The latest version of X2 B ships with Ortofon’s Quintet Red low output MC phono cartridge. This brings you a step closer to balanced operation. All you need from here is a balanced phono cable & balanced phono stage.
- X2 B - one of the first of its kind: Turntables look back on a long history. As technology continues to progress, many things have changed, not only from the technical possibilities, also from the environment. Wireless networks are omni present and countless electronic devices make your home smarter“.
- True Balanced: Balanced audio connections are usually known from the professional sector like recording studios or live concerts. It is very important to have a stable & interference free connection, as these signals, especially microphone signals, will be highly amplified. The same applies to the connection from your turntable to the phono preamplifier. The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interferences.
- High end tonearm & cartridge: The X2 B uses a 9“ carbon/aluminium tonearm. The carbon layer gives the tonearm a high degree of rigidity, while the inner aluminium tube takes over the damping of the tonearm. The ultra-low friction 4 pin point tonearm bearing guarantees a precise, stable and accurate tracking. The one-piece design avoids vibrations caused by detachable headshells
- Mini XLR & RCA output: The X2 B comes with our high-quality Connect it E cable. It is a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable, with superior shielding.
