X2 B in Piano Black, Satin Black, Satin White, Walnut. High-end, belt-drive turntable featuring "True Balanced" connectivity, allowing for low-noise, balanced signal transmission via a 5-pin mini XLR output. It features a 9-inch carbon/aluminum tonearm, a heavy acrylic platter and comes with a pre-installed Ortofon Quintet Red MC cartridge, aiming for high-end analogue performance.
Key Features:
- True Balanced Connection: The standout feature is the 5-pin mini XLR output, which, when used with a balanced phono stage (like Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B), delivers a fully balanced signal from cartridge to preamp, minimizing electromagnetic interference.
- Tonearm and Cartridge: A 9-inch one-piece carbon/aluminium sandwich tonearm (high rigidity/damping) with ultra-low friction, 4-pinpoint bearing. It is pre-fitted with an Ortofon Quintet Red moving coil cartridge.
- Platter and Motor: A heavy 30mm thick, 2 kg acrylic platter is used for resonance reduction. The motor is isolated from the main chassis using a TPE damping belt and suspension system to eliminate vibration.
- Adjustability: Features fully adjustable VTA (vertical tracking angle) and azimuth to allow cartridge optimization and mat changes.
- Build and Speed Control: Features an heavy MDF plinth with 8-layer paint finish, electronic speed control (33/45 RPM). A separate pulley is included to support 78 RPM playback.
- Included Accessories: Supplied with a Connect it E Phono cable (including mini-XLR options), felt mat, and dust cover.
- The X2 B is designed to offer a low-noise floor and improved, more detailed sound compared to standard single-ended setups.
