Pro-Ject Audio Systems, the world renowned manufacturers of premium hi-fi turntables, introduced the 2 Xperience SB at the beginning of 2015 to high critical praise. The new turntable took the best parts from previous 2 Xperience designs, but added some modern touches to elevate the performance to new levels. Now, at the beginning of 2016, Pro-Ject are introducing a new member to the 2 Xperience family.
The 2 Xperience SB S-Shape takes all the same innovations and improvements of the 2 Xperience SB design, but utilises a brand new S-Shape tonearm to give vinyl enthusiasts a more versatile high-end record player. The S-Shape tonearm is made of a special alloy of aluminium with very high internaldamping properties, for reduced resonance. The attractive bearing design allows for pinpoint mounting of the premium vertical race bearings, while the horizontal ball bearings are rigidly mounted yet easily adjustable. The rotational anti-skate mechanism is inspired by the anti-skate system used on the flagship Signature 12 tonearm. One of the principle benefits of the new tonearm is found in the high-quality detachable headshell.
The 2 Xperience SB S-Shape is designed for vinyl audiophiles who use multiple cartridges to suit different records (i.e. Mono recordings) or types of music. The ability to change headshells and cartridges also allows for a more optimal mass setting for each cartridge. A wide variety of Pro-Ject Audio Systems and Ortofon headshells are fully compatible with the S-Shape tonearm. The S-Shape tonearm is precision engineered and polished to a meticulously high standard, which strikingly contrasts against the turntable’s gloss black plinth. The sound stage delivered by the Xperience SB S-Shape is wide and deep, with a clear (yet powerful) low-end. The 2Xperience SB turntable has a large plinth, high-quality main bearing and thick, vinyl-topped sandwich platter.
The new precision motor is driven by an efficient DC power supply and regulated by a built-in electronic speed changer. So not only does the neatly integrated speed control offer easy switching between 331/3 and 45RPM, but it also acts as an AC generator for the motor to ensure a clean and stable power signal. An acrylic dust cover, silver screw-on record clamp and expertly engineered coned feet finish off the turntable to the highest possible standard. The 2 Xperience SB S-Shape really does offer something different in a package that you can trust.
