#ProJectX1B #Turntable #Unboxed The X1 B utilises Pro-Ject’s True Balanced connection to deliver music that’s defined by incredible clarity and free of noise and distortion. Now pre-fitted with the Pick It PRO Balanced cartridge, and equipped with a 5-pin mini XLR cable, all you need to do is connect to a Pro-Ject ‘True Balanced’ phono stage, and the X1 B will serve up thrillingly pure and precise analogue audio.
True Balanced Connection
One of the significant benefits of balanced connections is their ability to eliminate noise and interference picked up during signal transmission. Moreover, cartridges are naturally balanced signal transducers, making the True Balanced approach particularly advantageous since it utilises the full potential of the cartridge’s signal. The X1 B utilises Pro-Ject’s True Balanced connection to deliver music that’s defined by incredible clarity and free of noise and distortion.
Brothers in Arms
The X1 and X2 turntables need no introduction. This award-winning pair have shown the audio world just how proper execution of basic principles in turntable design can amount to audiophile-caliber sonics affordably. Each attack the problems of isolation & resonance from multiple angles featuring height-adjustable TPE-damped aluminum feet, massive plinths of top-quality MDF, solid acrylic record platters & one-piece carbon-wrapped aluminum tonearm tubes with precision bearings. Their motors are also shielded, TPE-isolated and fed by the cleanest power delivered by Speed Box technology for push-button speed change and spot-on stability.
High Quality Build
Starting with the chassis, Pro-Ject have crafted the X1 from MDF, rather than standard particle boards resulting in a better sounding and feeling turntable. This chassis is then finished with 8 layers of painting and a hand-polished finish, designed to look good and remain looking good, especially when compared to the commonly used foil painting techniques.
The chassis houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board which, combined with the convenient speed control board, delivers clean and stable power to the quiet-running motor. For improved performance the motor is decoupled from the main plinth using a new motor suspension system.
In the X1, the motor drives a new, heavy, non-resonant Acryl platter via a sub-platter drive system and a premium grade main bearing for liquid smooth rotation. This is the perfect platform on which to place your precious vinyl records, guaranteeing absolute reliability in its performance and sonic character.
Pick it PRO Balanced Cartridge
The Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge is a revised version of the Pick it PRO which allows you a “True Balanced“ signal transmission. Standard MM cartridges cannot be used with a symmetrical connection, as it would result in a difference between the left and right channel. The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interference.
