Ortofon Quintet Blue

Ready for True Balanced Connection

The X8 comes factory set with or without an Ortofon Quintet Blue. This cartridge will perfectly set you up for the True Balanced experience!

Mass-loaded platter

5.1kg heavy

TPE damped, mass-loaded platter precision lathed from a single aluminium block and finely balanced.

Inverted bearing

Stainless Steel Spindle

The inverted platter bearing is supported by a neodymium magnet that decreases the load on the ceramic tipped bearing.

Mass-loaded Chassis

Carbon tonearm

The X8 inherited the massive MDF chassis and the top-of-the-line Pro-Ject 9cc EVO carbon tonearm from its larger siblings.

Metal Feet

Damped & height adjustable

The three height adjustable damped aluminium feet guarantee the perfect stand & massively reduce risk of acoustical feedback.

33/45 RPM

Precision controlled

Switch speeds at the push of a button and enjoy stable and accurate speeds due to the built in electronic speed control.

True Balanced

Unleash the full power

The X8 is ready for our new True Balanced Connection. Single-ended RCA connections, quite literally, only use half of your cartridge's output. With one of our new True Balanced phono cables wired to a Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, Phono Box RS or RS2 you'll be able to hear your MC cartridge in its entirety!

Handmade in EU

Since 1991

Made in Europe by a turntable factory with decades of experience. Expert craftsmanship dwells deep within the X8.
