Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon – Colourful floor-standing speaker system

Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon, Pro-Ject Audio Systems now presents the largest model of the Pro-Ject Speaker Box Series in the latest generation, which, how could it be otherwise, is a floorstanding speaker system that, like its smaller siblings, can fulfil even the highest demands.

Story Highlights
  • The new Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon should prove to be a floor-standing speaker system that shines with a highly detailed sound stage, naturalness and freedom from colouration.

In addition to record players and electronic components, the Austrian company Pro-Ject Audio Systems has also had speaker systems in its wide-ranging product portfolio for years, namely the Pro-Ject Speaker Box Series. This is now being expanded to include a further floor-standing speaker system, the new Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon.

Once again, Pro-Ject Audio Systems emphasises that it is a speaker system that meets even audiophile demands and can be seamlessly integrated into any living environment with its slim shape and elegant design.

Family picture – The Pro-Ject Speaker Box Series

The latest generation of the Pro-Ject Speaker Box Series now has three models at the top end, namely the Pro-Ject Speaker Box 3 E Carbon and Pro-Ject Speaker Box 5 E Carbon bookshelf speaker systems, the Pro-Ject Speaker Box 10 E Carbon floor-standing speaker system and now also the Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon.

The new Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon floorstanding speaker system

Like all models in the latest generation of the Pro-Ject Speaker Box Series, the Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon is a deliberately compact solution. As already mentioned, this is intended to facilitate easy integration into any living environment.

The Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon is also characterised by a simple and therefore timelessly elegant appearance with clear lines, which it also has in common with its smaller siblings.

The Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon is initially equipped with a silk dome tweeter which, according to the manufacturer, is intended to provide transparent, natural-sounding highs. This tweeter is combined with two woofers, whereby the low-mid drivers of the new Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon are solutions with a carbon composite cone.

The Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon is equipped with a rear-firing bass reflex system for particularly superior reproduction down to the lowest frequencies.

Once again, the developers of the new Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon have opted for a solid MDF housing, which should guarantee a particularly high level of stability and therefore a reproduction free from sound-damaging vibrations and also free from resonances thanks to appropriate damping and bracing on the inside.

Technical data of the Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon

As already mentioned, the new Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon is a floorstanding loudspeaker system designed as a 2.5-way bass reflex system. A 2,5 cm silk dome tweeter is combined with two 16,5 cm carbon composite speakers.

The new Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon is capable of reproducing a frequency range between 42 Hz and 20 kHz, as the data sheet reveals. It also states that this speaker system has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 89 dB and is therefore designed for amplifiers with an output of between 20 and 200 watts.

The Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon measures 1.100 x 165 x 220 mm and thus weighs 15,17 kg per speaker.

Prices and availability

The new Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon is now available from specialist retailers in a walnut finish, but also in various matt lacquer finishes. Customers can choose between Satin Black, Satin White, Satin Green, Satin Blue and Satin Yellow. The price for these variants is € 1.199,- and € 1.299,- for the walnut version.

Getting to the point

After Pro-Ject Audio Systems has already heralded the latest model generation of the Pro-Ject Speaker Box Series with the Pro-Ject Speaker Box 3 E Carbon and Pro-Ject Speaker Box 5 E Carbon bookshelf speakers and the Pro-Ject Speaker Box 10 E Carbon floorstanding speakers, the second floorstanding speaker system now follows in the form of the Pro-Ject Speaker Box 12 E Carbon. In addition to the thoroughly neat technical data and an extremely attractive price, it should be emphasised that this model is available in a wide range of design variants.
