Pro-Ject Xtension 9 Evolution Turntable
Description
Xtension 9 Evolution
The Best In Class: Superlative Vinyl Performance
Cartridge not included.
A piece of mechanical art.
Xtension 9 Evolution incorporates all our turntable design experience in a slimline size to fit standard audio racks. The chassis is made from heavyweight non-resonant CNC machined MDF. This offers us a solid and acoustically outstanding base to build a turntable as MDF has very little material typical resonances. We avoided hollow spaces in the chassis as these could have a negative impact on the sound quality. Choose from our various finish options, either luxury hand painted colours or real wood veneers.

Pro-Ject Xtension 9 Evolution is a high-end turntable with a dense, resonance absorbing MDF chassis filled with steel pellets that add mass and further disperse resonance. Unique opposing-magnetic feet decouple the main plinth from its surface. The feet isolate the weighty 35 lbs of total turntable mass from external vibration thus combining principles of mass-loading & suspension. Instead of a purely aluminum main platter, Pro-Ject uses a special alloy that is also damped with thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with a top layer of recycled vinyl for optimal record coupling. The final product subsequently benefits from a wonderful resonance-free, high-mass platter that runs ultra-silently on an inverted ceramic bearing (ball & plate) with additional opposing-magnetic force to eliminate bearing friction & rumble.
Xtension 9 Evolution features high-precision quartz-generated electronic speed regulation with microprocessor control (Speed Box technology). Absolutely clean AC power is generated, which is then fed directly into a built-in synchronous motor. Decoupling from mains interference, quartz regulation and a dedicated filter circuit delivers far better speed stability and smooth, undisturbed motor operation. Speed selection between 33 and 45rpm is as simple as the push of a button.
These high-end turntables not only use multi-density fiber (MDF, which absorbs resonance), but inside the plinths are also “central gravity points” filled will steel pellets. Drawing harmful resonance to the central gravity point all but eliminates the potential for plinth and bearing noise to reach the tonearm and cartridge. Pellets are used as opposed to a solid alloy due to their dispersion effect where a solid alloy may resonate. This design heightens the overall mass of these turntables as well, a well-known approach to optimizing sonics.
The Xtension 9 Evolution turntable ships with the adept EVO 9 CC tonearm with ABEC 7 quality bearings & a one-piece carbon fiber armtube.
Xtension 9 Evolution comes equipped with a balanced 5-pin DIN phono output and can be run balanced with either DIN > XLR or DIN > mini XLR phono cables and a balanced phono stage. The turntable ships with a DIN > RCA phono cable for maximum compatibility out of the box (unbalanced dual single-ended RCA/ground is by far the most common connection type in phono). Balanced add-ons are sold separately.
Superior Platter | Alu, TPE & Vinyl
Precision aluminium platter with TPE damping ring inside. The vinyl layer on top builds the best surface for your records.
Hi-Tech Feet | Magnetic decoupling
Three powerful magnetic feet effectively decouple the turntable & let it float over the surface.
Precision motor control | 33 / 45 RPM
The precision DC-driven AC generator powers the motor for enhanced speed stability. Easily change speeds with the push of a button.
Silent Bearing | Special technology
The heavyweight platter spins on an inverted ceramic ball bearing with a magnetic support to reduce bearing noise and resonance to an absolute minimum.

Magnetic main bearing
To ensure stable speeds a proper platter bearing is needed. The Xtension 9 Evolution uses a special technology. The heavyweight platter spins on an inverted ceramic ball bearing with a magnetic support to reduce bearing noise and resonance to an absolute minimum. Which this solution we are able to relieve the main bearing and ensure that the platter runs ultra-silently.

High End Magnetic Suspension Feet
Many turntable manufacturers forget that the feet are one of the most important parts of a turntable. Therefore, we wanted the best possible solution for the premium Xtension 9 Evolution. With its superlative magnetic feet, this heavy turntable literally floats over the surface. These powerful magnets effectively decouple the turntable from its below base.
