2 Xperience SB S-shape - new turntable with S-arm from Pro-Ject

Written by

Pro-Ject has a large selection of turntables, and launches requent product innovations. The most recent creation is particularly interesting for many - an upper mid-range player with S-shaped tonearm.

 

 

Pro-Ject 2 Xperience SB was launched a year ago, as an upgrade of 2 Xperience. It was equipped with the tone arm 9cc Evolution.

The new model 2 Xperience SB S-shape has, as its name suggests, an S-shaped arm. S-arms is nothing new for Pro-ject. They already have the Signature Series With 3 models, in addition to the RPM-1 Carbon havings an S-arm without removable head-shell. We wrote about this player for just over a year ago.

The arm that sits on 2 Xperience SB S-shape is totally new, and is made of aluminum with a special alloy that according to the manufacturer should provide low resonances. Anti Skating  is inspired by the one used in the 12-inch top model in the Signature Series.

It is of course removable head shell on this model, and head-shells are compatible with Ortofon / SME mount.

This arm is so far only equipped with 2 Xperience SB S-Shape, but it is tempting to assume a it will eventually be available on multiple players. And as a separate tonearm.

 

The price of Pro-Ject 2 Xperience SB S-shape is set to be around 1.295 UKP
