Xtension 9 Superpack incorporates all Pro-Ject’s turntable design experience from more than 20 years in a slim-line size to fit standard audio racks.

Xtension 9 chassis is made from MDF filled with metal granulate, that gives high mass and is non-resonant. Magnetic feet, which decouple the main plinth from its base, are combined with a weighty 16 kg total turntable mass.

With these two magnets located in the feet, the turntable is practically floating. The result is a unique combination of mass loaded and floating turntable design principles.

Instead of pure metal for the main platter, Pro-Ject have found a perfect alloy which Pro-Ject damped on with thermo plastic elastomers (TPE). Additionally Pro-Ject have placed recycled Vinyl records on top (which act as a perfect mat) and bake this sandwich before precision balancing it.

The final product subsequently benefits from a wonderfully resonance-free, heavy platter, that runs ultra-silently on an inverted ceramic ball bearing with magnetic suspension. The Xtension 9 Superpack includes a top-class high-end tonearm 9 .

Pro-Ject Audio Systems offers their high-end turntables with premium 5pin > RCA unbalanced arm cable or by request with premium balanced 5pin > XLR connection to Pro-Ject Phono Box RS preamplifier. Phono Box RS offers balanced phono inputs, what guarantees superior results in high-end vinyl reproduction with a balanced signal source.

NOTE: The signal source and the receiving device have to be equipped with balanced connections. Transmission of audio signals in a balanced mode reduce the influence of interference due to external stray electric fields significantly.

The Xtension 9 SuperPack is sold with Pro-Ject’s popular 9CC tonearm pre-installed.

The 9 tonearm boasts a one-piece conical carbon fibre tube, TPE-damped counterweights and an inverted bearing design that allows for perfect tracking and minimal resonance, even with demanding pick-up cartridges.

For added convenience, the Xtension 9 SuperPack is supplied with a removable dust cover, a heavy record puck for improved record hold and a high-quality 5P-RCA output cable.
