Let’s explore its features and why it’s a must-have for Australian music lovers.
Precision Engineering Meets Elegant Design
The Pro-Ject XA B Turntable is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Its chassis is made from high-density MDF (medium-density fibreboard), which reduces vibrations and ensures stable playback. The turntable platter is constructed from aluminium alloy, providing excellent rotational stability and minimising wow and flutter. With a weight of approximately 5 kilograms, it feels solid yet compact enough for modern living spaces.
The tonearm is a standout feature, made from lightweight carbon fibre to reduce resonance while maintaining durability. It measures 230 millimetres in length, ensuring precise tracking of your records’ grooves. This combination of materials and design results in superior sound clarity.

Ease of Use and Setup
Setting up the Pro-Ject XA B Turntable is straightforward, even for beginners. It comes pre-fitted with an Ortofon cartridge, eliminating the need to install one yourself. The counterweight system allows users to balance the tonearm precisely, ensuring optimal tracking force between 1.8 grams and 2 grams, depending on your cartridge preference.
Additionally, its belt-driven motor operates quietly, ensuring no unwanted noise interferes with your listening experience.
