LUNAR 3
KEY POINTS
A factory fitted benchmark product
Ortofon 2M RED cartridge
The LUNAR 3 features an MM (moving magnet) cartridge, well known to audiophiles: the Ortofon 2M Red. Research carried out by Danish manufacturer Ortofon, who have been specializing in vinyl reproduction for over 100 years, have produced a high-precision cartridge with exceptional musicality.
Its diamond elliptical shaped stylus matches the groove perfectly and enables the LUNAR 3 to deliver outstanding musical performance, so you can get the best possible performance from your vinyl records.
For added simplicity, the cartridge and carbon tonearm are assembled and aligned in the factory by a Pro-Ject technician, ensuring a perfectly functional turntable right from the very first use.
Ultralight and rigid
Carbon Tonearm
The LUNAR 3 features a straight tonearm made from a single piece of carbon, for which Pro-Ject is known. With an effective weight of just 6g, it has the advantage of being both exceptionally light and rigid to reduce unwanted vibrations.
Meticulously engineered, this turntable allows accurate adjustment of the counterweight, which is placed on the back of the tonearm, to optimize the tracking force placed by the cartridge on the record.
The LUNAR 3 also features an antiskating calibration weight to compensate for the centripetal force that pulls the tonearm towards the inside of the record. This prevents playback errors and stops the stylus from sliding across the records, which could affect the quality of your sound and damage the cartridge.
Perfectly controlled speed & stability
HIGH-PRECISION PIECE OF ENGINEERING
Benefitting greatly from the expertise of the Austrian company Pro-Ject, Europe's leading turntable manufacturer, the LUNAR 3 features an engine with two sorbothane silentblocks and a next-generation suspension system that limits vibrations.
The rotation speed is perfectly controlled, smoothly reproducing the movement right up to the stainless-steel axis. This is where you find the flat belt that drives the steel platter, whose density ensures even rotation.
All these components are placed on a high-density fiberboards base, mounted on three damping feet, guaranteeing excellent stability.
Electronic speed control
Compatible with 33, 45 and 78 rpm records
The LUNAR 3 turntable is compatible with all types of vinyl records on the market, being 33, 45 or 78 rpm.
Selecting the rotation speed for 33 and 45 rpm vinyl records is easy, thanks to the switch located under the left front panel of the turntable.
Playback of 78 rpm records is ensured by a special belt, supplied with the LUNAR 3.
Elegant design
PREMIUM FINISHES
The LUNAR 3 features a luxurious lacquered finish to beautifully match our CAPELLA speakers. The turntable is available in three finishes: Black, White, and Blue. It comes with a lightly smoked acrylic dust cover with adjustable hinges, to protect the turntable from dust.
Designed to complement the Capella speakers
LUNAR 3 + CAPELLA
The LUNAR 3 is designed to be the perfect turntable to complement the active TRIANGLE CAPELLA speakers. Thanks to its built-in phono preamp, the turntable can be connected directly to the speakers, without the need for additional equipment.
The turntable finishes have been chosen to match those of the CAPELLA speakers perfectly, to create a harmonious and elegant Hi-Fi system.
Universal compatibility
BUILT-IN MM PHONO PREAMP
The LUNAR 3 was designed to be compatible with all audio systems, from traditional Hi-Fi systems to the latest generation of connected speakers.
It directly integrates an MM phono preamp that can be activated if your Hi-Fi system is not equipped with one.
To ensure perfect connectivity with your Hi-Fi system, high-quality gold plating is used on the turntable's outputs, as well as on the RCA Phono cable supplied with the turntable.
Electronic stylus balance
Precisely measuring stylus tracking forces
To optimize your stylus settings, we recommend using a stylus balance like the Pro-Ject Measure It E.
It allows you to adjust the amount of pressure on your diamond tip to avoid excessive wear of your diamond and vinyl records.
(It is easy to use, simply check that the stylus tracking force reaches 1.8g* and calibrate it using the supplied counterweight.
* Value for the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. When using a different one, check the recommended tracking force range of your cartridge.)
