THE XTENSION 9
Benefiting from decades of turntable design experience, the Xtension 9's structure uses a combination of the popular 'mass-loaded' and 'floating turntable' design principles. Most high-end designs tend to employ one of these principles, but the Xtension 9 uses both. It does this by placing the high-mass, anti-resonant main chassis on three powerful magnetic feet, effectively "floating" the turntable above the stand on which it sits.
DRIVE SYSTEM
Operation of the Xtension 9 is made effortlessly simple by the integrated speed control. Providing a clean, regulated power signal to the high-grade motor, the built-in speed control allows for easy switching between 33 and 45 RPM speeds.
THE PRECISION-BALANCED PLATTER
The precision-balanced platter used on the Xtension 9 is made from a purpose-chosen metal alloy, which has then been internally lined with a Thermo-Plastic Elastomer (TPE) compound. The top of the platter is finished with recycled vinyl records, which acts as the perfect playback platform for the playing record - without the need for an extra mat. The result is a resonance-free platter, which runs ultra-silently on an inverted ceramic ball-bearing thanks to some added magnetic isolation.
THE TONEARM
The Xtension 9 is sold with Pro-Ject's popular 9CC Evolution tonearm pre-installed. The 9” tonearm boasts a one-piece conical carbon fibre tube, TPE-damped counterweights and an inverted bearing design that allows for perfect tracking and minimal resonance, even with demanding pick-up cartridges. However, for those looking to tweak their style or sounds, the Pro-Ject Configurator tool allows pick picking and choosing components to your preference.
ACCESSORIES
For added convenience, the Xtension 9 is supplied with a removable dust cover, a heavy record puck for improved record hold and a high-quality 5P-RCA output cable.
FINISHES
This high-end hi-fi turntable comes in an array of beautiful finish options including black, olive and mahogany.
