Pro-Ject X1 B 

The Pro-Ject X1 B is a high-quality audiophile turntable for demanding vinyl enthusiasts. With its 8.6-inch carbon/aluminum tonearm, the low-resonance 1.5 kg acrylic platter, and precise electronic motor control, the X1 B provides the best foundation for detailed and dynamic music playback.

A special highlight is the True Balanced technology. The Pro-Ject X1 B features both a classic RCA phono output and a 5-pin mini-XLR output. When used with a suitable balanced phono preamplifier and cable, the turntable signal can be transmitted fully balanced. This reduces interference and achieves a particularly clean, dynamic sound profile.

Precise tracking is ensured by the high-quality 8.6-inch carbon/aluminum sandwich tonearm. The tonearm and headshell are designed as an exceptionally rigid construction. In addition, VTA and azimuth can be adjusted, allowing the X1 B to be optimally matched to the cartridge being used.

The X1 B offered here is equipped with the Ortofon Quintet Red cartridge. The MC cartridge features an elliptical stylus and is excellently suited for high-quality vinyl playback.

The heavy 20 mm acrylic platter, weighing 1.5 kg, ensures smooth and stable rotation. The precise stainless steel and brass platter bearing, as well as the decoupled motor suspension, help to minimize unwanted vibrations and mechanical noise.

The speed can be selected for 33, 45, and 78 RPM. A transparent dust cover is also included in the delivery. The Pro-Ject X1 B thus combines high-quality craftsmanship, flexible connectivity options, and modern True Balanced technology in one elegant hi-fi turntable.
