The European home audio company Pro-Ject is well known for its vast selection of turntables and adding to its array of turntables, the company has announced the Pro-Ject XA B Turntable.
According to the company it applied its more than 30 years of engineering experience, which includes prior experience with the use of acrylic as a plinth material to develop its latest turntable. Pro-Ject states that besides the modern looks that acrylic provides as a material, acrylic also offers the company a material that minimizes resonances and other noise issues. The new Pro-Ject XA B Turntable utilizes a one-piece aluminum armtube that is said to provide high levels of rigidity, while the 10-inch length widens the tonearm’s arc, and it reduces tracing errors.
Explaining the design of the turntable in greater detail, the company points out the analog source incorporates a low-friction 4-pinpoint cardanic bearing assembly to support and complement the aluminum tonearm’s tracking. Pro-Ject emphasizes the XA B Turntable provides users with full control of adjustment parameters such as VTA (variable tracking angle) and azimuth to allow the turntable to accept specific phono cartridge choices from users.
Setup as a turnkey-type of vinyl playback solution, the new Pro-Ject turntable features the company’s Pick it PRO Balanced Phono Cartridge. Pro-Ject asserts this phono cartridge is a revised version of its Pick it PRO that reroutes grounding to send symmetrical signals. The advantage of this design the company continues, is it removes accrued noise and interference from the transmission line.
Pro-Ject notes that dealers can combine the XA B Turntable with the phono cartridge with its companion True Balanced line of cables to facilitate connections to its Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, or Tube Box DS3 B phono preamplifiers.
As a custom integrator, lighting is in demand. Effective communication, education and showcasing the value proposition of LED light fixtures in conjunction with integrative control systems are the keys to overcoming challenges and closing sales in this specialized market.

Some of the other features the Pro-Ject XA B Turntable employs include a 3.75-pound aluminum TPE-Damped Die-Cast Platter to enable the turntable to spin records smoothly without resonance. Further supporting the turntable’s ability to minimize noise and vibration are the use of damped, height-adjustable feet that Pro-Ject says help to isolate the turntable from the surfaces where the turntable resides.
In addition, the Pro-Ject XA B Turntable utilizes the company’s Power Box S3 Phono that can be used to power the turntable and a Pro-Ject phono stage with clean power. Pro-Ject stresses the Power Box S3 Phono uses just a single power cable to plug into a wall to help integrators streamline their AV system installations.
