X8 Evolution Special Edition
Metallic Gloss Black FinishThe Pro-Ject X8 Evolution takes a number of design cues from Pro-Ject's high end Xtension9 and Xtension10 models and presents them at a more affordable price point.
Utilising Pro-Ject's 'True Balanced Connection' the X8 is an outstanding entry into Pro-Ject's comprehensive line of turntables.

Pair your X8 Evolution Special Edition turntable with one of two premium cartridges, expertly fitted by our team before shipping — Choose from the Quintet Black S or Cadenza Red.
True Balanced Connection
Pro-Ject are launching a whole line of new “True Balanced Connection” components that feature a balanced connection for your phono setup. The X8 is the first turntable to feature this new phono technology.
Balanced audio connections are terrific for minimising noise from external interferences, and moving coil cartridges are themselves naturally balanced signal transducers, so introducing a balanced connector on Pro-Ject's higher end turntables makes sense. The vivid stereo imaging and inky black silences you can expect from 'True Balanced' are a true step forward for anyone who loves great sound.
Hefty 5.1kg platter
The X8 offers a heavy, TPE damped mass-loaded platter precision lathed from a single aluminium block. The Xtension 9 and 10 didn't offer the ability to experiment with different mats because of the risk of over-damping when used with those models' vinyl-topped platter. The X8 allows you to experiment with a broad range of materials to tailor the sound to your taste.
Precision Control
The chassis houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board which, combined with the convenient speed control board, delivers clean and stable power to the quiet-running motor. Switching speeds is controlled with the simple touch of a button.
