Pro-ject Audio Systems - USA XA B

A clear view

For 33 years we have been developing turntables which focus on sound and not on features, and we are never afraid of experiments to achieve an even better sound.

We have crafted a beautiful acrylic entry-level record player for the X-Series. This player shares features of its more expensive brethren while maintaining an extremely light look. The technical parts seem to be floating atop an almost invisible slab of acrylic. Top that off with True Balanced Connection capabilities and you got yourself a truly ethereal player!

A Clear Line In Sight

Adaptive anti-skating

Technically correct

As the skating force varies between the inner and outer grooves of the vinyl record, our anti-skating mechanism adjusts accordingly.

Counterweight

TPE damped

The TPE insert decouples the counterweight from the tonearm and reduces resonances.

4 pin point bearing

Cardan ultra-low friction

The precise cardanic tonearm bearing with 4 stainless steel tips offers very low friction and best stability.

A Clear View to High-End

Pick it PRO Balanced

Ready for True Balanced Connection

Pre-adjusted Pick it Pro Balanced cartridge

Aluminium Platter

Anti-Magnetic

The heavy 1,7kg die-cast aluminum platter gets reworked and precision balanced in an extra step to obtain a perfect platter.

Record Puck E

Damping and stability

Record pucks use weight to secure a playing vinyl record against the turntable platter. Sound performance will improve in timing and depth of sound.

33/45 RPM

Sophisticated DC/AC power generator

The playback speeds are electronically controlled with precision, which guarantees the most accurate and stable music reproduction. Change between speeds easily with the toggle switch.

Acrylic Chassis

A clear view

The development of an acrylic turntable is more complex, but we accepted the challenge once again. The result is a wonderful sounding & looking, but still affordable turntable.

Height Adjustable Feet

Damped & height adjustable

The new XA B stands on three height adjustable damped feet to guarantee the perfect stand. By using 3 feet we are able to increase the stability on uneven surfaces, because a perfectly level turntable is essential for real high-end sound.

True Balanced

Unleash the full power

The XA B is ready for our new True Balanced Connection. Single-ended RCA connections, quite literally, only use half of your cartridge's output. With one of our new True Balanced phono cables wired to a Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, Phono Box RS or RS2 you'll be able to hear your MC cartridge in its entirety!

Handmade in EU

Since 1991

Made in Europe by a turntable factory with decades of experience. Clearly, expert craftsmanship dwells deep within the XA B.
