Pro-Ject Xtension 12 Turntable
- A quiet running AC motor with a two-step pulley drives the platter's outside edge via a belt.
- Electronic speed change between 33 and 45 r.p.m.. Switching to 78 r.p.m. is done manually.
- The medium density fibre plinth rests on four individually height-adjustable magnetic field feet. A build in spirit
level allows easy adjustment of the chassis.
- The resonance-optimised platter is a sandwich construction utilising a fine-balanced and damped aluminium
platter weighing 5,7kg and a 4mm thick flat-ground layer of vinyl and a brass record puck.
- The magnet supported, inverted bearing uses a stainless-steel axle carrying a ceramic ball on which the ceramic
bearing plate runs.
- Central metal block optimises centre of gravity and damps main bearing.
- External power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference.
