Vibration-Resistant Chassis
Every aspect of the X2 is crafted to a premium standard, to ensure a sublime experience for all senses. The dense MDF plinth gives the X2 a solid feel that reflects its quality construction, while providing another line of resistance against unwanted vibrations that can spoil your music. On the Piano Black models, the gorgeousfinish is painted in eight careful layers and hand-polished for a lustrous feel that you’d expect to find on a far more expensive product.
Free-Floating Motor Design
The motor of the X2 has superb vibration expulsion. The motor is suspended on a free-floating TPE belt with no points of contact to the chassis body, eliminating unwanted vibrations from the motor through to the turntable.
9" Carbon/Aluminium Tonearm
Sporting a 9” carbon fibre and aluminium sandwich construction tonearm, the X2 tonearm is perfect for the vinyl enthusiast looking for the highest clarity. It is suited to heavier cartridges with refined stylus profiles that require very precise alignment. VTA and Azimuth adjustments are also on-board, giving you the perfect upgrade path for future enhancements to your X2’s playback.
Carbon fibre is popular in high-performance cars and bikes, prized for its incredible strength while weighing very little. That same strength-to-weight ratio makes carbon fibre an ideal material for a tonearm it is stiff (so the tonearm doesn’t flex or bend, which causes distortions), but light enough to respond smoothly to the movement in the record grooves. The result is a detailed, clear sound that brings your records to life like no other. Carbon fibre also shields the sensitive tonearm wires from interference, protecting your music from distortion. The addition of aluminium to the construction of this tonearm ensures the rigidity and longevity of your tonearm for years to come.
Push Button Speed Control
The X2 will play any record you have. Switch easily between 33⅓ and 45 RPM records with the X2’s push-button speed control, and even play 78 RPM records with a suitable cartridge and change of belt (belt included in the box).
Resonance-Free Acrylic Platter
The 30mm, 2kg platter of the X2 makes for a highly stable and consistent playing ground for the 9″ tonearm, allowing it to transpose the information in the grooves with minimal feedback or interference. More than just an eye-catching aesthetic feature, the translucent acrylic platter is a perfect companion to vinyl, making sure nothing extra is added to the sound so you can enjoy your records exactly as they were intended. The X2’s 2kg acrylic platter helps ensure smooth, accurate speed as well as further resisting unwanted vibrations.
