Pro-Ject X2 Turntable
Pro-Ject's X2 turntable is launched with the intention to replace the previous model - the 2Xperience SB. Its design includes a brand new carbon fiber wrapped aluminum tonearm, carried over from the Pro-Ject Classic SB model. The first time in particular that this tonearm will be fitted on a non-Classic turntable.
There is more mass in the chassis, platter, and tonearm with heavy and dense MDF structure to tone down unwanted resonances to virtually imperceptible levels. By adding this extra mass, the X2 is even quieter, allowing the vinyl reproduction to become more detailed and precise. Inside, it houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board which, combined with the convenient speed control board, delivers clean and stable power to the silent motor system. The tonearm is longer – 9-inch in length – and the tube has a wider diameter and the carbon/aluminum sandwich construction results in better internal damping. This also means, the entire tonearm bearing is upgraded to compensate for the extra mass; altogether tracking will be more precise and stable.
The X2‘s motor chassis is carefully balanced and suspended on a precision-tuned TPE belt; this way the motor chassis is effectively decoupled from the main plinth for optimal performance. It is supplied either with or without a 2M Silver cartridge.
Not only for aesthetic reasons, but its full aluminum tonearm base also serves better and stiffer fixing to the chassis with Azimuth and VTA adjustment.
The X2 also comes with a height-adjustable, isolating Alu/ TPE sandwich feet and a high-quality phono RCA cable. Pro-Ject's Connect it E is a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable, with superior shielding. Compared to other digital and analog music sources, the signal coming from a turntable cartridge is very fragile in nature and cheap RCA cables often do not provide the ideal conditions for getting a phono signal to an amplifier. The Connect-it E is purpose-designed for this exact application.
The X2 is available in four finishes; a premium walnut wood veneer, a luxurious black 8-layer high gloss paint, or black or white eight-layer hand-polished satin paint.
