"Pro-Ject's X Series is the next evolution of the Debut series. The series consolidates the price range above the Debut Series with features found on Pro-Ject super high-end turntables (increased mass, high-end tonearm, isolation feet, quality cartridge) while maintaining the convenience of electronic speed control and a pre-mounted cartridge. The X2 B represents the top end of the series with additional upgrades in mass, tonearm length, cartridge, and mini XLR output with the ability to achieve true balanced sound." - TTL

ABOUT TRUE BALANCED AUDIO

True Balanced Audio refers to a superior audio signal that results in higher sound quality with nearly zero background noise, check out our in-depth guide here

True Balanced gear can be utilized as both balanced (with the proper components and signal path) or non-balanced
True Balanced Audio requires a moving coil cartridge (MC) or the Pro-Ject Pick it Pro Balanced MM Cartridge
True Balanced Audio requires a balanced audio cable (5-Pin DIN, mini XLR / XLR, or RCA > Mini XLR) connected from the turntable to the preamp

True Balanced Audio requires a preamp that accepts balanced cables; you can output either XLR (recommended) or RCA from the preamp
