In 1991, Pro-Ject released the Pro-Ject 1 Turntable, a revolution in the HiFi world. The success of this extremely affordable high-end turntable - especially in the heyday of the CD era - was based on the following aspects:

The Pro-Ject 1 had no unnecessary, unusual features and was a purely manual turntable. These choices made the Pro-Ject 1 a turntable with a fantastic sound at an unbelievably good price. The X1 is based on the same concept as the Pro-Ject 1, but it has been improved by modern materials and production processes in every aspect.
This design is carefully tailored to receive the most important features at the best price. It's based on Pro-Check's years of experience building the best-sounding turntables without breaking the budget.
MDF is about 2-3 times more expensive than conventional chipboard, not to mention plastic housings. However, MDF chassis sound better and also feel more valuable.
The exclusive 8-coat finish with hand-polished surface is 3-4 times as expensive as simple foil stickers. The electronic speed control is another cost factor, but provides many times better values than conventional, directly powered AC motors. For even more performance, the engine is decoupled from the chassis with a new engine mount.
In the X1, the engine drives a heavy, non-resonant acrylic plate via a subtable and a high quality bearing to create a stably rotating platter.
The carbon / aluminum sandwich tonearm is far superior to other tonearm designs. This 8.6 "long arm is extremely light, stiff and fast, allowing for ideal tracking behavior. Also important is the non-removable headshell, which is integrated here from a cast in the rest of the tonearm. More elaborate in production, but sounds much better than vibration-inducing removable headshells. TPE dampers in the counterweight of the tonearm further increase the cost.
Azimuth and VTA settings are rare features and much more expensive than preset tonearms. However, these adjustments provide tremendous flexibility that is desired by so many in this price range and below.
In addition, the choice of the pickup makes a huge difference in sound and is also reflected in the price!
The X1 comes either with or without the all-new Pro-Ject Pick it S2 MM pickup, which was manufactured by the Ortofon experts and fine-tuned by the Pro-Ject design team.
The supplied Connect it E cable has been specially designed for the connection of turntables and phono preamps. Unfortunately, cheap RCA cables are often not good enough to transport the fragile signals of the pickup properly!
The height-adjustable aluminum / TPE sandwich feet are an exclusive and at the same time necessary feature to set up the turntable and decouple it from the ground.
The X1 has all the high-end features of a modern turntable to convey the utmost joy in listening to music. It is exactly this pleasure that we want to enable our customers and music lovers. And that can also be implemented with attractive prices. The X1 conveys a clear statement and is thus the counterpart to turntables that contain numerous features but save massively in sound quality. But all these features only last a very short time. And what good are you if you can not really enjoy the 20 minutes of a record because of the bad sound? The benefit of these features will last a second at most, while the sound of the turntable will last an incredible amount of seconds.
At Pro-Ject, we think that audio performance and high sound quality is what our customers are looking for, as it was in 1991.
The X1 is available in 3 different colors; a premium walnut veneer and a luxurious black or white 8-fold high-gloss finish.
