Pro-Ject Xtension 10 Evolution

The magnetic floating system effectively decouples the platter and tonearm from the main chassis. By isolating the playback surface from external vibrations and motor noise, it ensures a cleaner, more stable signal with significantly reduced resonance.

The tonearm is designed to accommodate cartridges weighing between 4 and 14 grams. This broad compatibility allows you to pair it with a wide range of high-end moving magnet or moving coil cartridges.

No, the Xtension 10 Evolution includes a built-in Pro-Ject Speed Box DS. This allows for precise electronic speed switching between 33 and 45 RPM without needing to manually adjust the belt.

The unit is quite substantial, weighing 48.5 pounds, so you will need a very sturdy, level surface for placement. Ensure your audio rack or shelf can support this weight and provide enough clearance for the 11.8-inch platter and the tonearm assembly.

The sandwich platter uses a combination of Sorbothane and recycled vinyl to dampen internal vibrations. This construction prevents the platter from ringing or coloring the sound, resulting in a quieter, more accurate playback experience.

The 10-inch length offers a better balance between tracking error and effective mass compared to standard 9-inch arms. The carbon fiber material is chosen for its extreme rigidity, which helps eliminate standing wave reflections and ensures the stylus tracks the groove with high precision.
