Pro-Ject XA B

High-end sound and exquisite look

Developing an acrylic turntable is more complex, but Pro-Ject has once again risen to the challenge. The result is a turntable that sounds and looks wonderful, yet is still affordable. Premium tonearm

Premium tonearm

The XA B features a high-quality 10-inch aluminum tonearm with a solid bearing construction. The extremely low-friction 4-point tonearm bearing guarantees precise, stable, and accurate tracking. We use a one-piece aluminum tonearm tube instead of a carbon tube because aluminum optimally complements the sound characteristics of acrylic. We use a one-piece aluminum tonearm tube instead of a carbon tube because aluminum optimally complements the sound characteristics of acrylic. The aluminum tonearm base offers excellent acoustic features. You can adjust both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). Adjusting and experimenting with VTA and azimuth is crucial to achieving the best possible sound quality. You can adjust both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). Adjusting and experimenting with VTA and azimuth is crucial to getting the last bit of performance out of your cartridge.

Heavy aluminum platter

The 1.7 kg die-cast aluminum platter is reworked in an additional step and precisely balanced to achieve a perfect platter. The heavy aluminum platter has a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) ring inside that helps dampen resonances and minimize speed fluctuations. The included Record Puck E provides additional damping and stability. minimizing speed fluctuations. The included Record Puck E provides additional damping and stability. Record pucks use weight to press a playing record against the platter. By holding them together, the sound of the turntable improves in terms of timing and sound depth.

Height-adjustable, damped feet

The new XA B stands on three height-adjustable, damped feet to ensure perfect stability. The use of three feet increases stability on uneven surfaces, as a perfectly level turntable is essential for true high-end sound. Premium DC/AC power generator

Premium DC/AC power generator

In all our turntables, we use a cheap-looking switching power supply. We do this because inside the turntable, a precise DC-powered AC generator is used to drive the motor. This creates a completely new sine wave. This allows us to generate a completely new sine wave. This guarantees very clean power, resulting in improved speed stability. The upgrade for your phono setup

The upgrade for your phono setup

Your phono setup requires a clean and stable power supply. The included power supply is already a good basis, but we want to go even further. The Power Box S3 Phono supplies the XA B and a Pro-Ject phono preamplifier with power. Its two outputs are specially designed for use with Pro-Ject turntables and phono preamplifiers. High-quality DC filtering can have a dramatic impact on sound quality. In addition to sound improvements, the Power Box S3 Phono also offers users a clean cable solution that avoids power supply and cable clutter. True Balanced

True Balanced

The new Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge is a revised version of the Pick it PRO, which allows you to enjoy true balanced signal transmission. The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to eliminate recorded noise and interference. Highlights - True balanced signal transmission - High-quality DC filtering
