The VC-E2 is a compact, affordable vinyl record-cleaning machine (RCM). Inspired by the developments made in the Pro-Ject VC-S2 ALU [LINK] design, VC-E2 offers a string of premium features in a smaller package that’s suited to smaller record collections and tighter space.

Boasting a striking aluminium surface that’s not only visually appealing but is able to withstand excessive fluid spill without compromising the chassis, the VC-E still houses a sufficiently powerful vacuum motor to clean records, residue-free, in as little as one or two rotations. The very best results are achieved with one rotation forward, followed by one backward. The drive motor also makes one rotation within 2 seconds, which is about three times faster than comparable products. The end result is a faster and more effective cleaning process for the cost.

A screw-on clamp, lined with a rubber pad, protects the record label from cleaning fluid and avoids damage to the label. The robust metal arm is easy to use, mechanically stable and focuses all suction power directly onto the record surface.

The VC-E is supplied with Pro-Ject’s own eco-friendly, non-alcoholic vinyl cleaning concentrate. Wash-IT offers very good cleaning results and reduces the static charge, so record wear and stylus wear are significantly reduced. It also evaporates in the air, dramatically reducing the number of times you need to empty the built-in 0.5l waste liquid tank.

Who is Project?

Project started in the hifi business designing and manufacturing affordable stereo turntables in the early 1990s, beginning with the entry-level Debut model. It was a great success, like all other turntables on the market at that time were at least  £100 more expensive, without offering a performance benefit. Project has gone on to extend the range of turntables they offer at all popular price points and performance levels, through midrange to high-end models.
