Who is Project?

It's no secret that ProJect designs and engineers some of the most critically acclaimed turntables and turntable accessories on the market. In an effort to prove themselves in other aspects of hifi, ProJect has released their 'Box Design' series; a collective of amplifiers, CD players, iPod docks and more - all of which exist in astonishingly compact cabinets. These compact units can be combined within dedicated shelf cabinets to form a tidy mini-system appearance while retaining the quality and 'ease-of-upgrade' of hifi separates.
