Pro-Ject X2 B Turntable – Redefining Analog Precision with True Balanced Technology
The Pro-Ject X2 B is a premium manual turntable built for the discerning audiophile who seeks pure analog performance in a modern, connected world. As part of Pro-Ject’s new line embracing True Balanced Connection technology, the X2 B delivers a remarkably clean and noise-resistant signal path from cartridge to preamp, unlocking the full potential of your vinyl collection.
Unlike conventional single-ended RCA connections, the X2 B supports fully balanced output via its dedicated mini-XLR port. This architecture effectively reduces electromagnetic interference, improves dynamics, and delivers greater resolution—especially important in environments saturated with wireless devices and electronic noise.
The heart of the X2 B is its 2 kg acrylic platter, a resonance-free platform that offers superb rotational stability and sonic neutrality. It rests on a precisely machined stainless-steel bearing and is powered by a high-torque motor system with electronic speed control. The integrated DC/AC generator ensures pure, consistent power delivery, allowing seamless switching between 33, 45, and 78 RPM at the touch of a button.
At the core of its playback performance is a 9-inch carbon-aluminium tonearm, crafted for optimal damping and rigidity. The sandwich construction combines the lightweight responsiveness of carbon fiber with the controlled behavior of aluminium, enabling compatibility with a wide range of cartridges, including low-compliance moving coils. The tonearm also supports full adjustability of both vertical tracking angle (VTA) and azimuth, giving you precise control over cartridge alignment and tracking performance.
Mechanically decoupled from the chassis, the motor assembly is isolated using a tuned TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) suspension belt, minimizing vibrations and ensuring a clean, focused playback experience. The heavy MDF plinth is CNC-machined for absolute consistency, free of hollow chambers or plastic elements, and is finished in your choice of premium high-gloss, satin, or real wood veneer.
The X2 B is not only a high-performance analog source—it is also a statement of design and engineering maturity. From the aluminum feet to the included Connect it E semi-balanced phono cable, every component has been carefully selected to elevate the vinyl experience.
Ideal for those looking to pair with a balanced phono stage, such as Pro-Ject’s Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B, the X2 B represents a future-forward turntable solution that honors analog tradition while embracing audiophile innovation.
