Product description

The younger brother of the Xtension 12 Evolution guarantees superlative vinyl performance in compact dimensions

The Xtension 10 Evolution is perfect for those who love the sound quality of the Xtension 12 Evolution but are looking for a device with a rack-friendly width of 48cm. All our experience from more than 20 years of turntable construction can be found here. The chassis of the Xtension 10 Evolution consists of MDF filled with metal granulate, which allows for high mass and low resonance. Magnetic field feet ensure optimal decoupling of the 22-kilogram Xtension 10 Evolution, which represents a perfect symbiosis of the mass-loaded and sub-chassis principles. The platter, weighing nearly six kilograms, is quieted with a TPE ring. An inverted, magnet-supported platter bearing with ceramic running surfaces ensures rumble values close to the measurement limit. Two repelling neodymium magnets significantly reduce the weight load of the platter on the bearing. This significantly improves the smoothness of the bearing. A record puck improves the contact between the record and the platter.

The medium-mass tonearm is excellently suited for MM and MC cartridges. The conical tonearm tube and the headshell are made from a single piece of carbon fiber, thus exhibiting high rigidity and low resonance. Ball bearings in ABEC 7 quality allow the arm tube to move with almost no mechanical resistance. The stylus can thus follow the record groove unhindered. Its length of 10 inches reduces the tracking angle error again – compared to a 9-inch tonearm. Tracking distortion is thus further minimized.

The various versions of the Pro-Ject Xtension Evolution differ in their features and the size of the chassis. The digit in the model name indicates the length of the installed tonearm. Evolution tonearms from Pro-Ject Audio in lengths of 9, 10, and 12 inches are used.

Exquisite veneers and high-gloss finishes make the player a feast for the eyes.
