Pro-Ject X1/X2 Subplatter Upgrade Aluminium

The ultimate upgrade for your record players

The Pro-Ject Aluminium Subplatter X1 & X2 is the perfect upgrade for anyone who wants to get the most out of their X1 or X2 turntable. This precision-engineered aluminium subplatter offers numerous advantages that significantly improve both the sound quality and the performance of your turntable. With its robust construction and precise workmanship, it is an indispensable accessory for discerning vinyl lovers.

Higher speed accuracy and stability

One of the most outstanding features of the Pro-Ject aluminum sub-platter is the significantly increased speed accuracy. The sub-platter has been manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, which means that it runs much more precisely and smoothly than conventional sub-platters. This results in a more stable rotation of the platter and minimizes unwanted speed deviations, also known as wow & flutter .

The additional mass of the aluminum sub-platter also helps improve speed stability. Because the sub-platter is heavier than the standard models, it can more effectively compensate for variations in drive speed. This improved stability ensures that your records play at a consistent speed, resulting in a clearer and more accurate sound.

Improved damping of unwanted resonances

Another significant feature of the Pro-Ject aluminum sub-platter is its ability to dampen unwanted resonances. Resonances are a common problem with turntables as they can cause vibrations that negatively affect the sound. The aluminum sub-platter adds more mass to the entire platter and drive system, which effectively reduces these resonances.

The dampening of unwanted resonances results in a quieter and clearer sound reproduction. The difference is particularly noticeable when reproducing quiet passages and subtle sound details. The aluminum sub-platter therefore helps to ensure that your records are reproduced with greater precision and purity, taking the listening experience to a new level.

Precision manufactured from high quality aluminum

The Pro-Ject aluminum sub-platter is made from high-quality aluminum, which is not only known for its durability but also offers excellent acoustic performance. The material has been diamond-cut to ensure an absolutely smooth and even surface. This precise machining ensures that the sub-platter fits perfectly on the spindle of your turntable and runs without any deviations.

In addition, the sub-platter is equipped with a stainless steel spindle, which is known for its excellent sliding properties and resistance to wear. This combination of aluminum and stainless steel ensures that the sub-platter is extremely robust and offers consistently high performance for years to come.

A significant upgrade for the X1 and X2

The Pro-Ject aluminum sub-platter was developed specifically for the X1 and X2 turntables, but also fits other compatible models from Pro-Ject. It is particularly suitable for those vinyl enthusiasts who already appreciate the excellent quality of these turntables, but want to exploit the potential of their devices even further.

The upgrade is easy to perform and can be done in just a few minutes. Once installed, you will immediately notice a difference in the sound quality and overall performance of your turntable. This upgrade is a worthwhile investment for anyone who wants to maximize the performance of their turntable and enjoy the best possible listening experience.

Heavy is OK – More mass for better sound

The weight of the aluminum sub-platter is an impressive 700 grams. This additional mass plays a crucial role in improving sound quality. It helps reduce vibrations and makes the turntable run more smoothly and stably. The mass acts as a buffer against external disturbances, making the sound reproduction cleaner and more precise.

The benefits of the extra mass are particularly evident when recording with complex instrumentation or demanding dynamic ranges. The aluminum sub-platter ensures that every nuance of the music is reproduced clearly and in detail, without unwanted distortion or resonance affecting the sound.

Conclusion – An indispensable upgrade for audiophile demands

The Pro-Ject Aluminium Subplatter X1 & X2 is more than just a simple accessory; it is a significant upgrade that takes the performance of your turntable to a new level. With its precise workmanship, improved speed accuracy and effective resonance dampening, this subplatter offers a noticeable improvement in sound quality.

For vinyl lovers who want to get the most out of their X1 or X2 turntables, the Pro-Ject aluminum subplatter is the perfect choice. It combines premium materials with sophisticated engineering to deliver a listening experience that will delight even the most demanding audiophiles. Invest in this upgrade and experience your records in a quality you've never heard before.
