Description
THE PRO-JECT X1 B TURNTABLEThe X1 B is the latest version of Pro-Ject’s original record player, still in the range after more than 25 years.
The X1 B is a cutting-edge turntable that brings high-end analogue technologies to a more affordable price-point.
This beautiful turntable now also features a fully balanced mini XLR output, which offers you a symmetrical connection to our new Phono Box S3 B or Phono Box DS3 B.
STRUCTURE AND BUILDStructurally the X1 B is framed by its over-sized, heavyweight MDF structure.
In the X1 B, the motor drives a purpose-made, heavy, non-resonant Acryl platter via a sub-platter drive system and a premium grade main bearing, for liquid smooth rotation.
This is the perfect platform on which to place your precious vinyl records, guaranteeing absolute reliability in its performance and sonic character.
MOTOR AND SPEEDSStructurally the X1 B is framed by its over-sized, heavyweight MDF structure.
Inside the plinth, it houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board which, combined with the convenient speed control board (for automatic switching between 33 and 45 RPM as well as additional 78 RPM support), delivers clean and stable power to the electronically regulated precision drive quiet-running motor.
For even further improved performance, the motor is decoupled from the main plinth using a new motor suspension system.
IMPROVED ISOLATIONThe turntable is then positioned on three height-adjustable, decoupling Alu/TPE sandwich feet for improved isolation from the structure it’s placed upon.
For safety when not in use, an acrylic dust cover is also included with the turntable.
THE TONEARMThe X1 B is also better than its predecessors thanks to the super-stiff, perfectly tempered Carbon/Alu sandwich construction tonearm, inspired by our superior The Classic turntable.
This new 8.
6†tonearm design is incredibly light and stiff, with improved resistance to external interference.
Finished as a one-piece, with no resonance-inducing headshell, the X1 tonearm can also be adjusted for accurate azimuth and VTA settings, allowing advanced analogue audiophiles to fine-tune more than ever before.
The tonearm is then supplied with a TPE-damped counterweight, further reducing cartridge/tonearm resonances.
PICK IT PRO BALANCEDThe new Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge is a revised version of the Pick it PRO which allows you a ‘True Balanced’ signal transmission.
Standard MM cartridges cannot be used with a symmetrical connection, as it would result in a difference between the left and right channel.
The Pick it PRO Balanced doesn’t share the shielding pin with the ground, resulting in a cleaner and truly balanced signal transmission.
It is the first moving magnet cartridge that can be used in a fully balanced phono setup!ACCESSORIESSupplied in the box are a pair of Connect-IT E RCA cables; a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable with superior shielding that’s optimised for turntable use.
The turntable is then positioned on three height-adjustable, decoupling Alu/TPE sandwich feet for improved isolation from the structure it’s placed upon.
For safety when not in use, an acrylic dust cover is also included with the turntable.
THE FINISHED PRODUCTThe X1 B truly represents the epitome of Pro-Ject’s core philosophies.
Due to the company’s extensive experience and meticulous manufacturing processes, they’ve put resources, time and effort into giving music lovers the best sound for their money, rather than cutting corners to save on costs.
Available in three finishes; a premium walnut wood veneer or a luxurious black or white eight-layer gloss paint.
