Innovative Chassis Design
The Xtension 10 Evolution features a chassis constructed from MDF filled with metal sand, providing substantial mass and minimizing resonance. This design is complemented by magnetic feet that decouple the main plinth from its base, effectively isolating the turntable from external vibrations. Weighing a total of 22 kg, this combination of mass and magnetic suspension results in a turntable that virtually floats, merging mass-loaded and floating turntable design principles for superior sound quality.
Advanced Platter Construction
Departing from traditional all-metal platters, the Xtension 10 Evolution utilizes a carefully selected alloy damped internally with Sorbothane®. The top layer incorporates recycled vinyl records, acting as an ideal mat, all fused together and precision-balanced after baking. This construction yields a resonance-free, heavy platter that operates ultra-silently on an inverted ceramic ball bearing with magnetic support, ensuring smooth and consistent playback.
Precision Tonearm Engineering
Equipped with the Pro-Ject 10” Evolution tonearm, the Xtension 10 Evolution benefits from high-mass technology and is isolated from the main board by a Sorbothane® layer. This design accommodates a wide range of premium phono cartridges, from 4 to 14 grams, and includes four different Sorbothane®-damped counterweights, offering versatility and precise tracking for optimal audio reproduction.
Comprehensive Package and Connectivity
The Xtension 10 Evolution comes complete with a premium 5-pin to RCA tonearm cable, with an optional upgrade to a 5-pin to XLR cable for those seeking a balanced connection. Balanced connections, when paired with compatible equipment like the Phono Box RS or RS2, significantly reduce interference from external electric fields, enhancing the purity of the audio signal. The package also includes a dust cover, adapter for 7” singles, record puck, counterweights, power supply, allen key, spirit level, and gloves, providing everything needed for immediate setup and enjoyment.
