Turntable Pro-Ject X2 2M-Silver White

The Pro-Ject X2 has been designed to take analog playback to new heights, building on principles already applied in the Pro-Ject line. When developing the Pro-Ject X2, nothing new was invented, since the engineering base of the P1 (now X1) was already ideal in a number of ways. Pro-Ject builds on already proven technologies: CNC machining and modern materials science techniques to optimize each component for its function, heavier and stronger components for improved performance and build quality, and the use of high quality raw materials. The goal is for the X2 to raise the bar set by its relative, the X1 turntable. It is designed for those who appreciate fine details, build quality, high quality materials and standard audio performance. By adding extra mass, the X2 is even quieter, allowing for more detailed and accurate vinyl playback. Inside is a sophisticated AC/DC alternator board which, combined with a handy speed control board, provides clean and stable power to a silent motor system.

The X2 has been meticulously engineered to offer performance-focused features at the right price. Extensive experience with analog technology, state-of-the-art CNC equipment and ancient craftsmanship are reflected in the construction and finishes. Each Pro-Ject turntable is hand-assembled in Europe in an ISO 9001 certified facility and undergoes rigorous quality control and testing to ensure reliability for decades to come. The X2 has been carefully crafted to offer the most important features at the best price, all backed by Pro-Ject's decades of experience in building top performance turntables within a budget.

The Pro-Ject X2 turntable comes with Ortofon's premium 2M Silver cartridge, custom made for Pro-Ject turntables by Ortofon, and is ready to play within minutes of taking it out of the box. Also included is the Connect-IT E RCA cable, a low capacitance, semi-balanced cable with excellent shielding, ideal for music playback and optimized for use with a turntable. Height-adjustable laminated feet are an exclusive yet essential feature for leveling the turntable and effectively isolating it from the surface on which it is placed.
