XA B Balanced Acrylic -Turntable with Pick it PRO Balanced Cartridge

The Pro-Ject XA B Balanced is part of Pro-Ject’s premium X-Line series, developed for serious audiophiles seeking a sophisticated turntable with advanced resonance control, elegant industrial design, and true balanced analog signal transmission.

Handmade in Europe using high-precision manufacturing techniques, the XA B Balanced combines premium materials with minimalist engineering to achieve exceptional analog playback performance. The transparent acrylic construction not only creates a visually stunning appearance but also serves an important acoustic purpose by minimizing unwanted resonance and vibration throughout the playback system.

At the heart of the XA B Balanced is a massive precision-machined acrylic platter. Acrylic provides acoustic impedance characteristics similar to vinyl itself, helping suppress unwanted resonances while improving record coupling and sonic neutrality. The result is cleaner transient response, lower background noise, and highly refined musical detail.

The turntable features an advanced 10-inch one-piece carbon-aluminum tonearm designed to maximize rigidity while minimizing resonance. This hybrid tonearm construction combines the damping properties of aluminum with the stiffness of carbon fiber to improve tracking precision, stereo imaging, and tonal accuracy across the entire frequency range.

The included Pick it PRO Balanced moving magnet cartridge was specifically designed for balanced operation and optimized for high-resolution analog playback. Developed in collaboration with Ortofon, the cartridge offers exceptional detail retrieval, dynamic expression, and natural tonal balance.

One of the XA B Balanced’s defining features is its True Balanced Connection technology. In addition to standard RCA outputs, the turntable includes a balanced mini-XLR connection allowing fully balanced analog signal transmission when paired with compatible Pro-Ject balanced phono stages. Balanced operation significantly reduces external interference, hum, and background noise while improving clarity, imaging, and low-level detail retrieval.

The precision belt-drive motor system uses advanced electronic speed control for accurate and stable rotation. Combined with the resonance-optimized acrylic chassis, height-adjustable damped aluminum feet, and precision stainless steel bearing system, the XA B Balanced achieves remarkable speed stability and ultra-low vibration performance.

Additional premium features include fully adjustable VTA and azimuth settings, detachable high-quality phono cables, electronic speed switching for 33 and 45 RPM playback, and sophisticated minimalist styling that makes the XA B Balanced both a high-performance audio component and a striking visual centerpiece.

The Pro-Ject XA B Balanced delivers an exceptionally refined analog listening experience with true balanced technology and premium European craftsmanship.
