True high-end features with a license to upgrade

The X1 B has all the high-end features of a modern turntable at an attractive price, so that you can enjoy listening to music as much as possible. Its chassis made of compressed wood fibers provides sufficient mass, resonance inhibition and stability for the best possible mechanical tracking of every record. The platter made of satined acrylic not only looks good, but also offers the LP a stable base for the most precise scanning at an excellently constant speed. The electronic engine control takes care of that

Mechanically, the X1 B corresponds to the X1. A Pro-Ject Pick it S2 MM cartridge is factory fitted. The internal wiring, which is consistently separated according to signal and shielding, and the connection terminal with mini XLR socket enable later upgrading to a fully symmetrical connection according to the Pro-Ject True BalancedConcept. A suitable pickup, eg an MC model, is required for this.

The X1 B is available in three different color variants; the luxurious black or white eight coat high gloss finish and in a premium walnut veneer.
