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

Turntable and cartridge at a discounted package price. Includes pre-mounted Ortofon MC Quintet Black S low-output MC cartridge.

The Xtension 9 Evolution is perfect for anyone who loves the sound quality of the Xtension 12 Evolution but is looking for a unit with a rack-friendly width of 46.5cm. All our experience from over 20 years of turntable construction is incorporated here. The chassis of the Xtension 9 Evolution is made of MDF filled with metal granulate, which allows for high mass and low resonance. Magnetic field feet ensure optimal decoupling of the 18kg Xtension 9 Evolution, which represents a perfect symbiosis of mass-loaded and sub-chassis principles. The nearly six-kilogram platter is stabilized with a ring of TPE*. An inverted, magnetically supported platter bearing with ceramic surfaces ensures rumble values close to the measurement limit. Two repelling neodymium magnets significantly reduce the platter's weight load on the bearing. The smoothness of the bearing is thus significantly improved. A record puck improves the contact between the record and the platter.

The medium-weight tonearm is excellently suited for both MM and MC cartridges. The conical tonearm tube and headshell are manufactured from a single piece of carbon fiber, providing high rigidity and low resonance. ABEC 7-quality ball bearings allow the arm tube to move almost without mechanical resistance. The stylus can thus follow the record groove unhindered.

The various versions of the Pro-Ject Xtension Evolution differ in their equipment and chassis size. The Pro-Ject Xtension 9 Evolution and Pro-Ject Xtension 10 Evolution models are also available as SuperPacks. SuperPacks differ from standard units by including a factory-mounted cartridge. The digit in the model name indicates the length of the installed tonearm. Pro-Ject Audio Evolution tonearms in 9, 10, and 12-inch lengths are used. The Pro-Ject Xtension Ortofon RS-309D comes factory-equipped with a 12-inch Ortofon tonearm.

Exquisite veneers in olive, mahogany, walnut, rosewood, eucalyptus, and walnut burl, as well as various high-gloss finishes, make the player a feast for the eyes.
