Pro-Ject X1 B Turntable: A Modern Classic for Vinyl Purists

The Pro-Ject X1 B turntable represents the epitome of high-fidelity vinyl listening, blending timeless craftsmanship with innovative technology to deliver a pristine sound experience. Designed in Europe, the X1 B is meticulously crafted with audiophiles in mind, providing a robust yet elegant solution for those who appreciate the full spectrum of analog sound. With its balanced output option, the X1 B offers both an exceptionally immersive soundstage and a whisper-quiet playback, bringing out the finest details in every record.

Balanced Connection for Purity and Precision

At the heart of the X1 B’s design is its balanced connection option, a feature typically reserved for professional audio setups. This balanced XLR output drastically reduces noise and interference, providing a cleaner, more accurate sound signal. By enabling fully balanced transmission from the cartridge through the signal path, the X1 B lets listeners enjoy an enhanced, immersive experience that highlights even the subtlest nuances in music.

High-Performance Tonearm for Pristine Playback

The X1 B features an advanced 8.6-inch tonearm crafted from carbon and aluminum. This combination makes the tonearm both rigid and lightweight, optimizing tracking accuracy while minimizing unwanted resonance. Equipped with a precision tonearm bearing and adjustable counterweight, the tonearm perfectly complements the Pick it S2 MM cartridge (included with the turntable) for flawless playback across all types of vinyl records.

Sophisticated Platter Design for Stability

To maintain the highest sound integrity, the X1 B includes a 1.5 kg resonance-dampened acrylic platter. This heavy platter offers stability, minimizing unwanted vibrations and allowing for even rotational speed. Combined with the turntable’s electronically controlled belt-drive motor, the acrylic platter helps achieve smooth, consistent playback at both 33 and 45 RPM. Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the X1 B’s capability to deliver a precise, uncolored sound that faithfully replicates the original recording.

Superior Build Quality and Finish

Crafted with care and precision, the X1 B’s MDF chassis is sturdy and well-damped to reduce external vibrations. Available in luxurious finishes such as satin black, walnut, and high-gloss white, this turntable not only sounds incredible but also adds a sophisticated touch to any room. The turntable sits on height-adjustable aluminum feet, which further isolate it from surface vibrations and enhance overall performance.
