Turntable Pro-Ject XTENSION 12 (with Ortofon RS 309D) (n/c)

The twenty-kilogram luxurious case is made of MDF, finished with natural veneer and covered with glossy varnish. The damping material is metal granulate filler. Adjustable magnetic feet. A liquid bubble level is built into the base, this allows you to most accurately adjust the position of the player relative to the surface where it is installed. The 5.7kg platter is incredibly balanced, internally damped with sorbotan and made from a special aluminum alloy. The vinyl mat has a thickness of 4 mm, to reliably protect the record from contamination and reduce vibration. Smooth rotation and reduced load on the bearing are facilitated by a magnetic suspension system, a lining and a ceramic ball built into the bearing.

The support disc is driven by a belt drive from a synchronous motor, which is installed through anti-vibration sorbonate gaskets. A rubber belt ties the platter, which surrounds it on the outer edge, to the pulleys of a powerful, ultra-low-noise electric motor. The quartz device Speed Box SE, integrated into the body of the turntable, selects between speeds of 33.3 and 45 rpm electronically. To determine the indicators of the currently used speed, a display was built into the case. Three buttons are used to switch the speed and fine-tune. The Speed Change button works together to turn on the turntable. To play at 78 rpm, the belt is manually reinstalled in place of the pulley with a larger diameter.

The base for attaching the tonearm received a gasket made of sorbotane. Thanks to this, vibrations and resonances are eliminated, accurate reading of the sound groove of a vinyl disc by an installed pickup. The kit includes one of two 12" Pro-Ject 12cc Evolution or Ortofon RS-309D tonearms, dust cover, Connect it 5P-C cable (5 pin DIN - 2RCA), brass pressure clamp. The external AC adapter acts as a power supply.
