True Balanced Connection for Superior Sound
Equipped with a fully balanced mini XLR output, the X1 B allows for symmetrical connections to compatible phono preamps, such as Pro-Ject's Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B. This setup minimizes noise and interference, delivering a cleaner and more dynamic audio signal.
NEW Balanced Cartridge
Now with a pre-adjusted Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge. The Pro-Ject Pick it PRO Balanced is a groundbreaking moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge designed to deliver a true balanced audio signal, enhancing sound quality by minimizing noise and interference. Developed in collaboration with Ortofon, this cartridge reconfigures traditional MM design by isolating the generator shield from the right channel ground, enabling symmetrical signal transmission – a first in the industry.
High-Precision Motor and Platter Design
The X1 B features a sophisticated DC/AC generator board that provides stable power to its quiet-running motor. This motor drives a heavy, non-resonant 1.5 kg acrylic platter via a sub-platter system and premium-grade main bearing, ensuring smooth and consistent rotation for your vinyl records.
Advanced Tonearm Construction
The 8.6-inch one-piece tonearm is crafted from a carbon/aluminum sandwich construction, offering both rigidity and low resonance. This design ensures precise tracking of record grooves, resulting in accurate sound reproduction. Additionally, the tonearm supports azimuth and vertical tracking angle (VTA) adjustments, allowing users to fine-tune their setup for optimal performance.
Elegant and Functional Design
Structurally, the X1 B is framed by an oversized, heavyweight MDF plinth, providing a solid foundation that minimizes vibrations. The turntable is available in three finishes: luxurious black or white eight-layer gloss paint, or a premium walnut wood veneer, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into any audio setup.
Convenient Speed Control and Isolation Features
With built-in electronic speed control, users can easily switch between 33, 45, and 78 RPM playback speeds without manual belt adjustments. The X1 B also includes height-adjustable, vibration-absorbing aluminum feet, ensuring optimal isolation from external disturbances and maintaining high-fidelity sound quality.
