Fully balanced signal for authentic sound reproduction

With the Pro-Ject X1 B you get the opportunity to take full advantage of True Balanced technology. By upgrading to an MC pickup and connecting your turntable with one of our True Balanced phono cables, you can enjoy a signal transfer without interference. This results in significantly improved dynamics and a lower noise level, ensuring that every detail of your music appears crystal clear. With True Balanced, you get rid of the limitations that unbalanced signals can cause, and instead gain access to a sound that is rich in depth and nuance.

Easy setup with balanced cables and RIAA amplifiers

One of the most practical features of the X1 B is its Mini XLR output. This output allows you to connect the turntable to a wide range of balanced phono cables, suitable for Pro-Ject's range of balanced RIAA amplifiers. Whether you choose the Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B, you get a smooth connection and a fully balanced signal path from the turntable to the amplifier.

Precise and stable tonearm with impressive motor mount

The Pro-Ject X1 B's 8.6" tonearm is a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum, designed as a solid piece without a resonant headshell. This provides a super-rigid construction that ensures optimal tracking of the record groove and thus an accurate reproduction of the sound. The motor suspension is equally impressive. A stainless steel bearing spindle, soft brass bushings and Teflon mirrors are used here, which reduce motor vibrations to a minimum. Together, this creates a turntable that not only delivers exceptional sound, but also minimizes noise and rumble.

Resonance-free turntable with vibration-damping feet

The Pro-Ject X1 B is equipped with a 1.5 kg acrylic turntable that acts as the perfect platform for your valuable vinyl records. This heavy and resonance-free construction ensures that records are played with the highest reliability and sonic character. The three height-adjustable aluminum feet with damping give the turntable a solid base, effectively reducing the risk of acoustic feedback and ensuring that it stands completely stable on any surface.

A turntable that can be customized to your preferences

The X1 B is also a highly adaptable turntable. With fully adjustable azimuth and VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle), you can tailor playback to suit your exact preferences. Whether you want to experiment with different pickups or fine-tune the tonearm, the X1 B gives you the freedom to create your perfect sound.

Precise motor control with precise speeds

The X1 B supports 33, 45 and 78 rpm, and the speed is easily adjusted with the touch of a button. The sophisticated DC/AC generator delivers clean and stable power to the motor, ensuring smooth and precise playback, no matter what record you're playing.
