The X2 brought the high standards that are set for a high-end turntable into achievable price dimensions. The pleasure in fine details, processing quality and the highest quality materials has remained the same with the X2 B.

The electronic speed selection spoils you with comfort when you want to switch between 33 and 45 rpm.
The heavy, dense and rigid MDF cabinet reduces unwanted resonances to almost immeasurable levels. Inside is a sophisticated DC/AC motor controller which, combined with electronic speed switching, provides clean and stable power to the motor system. The tapered tonearm tube of the slightly longer tonearm of the X2 B has a larger diameter and is made of a carbon fiber/aluminium composite material with optimum damping values. It has a high level of rigidity and an impressive lack of resonance. The high-quality tonearm bearings compensate for the higher mass of the arm and allow the arm tube to be moved with almost no mechanical inhibition. The cabling is consistently symmetrical with complete separation of signal-carrying conductors and shielding. An Ortofon MC Quintet Red MC pickup system is mounted and adjusted ready to play. This means that a true balanced connection is already possible ex works, for example with the Pro-Ject Connect it Phono E Mini-XLR cable and the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B preamplifier.
