Pro-Ject X1 Turntable

Real high-end features - True audiophile sound

The X1B has improved in every aspect thanks to modern materials and new production methods. Inside it houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board which, combined with the convenient speed control board, delivers clean and stable power to the quiet-running motor. For even further improved performance, the motor is decoupled from the main plinth using a new motor suspension system. The motor drives a new, heavy, non-resonant Acryl platter via a sub-platter drive system and a premium-grade stainless steel platter bearing with soft brass bushing for liquid-smooth rotation ensuring lowest rumble and noise.

The X1B is also better than its predecessors, thanks to the super-stiff, perfectly tempered Carbon/Alu sandwich construction tonearm. 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 head shell, the X1 can also be set for azimuth and VTA adjustment. The tonearm is then supplied with a TPE-damped counterweight, further reducing cartridge-tonearm resonances.

Supplied in the box is our Connect-IT E RCA cables, a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable with superior shielding optimized for turntable use. Lastly, height-adjustable, damped aluminium feet massively reduce the risk of acoustical feedback; a necessary feature to level the turntable and effectively isolate it from the surface it is placed on.
