XA B

A clear view

For 33 years we have been developing turntables which focus on sound and not on features, and we are never afraid of experiments to achieve an even better sound.

Xa B Lifestyle 9 1

We have crafted a beautiful acrylic entry-level record player for the X-Series. This player shares features of its more expensive brethren while maintaining an extremely light look. The technical parts seem to be floating atop an almost invisible slab of acrylic. Top that off with True Balanced Connection capabilities and you got yourself a truly ethereal player!

A clear view

For 33 years we have been developing turntables, which focus on sound and not on features, and we are never afraid of experiments to achieve an even better sound.

Acryl was always part of the Pro-Ject history. The first ever acrylic turntable was the Pro-Ject 6.9 Perspective which was a huge success. Also, the 6PerspeX is part of our product range since over 15 years already and still one of our best performers. The limited edition Perspective Final Edition was a great success as well and sold out in a very short time.
These turntables were examples where we combined the advantages of the special look and acoustical damping of acryl.

A perfect combination

The use of acryl is not as easy as you would think. The high internal damping ability is a good characteristic, but to get a sonical perfect result, all parts of a turntable need to work together. From measurements and listening tests we know, that acryl can overdamp the turntable which results in a very dry sound character. The combination with the aluminium tonearm and platter and the matched Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge, paired with the special feet, make the XA B lively and it convinces with a dynamic and detailed sound signature.

The development of an acrylic turntable is more complex, but we accepted the challenge once again. The result is a wonderful sounding & looking, but still affordable turntable.

What's True Balanced?

The "B" in XA B stands for balanced. Balanced audio connections are standard among professional musicians, recording studios, and live concerts. It is essential to have a stable & interference-free connection as these signals, The significant advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interferences.

The XA B comes with our balanced MM cartridge - the Pick it Pro Balanced - and a balanced 5P DIN phono output.

Cartridges are balanced signal transducers by nature! Due to the internal wiring of typical MM cartridges, until now, you needed to upgrade your turntable with an MC cartridge. But not with the new Pick it Pro Balanced! Our special Pick it PRO Balanced has been modified to access the entirety of that balanced signal.

Together with our separately available True Balanced Connection cables and true balanced phono stages - for example the Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B - you'll be able to access high-end features that were previously only available on the most expensive of turntable setups.

Premium Tonearm

The XA B turntable features a premium 10“ aluminium tonearm with a massive bearing construction. The ultra-low friction 4 pinpoint tonearm bearing guarantees a precise, stable and accurate tracking. We use the one-piece aluminium tonearm tube instead of a carbon one, as aluminium complements the sound characteristics of acryl.

The full aluminium tonearm base offer you real audiophile features. It allows you to adjust both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). 

Setting and experimenting with the VTA & Azimuth is crucial in extracting every last bit of performance out of your cartridge.

A Clear Line In Sight

Adaptive anti-skating

Technically correct

As the skating force varies between the inner and outer grooves of the vinyl record, our anti-skating mechanism adjusts accordingly.

Counterweight

TPE damped

The TPE insert decouples the counterweight from the tonearm and reduces resonances.
