XA B

The Pro-Ject XA B is a refined belt-drive turntable designed to combine precision engineering, effective resonance control and true balanced connectivity in a clean, understated package.

A 10-inch aluminium tonearm provides a rigid and stable platform for the cartridge, helping reduce tracking error while supporting accurate groove tracing across the record surface. Its construction is designed to balance low mass with effective damping, allowing the cartridge to retrieve fine detail without adding unwanted colouration.

The XA B features Pro-Ject's balanced mini-XLR output, enabling the cartridge signal to be transmitted in true balanced form when used with a compatible phono stage and cable. This helps reduce interference and noise, particularly useful with the very low-level signals produced during vinyl playback.

A precision-engineered platter and bearing assembly provide smooth, consistent rotation, while the electronically controlled belt-drive motor maintains accurate playback speed. Careful mechanical isolation between the motor, platter and chassis further reduces the transfer of unwanted vibration into the cartridge.

The rigid plinth and adjustable feet provide a stable foundation and help minimise the effects of external resonance and acoustic feedback. These design details work together to create a quieter mechanical environment for the record and cartridge.

Handmade in Europe, the Pro-Ject XA B offers a combination of sophisticated engineering, balanced connectivity and straightforward usability. It is an excellent choice for listeners looking for a modern turntable capable of delivering precise, open and highly engaging vinyl playback.
