Fully balanced signal for authentic sound reproduction

With Pro-Ject X1 B, you get the opportunity to take full advantage of True Balanced technology. By upgrading to an MC cartridge and connecting the turntable with one of our True Balanced phono cables, you can enjoy interference-free signal transmission. This results in significantly improved dynamics and a lower noise level, ensuring that every detail in your music comes through crystal clear. With True Balanced, you avoid the limitations that unbalanced signals can bring and instead gain access to sound rich in depth and nuance.

Easy setup with balanced cables and RIAA preamps

One of the most practical features of the X1 B is its Mini XLR output. With this output, you can connect the turntable to a wide range of balanced phono cables that match Pro-Ject’s selection of balanced RIAA preamps. Whether you choose Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B, you get a seamless connection and a fully balanced signal path from the turntable to the amplifier.

Precise and stable tonearm with impressive motor suspension

Pro-Ject X1 B's 8.6" tonearm is a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum, designed as a solid one-piece construction without a resonance-inducing headshell. This provides an ultra-rigid structure that ensures optimal tracking of the record groove and therefore accurate sound reproduction. The motor suspension is just as impressive. It uses a stainless steel bearing spindle, soft brass bushings, and Teflon mirrors that reduce motor vibrations to a minimum. Together, this creates a turntable that not only delivers outstanding sound but also minimizes noise and rumble.

Resonance-free platter with vibration-damping feet

Pro-Ject X1 B is equipped with a 1.5 kg acrylic platter that serves as the perfect platform for your valuable vinyl records. This heavy, resonance-free construction ensures that records are played with the highest reliability and sonic character. The three height-adjustable aluminum feet with damping give the turntable a solid base, effectively reducing the risk of acoustic feedback and ensuring that it stands completely stable on any surface.

A turntable that can be tailored to your preferences

X1 B is also a highly adaptable turntable. With fully adjustable azimuth and VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle), you can tailor playback to suit your exact preferences. Whether you want to experiment with different cartridges or fine-tune the tonearm, X1 B gives you the freedom to create your perfect sound.

Precise motor control with accurate speeds 

X1 B supports 33, 45, and 78 revolutions per minute, and the speed is easily adjusted with the press of a button. The sophisticated DC/AC generator delivers clean and stable power to the motor, ensuring smooth and precise playback no matter which record you play.
