Audiophile turntable makers ProJect expand their noise-suppressing True Balanced lineup with two new turntables, the X1 B and X2 B, but there's a catch.
European hi-fi audio equipment makers Pro-Ject Audio Systems has announced the addition of two new turntables — the X1 B and X2 B — to its “True Balanced Connection” lineup of products designed to bring an interference-free audio experience to vinyl-heads.
The cables that connect our turntables to phono stages, receivers, and amplifiers are susceptible to picking up all kinds of interference from our wireless and Bluetooth devices, appliances, and other modern electronics, and traditional RCA connections can send this noise through your system to your speakers. Pro-Ject is looking to combat that by bringing balanced XLR outputs that are widely used in higher-end systems and in the recording industry, to the masses.
But there’s a bit of a catch. While the Pro-Ject X1 B and X2 B are high-end turntables that are ready to go out of the box and can be connected to a standard system via RCA cables — each deck is equipped with a capable, pre-adjusted Sumiko Rainier moving magnet phono cartridge — you’ll need to shell out extra for that balanced XLR phono stage as well as a moving coil cartridge, and cables to hook it all up. And as we’re sure you can imagine, Pro-Ject offers these accouterments as well.
