The Beginning of A Balanced Era

The X2 B is a luxury high-end turntable that can push your musical enjoyment to new limits thanks to Pro-Jectโ€™s True Balanced Connection concept. It features a high-quality moving coil cartridge and balanced output option for class-leading convenience and sonic superiority.

Built to Reduce Unwanted Resonance

Structurally, the Project X2 B is supported by its large, CNC machined MDF chassis, which sits upon three vibration-absorbing feet, reducing unwanted resonances to almost imperceptible levels. Inside, it houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board, which, combined with the convenient speed control board, delivers clean and stable power to the silent motor system.

Flawless Performance

In the X2 B, the motor drives a heavy, non-resonant Acryl platter via a sub-platter drive system and a premium grade main bearing for liquid smooth rotation. This is the perfect platform to place your vinyl records, which guarantees absolute reliability in its performance and sonic character.

With a push of a button, it is easy to change speeds thanks to the automatic switching between 33 and 45 RPM, not forgetting the added benefit of 78 RPM support. For even further improved performance, the motor is carefully balanced and suspended on a precision tuned TPE belt; effectively decoupling the motor from the main plinth.

The Perfect Materials for the Job

The X2 B also benefits from a one-piece Carbon/Alu tonearm with an integrated headshell. This 9โ€ tonearm design is incredibly light and stiff, with improved resistance to external interference and better internal damping. The tonearm can also be adjusted for accurate azimuth and VTA settings, allowing advanced turntable fans to fine-tune their sound. The tonearm is then supplied with a TPE-damped counterweight, further reducing cartridge and tonearm resonances.

Perfectly Balanced

With an Ortofon Quintet Red Moving Coil Cartridge pre-installed, the X2 B can benefit from Pro-Jectโ€™s True Balanced Connections concept. By connecting to a balanced-capable phono stage (such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B) using the mini-XLR output on the back of the turntable, you can benefit from increased dynamics, less noise and improved signal-to-noise ratios.

Going True Balanced is like hearing parts of your music that were not there before.

The Result

The X2 B is fine-tuned to focus on audio excellence. It has all the features needed for convenient use but no extra add-ons that negatively impact the sonic character. The result is a highly engaging, musical turntable that delivers deep, detailed lows, crisp high frequencies and a well-presented midrange.

By going True Balanced, it also avoids any unwanted electrical interference commonly found in your home.

Find Your Finish

Due to Pro-Jectโ€™s advanced manufacturing experience, the X2 B delivers great sound while being a beautiful piece of engineering that can stand proud as the focal point in any home environment. Itโ€™s available in four finishes: a premium walnut wood veneer, a luxurious black eight-layer high gloss paint, or black or white eight-layer hand-polished satin paint.
