Description

XA B

The XA B balanced acrylic turntable is a gorgeous, high-performance edition to the X Series.

 

 


 

Premium Tonearm

The XA B turntable features a premium 10“ aluminium tonearm with a massive bearing construction. The ultra-low friction 4 pinpoint tonearm bearing guarantees a precise, stable and accurate tracking. We use the one-piece aluminium tonearm tube instead of a carbon one, as aluminium complements the sound characteristics of acryl.

 

The full aluminium tonearm base offer you real audiophile features. It allows you to adjust both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). 

 

Adaptive Anti-Skating

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

 

Counterweight

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

 

4-Pin Point Bearing

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

 

Cartridge

Pre-adjusted Pick it Pro Balanced cartridge.

 

Anti-Magnetic Platter

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

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

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

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

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 Connection

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

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