ProJect are excited to introduce the beautiful XA B turntable as their newest addition in the X Line range.
Acryl turntables have always played a part of Pro-Ject history, though using this material to build them is not as easy as one might think. Nevertheless, they accepted the challenge once again and the end result is a turntable that looks incredible but is still affordable.
The new XA B features a 10“ aluminium tonearm paired with a pre-adjusted Pick it PRO Balanced which perfectly complements the sound signature of the big acrylic plinth.
An acrylic dustcover, a high quality Connect it E Phono 5P / RCA cable and a Record Puck E are also included in the box.
The "B" in XA B stands for balanced. Balanced audio connections are standard among professional musicians, recording studios, and live concerts. It is essential to have a stable & interference-free connection as these signals, The significant advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interferences.
The XA B comes with our balanced MM cartridge - the Pick it Pro Balanced - and a balanced 5P DIN phono output.
Cartridges are balanced signal transducers by nature! Due to the internal wiring of typical MM cartridges, until now, you needed to upgrade your turntable with an MC cartridge. But not with the new Pick it Pro Balanced! Our special Pick it PRO Balanced has been modified to access the entirety of that balanced signal.
Together with ProJect's separately available True Balanced Connection cables and true balanced phono stages - for example the Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B - you'll be able to access high-end features that were previously only available on the most expensive of turntable setups.
The XA B turntable features a premium 10“ aluminium tonearm with a massive bearing construction. The ultra-low friction 4 pinpoint tonearm bearing guarantees a precise, stable and accurate tracking. ProJect use the one-piece aluminium tonearm tube instead of a carbon one, as aluminium complements the sound characteristics of acryl.
The full aluminium tonearm base offer you real audiophile features. It allows you to adjust both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA).
Setting and experimenting with the VTA & Azimuth is crucial in extracting every last bit of performance out of your cartridge.
Adaptive anti-skating. Technically correct.
As the skating force varies between the inner and outer grooves of the vinyl record, the anti-skating mechanism adjusts accordingly.
