shifts a day, 7 days a week to keep up with turntable demand and is among if not the largest employer in Livotel. It's an incredible success story that began with a homely little turntable spotted for sale in a gas station.
You can't make up this stuff!

Thank you for posting, very interesting especially as I have a pro-ject.
Thanks for this video! Very interesting!
Crazy how many people work in this factory. Good to see that you don't need to manufacture in China and can still produce affordable equipment. Will definitely consider a higher end Pro-Ject turntable when upgrading my system in the future.
Vinyl revival. Just amazing
Was nice to see where my XTension 10 was made
Because of your video, i ordered a beautifull debut recordmaster 11.
Amazing video. Thank you for the sneak peak at the 👅 turntable.
Interesting to see how various companies go about building their products. Thanks for going to the trouble. I only wish the camera wasn't rattling as much as it does.
Thank you, this was very interesting, and who would have thought that I would get to see where my turntable was produced.
love this tour, but please get a video stabilizer and improve mics please so I can finish it without a head eiche.
Totally dedicated to your products. Well done.
V Cool video. Great to see the factory. I have a Pro-Ject Turntable.
Very cool! I like being able to see step by step what goes into making these turntables! I'm only 23 and I believe that vinyl is superior to digital format. Being new to vinyl I purchased an Audio Technica LP-60 (Not a smart first choice because of the tracking force, still better than crosley though! Haha) and even being a cheap $99 table I could tell a difference in sound quality! I just ordered a Project Debut III for $299 and I'm sure I won't be disipointed! Should go well with my fluance signature speakers. Thank you for taking the time to make all of your videos and giving me an insight into the vinyl community.
I also purchased an ATLP60, and agree. Slightly better than a crossley, but inferior to everything else.
i wish to have a job in turntable brand factory.
i'll could be happier each everyday.
28:25 Those cables look so good.
Thank you for the tour. You have the best "job" in the world.
Oh I'm just real sure it was those pretty counterweights that got you excited at the end there Michael {?} Great video really interesting . thank You
Thanks Michael I really enjoy seeing the seeing the various aspects of turntable production I never knew there was so many different parts. However if OSHA was to visit the Pro-ject machine and tooling department they would go nuts. The lady on the metal lathe with no safety glasses on, Wow!
Thanks. Factory tours are always interesting.
Love my T1
Funny how Tesla NC 450 and Pro-Ject turntables look so similar.
Bought a turntable today, nice to see some of the men and women that made it.
Really enjoyed this. Thank you very much for sharing. I am now going to go and spin a record on my Pro-ject The Classic turntable in rosenut.
New found respect for Pro-Ject. Heinz “rolling the dice” on the future of analog with the new investment. He’s got grandes bolas, for sure!
yes ...
Thanks, enjoyed the vid, keep them coming.
Thanks for the tour. it's always nice to see factory footage when trying to make a buying decision.
thank you for the great work
Great clip and nice to see my Rosenut Classic in production
Pro-Ject 턴테이블을 유럽에서 제조해서 좋은 인상을 받았습니다.
thx 4 the vid! nice pollock ref! lol I wonder how many people know who he is. sad the state of the world today!!! :-(
WOW! I'm speechless!
Never thought Project would get this big so quickly. I had an original Debut which was always buzzing and I threw it when the motor started knocking, Looks like Pro-Ject are now in a different league could end up being dominant in future, look out Rega. Great video.
The Old Git From 58. : I don't think Rega needs to be very worried. Rega's engineering & quality control seems quite a step up from this. Neither factory uses widows, natural light, art, & noise suppression. Hence , they both seem like crappy places to work.
I love the "sidetrack" tracking of the forklift.
I'm super happy with my Pro-Ject Phono Box RS, combined with a Rega P7 and an Audio-Technica AT33PGT/2 MC cartridge. It's not that expensive, but enough efficient for a beautiful music experience.
si aleman yo mencione a indiana jones de niño confia en mi yes...
