Design & Build Quality
The Ground It Deluxe 1 is the epitome of precision engineering. Its 11.6 kg solid base is infused with a tailored granular damping matrix that effectively quenches resonances across the audio spectrum. The dark grey piano lacquer finish exudes sophistication and matches seamlessly with Pro-Ject’s charcoal turntables.
Choose between two spike models—fitting three or four adjustable spikes for pin-point decoupling—or our height-adjustable magnetic feet variant, ideal for uneven surfaces. Each foot isolates micro-vibrations, guaranteeing a rock-steady platform for your most cherished vinyl treasures.

By harnessing its heavyweight construction and granular damping, the Ground It Deluxe 1 dramatically improves signal-to-noise ratio, delivering tighter bass, a more transparent midrange and precise imaging. Every nuance in your record grooves is faithfully transmitted from stylus to speaker.
