OVERVIEW:

Expressive sound, classic looks:

Job one for any turntable is to provide smooth and stable rotation for your records. Pro-Ject's 1Xpression Carbon delivers in spades. This solid, refined player quietly maintains accurate playback speed with minimal wow and flutter, letting the music flow from your LPs with realism and clarity. You'll experience a wide, deep soundstage with instruments and vocals that fill the room. Careful design and beefy construction give the 1Xpression Carbon excellent isolation from vibration, creating silent backgrounds and powerful dynamics.

This turntable's agile, low-mass carbon fiber arm tracks your albums with tenacity.

Precision-built for high performance:

The 1Xpression Carbon boasts a high-performance, one-piece carbon fiber tonearm that helps reduce unwanted resonance that can color sound. The arm's innovative low-friction gimbal bearing features a resonance-damping counterweight, and offers excellent compatibility with future cartridge upgrades. A damped, heavy steel platter provides excellent speed stability as it spins on a precision chrome-plated stainless steel and bronze bearing for smooth rotation and ultra-quiet operation.

The decoupled, sorbothane-damped motor mount and belt drive system physically isolate vibration from the chassis to prevent motor noise from being audible through your sound system. An external power supply helps reduce the chance of hum and noise, and features an ultra-precise, DC-driven AC generator for enhanced speed accuracy. Finally, the 1Xpression Carbon's MDF chassis rests on damped cone feet for a solid, low-resonance foundation.

Get the best sound without the hassle:

One of the great things about vinyl records is that they force you to slow down and become more actively involved in the process of listening. But Pro-Ject's 1Xpression Carbon won't slow you down much, because of its hassle-free plug 'n' play design. Pro-Ject knows that turntable setup can be a challenge for the novice. That's why this 'table comes out of the box virtually ready to play. Its factory-mounted tonearm and phono cartridge take the guesswork out of getting started, so you can enjoy optimized sound quality with minimal effort. A few minutes to dial in key settings like tracking force, anti-skating, and platter speed are all that's needed to experience the superior performance that's waiting for you on your favorite records.
