When mounted with a moving coil cartridge and equipped with a 5-pin mini XLR cable, and connected to a Pro-Ject 'True Balanced' phono stage, the X2 B serves up thrillingly pure and precise analogue audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cem\u003eBalanced Signals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalanced audio connections are widely recognised in professional settings, such as recording studios and live concerts, due to their crucial role in providing stable and interference-free signals for heavily amplified signals. Similarly, when connecting your turntable to the phono preamplifier, it is essential to maintain a noiseless connection. One of the significant benefits of balanced connections is their ability to eliminate noise and interference picked up during signal transmission. Moreover, cartridges are naturally balanced signal transducers, making the True Balanced approach particularly advantageous since it utilises the full potential of the cartridge's signal. In contrast, traditional single-ended RCA phono connections discard half of the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cem\u003eX2 B - A True Balanced Turntable\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X2 B features both mini XRL and RCA outputs and includes our standard semi-balanced Connect it Phono E RCA cable. For a complete True Balanced setup, we offer a fully balanced mini XLR to mini XLR version (sold separately), combined with a balanced phono stage such as our Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B. This setup offers increased dynamics, reduced noise, and improved signal-to-noise ratios, effectively allowing you to hear elements of your music that were previously inaudible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cem\u003eHigh End Features That Aspire to Perfect Analogue Sound\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAzimuth and VTA adjustment - The X2 B comes with fully adjustable Azimuth \u0026amp; VTA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuintet Red Moving Coil Cartridge - The Ortofon Quintet Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth \u0026amp; is the perfect partner for the X2 B.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2kg Acrylic Platter - The perfect platform for your vinyl, solidifying low end and ensuring totally accurate sound reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed Control at the Press of a Button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew Motor Suspension\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its own, a high-quality motor is relatively low-noise. However, to maximise its potential, we have enhanced the motor's suspension. With the X2 B, the motor chassis is precisely balanced and suspended using a TPE belt that has been fine-tuned for optimal performance. By decoupling the motor chassis from the main plinth, we have achieved exceptional performance levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003ca aria-controls=\"collapseOne\" aria-expanded=\"true\" data-target=\"#specs-content\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" id=\"headingOne\" class=\"card-head pointer row no-gutters\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"my-3 text-sm md:text-base\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33, 45, 78 (electronic speed change)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003ePrinciple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebelt drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eSpeed variance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33: 0.25% 45: 0.20%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eWow \u0026amp; flutter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33: 0.12% 45: 0.10%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eSignal to noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003ePlatter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30mm thick, 2 kg heavy acryl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eMain bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003estainless steel\/brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eTonearm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9” carbon\/aluminium sandwich\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eEffective arm length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eOverhang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eEffective tonearm mass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13,5g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eTracking force range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 - 30mN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eIncluded accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15volts DC \/0,8A power supply, Dust cover, Connect it E Phono cable, feltmat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4,5 watts max \/ 0.3 watt standby\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e460 x 150 x 340 mm (WxHxD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"base:pr-2 md:pr-12 font-weight-bold\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section mx-0 py-8 lg:py-24 _last:pb-0\" style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrapit container px-4 mx-auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: block;\" id=\"description\" class=\"tab-pane\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRO-JECT","offers":[{"title":"X2 B GLOSS BLACK","offer_id":42309252218951,"sku":"PRO-JECT X2 B WITH ORTOFON 2M RED GLOSS BLACK","price":2929.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X2 B WALNUT","offer_id":42309252251719,"sku":"PRO-JECT X2 B WITH ORTOFON 2M RED WALNUT","price":2929.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X2 B SATIN BLACK","offer_id":42309252284487,"sku":"PRO-JECT X2 B WITH ORTOFON 2M RED SATIN BLACK","price":2929.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X2 B SATIN WHITE","offer_id":42309252317255,"sku":"PRO-JECT X2 B WITH ORTOFON 2M RED SATIN WHITE","price":2929.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0177\/0142\/files\/X2B-1.jpg?v=1766020507","url":"https:\/\/www.absolutehifi.com.au\/products\/pro-ject-x2-b-turntable-with-ortofon-2m-blue-cartridge","provider":"ABSOLUTE HIFI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
