Pro-Ject’s Xtension 12 incorporates decades of experience in turntable design & build. It represents their latest technological efforts to address mass-decoupling and resonance reduction. Beginning with the mass-loaded magnetically suspended sub-chassis and the precision-balanced sandwich alloy platter (recycled vinyl/alloy), the foundation of this system alone weighs in at over 50 lbs. Additionally, Pro-Ject employs magnetic-decoupling feet to prevent mechanical vibration from disturbing playback. This mass and its isolation create an environment of extremely low resonance allowing music to emerge from an ultra-silent background. An AC motor with a two-step pulley with electronic speed control maintains perfect pitch and rhythm resulting in inaudible wow & flutter.
There’s also a built-in spirit level to assist in setting the height-adjustable magnetic feet. Further reducing noise and vibration is the isolated TPE mounting board for the 12″ carbon-fiber tonearm. The conical arm with integrated headshell are fabricated from a single piece of carbon fiber to avoid problems associated with standing wave reflections. Single-screw fixing of the armtube allows for simple azimuth adjustment if needed. Additionally, the arm is fully VTA adjustable and includes a purpose-designed DIN-RCA phono cable (1.23m).