Impressive, you can see why Rega has recently upgraded its most popular models without a significant price increase.
I just got the pro ject carbon
Litovel not Livotel, Czech Republic ;)
Not a big deal ;) I know. Just thought I'd point it out. Cheers. BTW, love your vids and articles.
It's Litovel the city and originally Tesla Litovel the factory which manufactured great turntables even in socialist Czechoslovakia for quite a long time and then served as a great base of expertise and craftmanship for future expansion of Pro-ject.
Pure analog ecstasy! What's that clicking sound mid way through the video Michael?
spannend
Filmed in the 21st century - or was it the 1940s? Ear & eye protection for factory machinists? Why would you invest in such things? Did I really see a man hand-filing screw holes? Such nostalgia for years gone by.
Invest in a 1 dollar windscreen yah!!
Project wants to prepare for the future? I live in LIC. There are no record shops here within 3 miles. Spare me.
Das ist gut, ja, wunderbar, ja, We are good, ja, best arkitekt, ja, ja, ja
I'd love to work there project turntable discount 😀
Huge new Pro-ject prototype platter at 31:49
Hello Friends ,which one of these two would you recommend -rega planar 1 or pro-ject essential 3 A?Please help and stay tuned!
Only in Czech do you have hot AF women building turntables. I'm getting on a plane
Looks like a place that can be converted to a weapons factory. Soviet style. Thanks.
Kinda sad place. Rega seems happier. And better TT's too.
Pro Ject begun as Rega mimicking, clone TT, at least trying... Personally I hate Pro-Ject and have a very bad experience with Debut bs. Unbalanced plate, too rigid tonearm etc
WOW! Check out those pretty young ladies on the factory floor, I had to take a cold shower after viewing this video.
no face shelds
The "vinyl resurgence" is definitely for real! People are starting to see through the lies they told the public about "digital audio" being superior! Take the hype messages they use to put on the back of CD'S ( and still do ) that reads "the music on this compact digital disc was originally recorded on "analog" equipment, we have attempted as closely as possible to preserve the sound of the original recording, because of its high resolution ( yeah, right ) however, the compact disc can reveal limitations of the source tape"! Is it me, or are they actually trying to make you believe a CD is better than the master reel to reel tape??what a crock of Shit! People bought into it because it was quiet during playback! Ironically because of the "loudness wars" of the digital formats people started to see! And the "so called" sound engineers don't measure below the"noise floor" and claim you can't hear the high level of sound because of noise! Also bullshit! You can hear the improved dynamics even with mid line equipment right through the noise! And with high end equipment, it's not much a issue! And there are good records that are well taken care of that are "dead quiet" ! I don't care how noisy a record is, you can hear the improved dynamics with decent equipment!
I dropped in about haf way through this video..I don't know anything about Project other than they're quite inexpensive..I'm assuming they're Eastern European because of the ratio of hot/slim women...In Western Europe our women usually weigh more than their husbands...They also wear larger clothes.
yea there not making no profit on us , look at the money in the building
Ron Bernard business exists to make a profit. It may be more, it may be less, but they NEED to make a profit to exist. Otherwise they exist from government hand outs, that’s called Socialism. Socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money.
I’m glad the company makes a profit, especially when seeing how they take a portion of the profits and put it back in the company.
These guys seem to listen to customer complaints and make the needed adjustments to better the product. I just bought a Debut Carbon III that has NONE of the problems of past Debut Carbon tables. No hum or rumble, the motor has been fixed in the new product. Even the transport screws for the motor are recommended to keep in place now with the new motor to keep in place better.
I am MORE THAN IMPRESSED with the build quality and sound of this table for a $400.00 unit. I may upgrade at some point and time, but you can bet it will be a higher Pro-Ject model...
Guy needs to stop saying "ja"
if you were going to take the time to show people around the factory why don't you invest in a camera with a decent microphone so that we can hear what the hell is going on with out the rattling sound from your microphone unbelievably annoying. you're supposed to know about music and sound and yet your videos are woeful
