Continuing with his promise to expand the musicality of your turntables by adding the innovative balanced transmission In phono, Pro-Ject Audio Systems has just launched a new vinyl player compatible with it: the 6 PerspeX Balanced. An aesthetic in which a beautiful plinth (base/chassis) of transparent methacrylate of great thickness and opulence of the reading arm, constitutes the letter of presentation of a product defined by its creators as Genuinely High End. Of course, the first aspect to point out about this distinguished turntable is its compatibility with signal transmission “True Balanced Connection”, for which it incorporates a 5-pin XLR output jack and, if the buyer so wishes, a pickup capsule moving coil (its operating principle fits perfectly with the benefits of the symmetrical connection) Pro-Ject Pick it MC3.
Regarding the vinyl player itself, the 6 PerspeX Balanced mounts a Corian subframe (a synthetic material characterized by its high resistance and thermoformability) with magnetic suspension that maximizes isolation from the surrounding environment, in order to ensure a capture as faithful as possible of the microinformation contained in the disc groove. Also contributing to this is the elaborate plate constructionwhere a MDF sandwich structure acoustically inert minimizes, with the extra help of a thin layer of vinyl, possible colorations during the reading process. As is the norm at Pro-Ject, this new turntable uses belt drive via alternating current motor excited by a direct current generator, the available speeds being 33 and 45 rpm, both electronically controlled.
Regarding the fundamental turning system, it includes a inverted bearing with ceramic ball with the aim of guarantee a virtual absence of friction, while the reading arm, equipped with high precision bearing rings (ABEC 7), is the advanced EVO 9 CC, designed and built entirely by Pro-Ject in its own facilities. Let us finally note that the 6 PerspeX Balanced, whose performance can be improved even further by adding a power supply optional external Power Box S3 Phono, is handmade in europe and will perform 100% in the company of any of the Austrian firm’s balanced phono preamplifiers, from the affordable Phono Box S3 B to the sophisticated Phono Box DS3 B and Tube Box DS3 B.
