X1 B: High-End Tonearm & Cartridge for Audiophiles

Precision Tonearm Design

The X1 B turntable features an 8.6” carbon/aluminum tonearm, combining rigidity with effective damping for precise, stable tracking. Its one-piece design eliminates vibrations from detachable headshells, making it an ideal match for low and moderate compliance MC cartridges. The TPE-damped counterweight further reduces arm-cartridge resonances by up to 50%, ensuring a clear and accurate audio performance.

Advanced Cartridge and Adjustability

Equipped with the new Pick it PRO Balanced MM cartridge, the X1 B is optimized for True Balanced signal transmission. The full aluminum tonearm base allows for precise adjustments of azimuth and vertical tracking angle (VTA), ensuring optimal performance. Additionally, the tonearm height is easily adjustable, allowing for fine-tuning with different turntable mats or cartridges to achieve the perfect sound.

Superior Connectivity

The X1 B includes the high-quality Connect it E semi-balanced cable with superior shielding to preserve audio integrity. For balanced signal transmission, pair it with one of the new balanced phono cables. The "Connect it Phono Mini XLR / Mini XLR" cable is recommended for use with the Phono Box S3 B, ensuring the best possible audio experience.

Quiet and Stable Performance

The X1 B’s motor is engineered for quiet, stable operation, featuring a precision-tuned TPE belt that effectively decouples the motor from the main plinth. Electronically controlled speeds ensure accurate music reproduction, with effortless switching between 33, 45, and 78 RPM for all your vinyl needs.

Elegant Design and Finish

The X1 B stands on height-adjustable, damped aluminum feet for perfect stability. Its MDF plinth is meticulously finished with 8 layers of hand-polished paint or premium walnut veneer, available in four luxurious finishes. Handmade in Europe, the X1 B combines high-quality materials with exquisite craftsmanship, making it a stunning addition to any audiophile’s setup.
