The design is carefully tuned to oer the most critical
features for the best price and everything is put together
with Pro-Ject‘s decade long experience in making the
best-performing turntables without blowing the budget:
MDF is 2-3 times more expensive than standard particle
boards, not to mention a plastic chassis, but sounds and
feels way better.
The X2‘s luxury 8 layers of painting and the hand-polis-
hed finish are 3-4 times more expensive than simple foils.
Inside, it houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board
which, combined with the convenient speed control
board, delivers clean and stable power to the quiet-run-
ning motor.
This adds additional cost, but performs many times
better than a simple, direct powered AC motor.
For even further improved performance, the motor is de-
coupled from the main plinth using a new motor suspen-
sion system.
In the X2, the motor drives a new, heavy, non-resonant
Acryl platter via a sub-platter drive system and a pre-
mium grade main bearing for liquid smooth rotation. This
is the perfect platform on which to place your precious
vinyl records, guaranteeing absolute reliability in its per-
formance and sonic character.
The X2 is also better than its predecessors thanks to
the super-stiff, perfectly tempered Carbon/Alu sandwich
construction tonearm. This 9“ tonearm design is incre-
dibly light and stiff, with improved resistance to external
interference. Finished as a one-piece, with no resonan-
ce-inducing headshell, the X2 can also be set for azimuth
and VTA adjustment, offering the flexibility that so many
people are asking for, especially in this and even lower
price ranges.
The tonearm is then supplied with a TPE-damped coun-
terweight, further reducing cartridge-tonearm resonan-
ces.
The X2 is packaged to suit anyone who cares about how
their vinyl sounds. Supplied either with or without a pre-
mium Pick it 2M Silver cartridge, manufactured by the
cartridge experts at Ortofon exclusively for Pro-Ject
turntables, it can be ready to play within a few minutes
of unboxing. Also supplied in the box is our Connect-IT
E RCA cables, a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable
with superior shielding that’s optimized for turntable use.
Lastly, height-adjustable feet in their Alu/TPE sandwich
construction are a very exclusive but necessary feature
to level the turntable and effectively isolate it from the
surface it is place on.
