The technology highlights of the Xtension series at an accessible price

The X8 combines the sonic advantages of sub-chassis and mass-loaded designs, offering an affordable entry point into mass-loaded technology and the True Balanced connection variant. The 5.1 kg platter is precision-turned from a single piece of aluminum and dampened on the inside with a ring of TPE*. An inverted platter bearing with ceramic surfaces ensures absolutely precise and controlled rotation, while magnetic support using repelling neodymium magnets relieves the bearing of a large portion of the platter's weight. This significantly improves the smoothness of the bearing.

The chassis is made of solid MDF. It stands on height-adjustable, aluminum-turned, TPE-damped feet. This allows for perfect leveling on any surface and optimal decoupling from it.

The Pro-Ject X8 is also available as a SuperPack. The SuperPack differs from the standard models by including a pre-mounted cartridge from the factory.

The flawlessly finished high-gloss surface in black or white, or alternatively the real wood walnut veneer, gives the turntable a modern or classic touch, respectively.

Turntable

Chassis in high-gloss black, high-gloss white, and walnut real wood veneer
The massive chassis made of dense wood fibers stands on three height-adjustable aluminum feet with TPE* damping
The resonance-optimized, 5.1 kg platter is a sandwich construction made of a TPE*-damped, polished aluminum platter with felt mat (interchangeable)
The inverted platter bearing consists of a stationary stainless steel axle with a ceramic ball, on which a bushing with a ceramic bearing base rotates; supporting magnetic bearings with neodymium magnets carry a large part of the load
Integrated motor control with electronic speed selection between 33 and 45 rpm
External power supply for protection against mechanical and electromagnetic interference
A transparent, hinged Plexiglas dust cover is included
