WHAT’S TRUE BALANCED?
Balanced audio connections are usually known from the professional sector, like recording studios or live concerts. It is very important to have a stable & interference-free connection, as these signals will be highly amplified. The same applies to the connection from your turntable to the phono preamplifier. The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked-up noise and interference. And best of all, cartridges by nature are already balanced signal transducers! With True Balanced, you are simply using everything, literally everything, that your cartridge is picking up from the record groove. You are not throwing away half of the usable signal, like is done in typical single-ended RCA phono connections.
The X2 B comes with mini XRL and RCA outputs, and with our standard semi-balanced Connect it Phono E RCA cable. By upgrading it to our fully balanced mini XLR to mini XLR version (available separately) and using a balanced phono stage, like our Phono Box S3 B or DS3 B, you are fully set up for the True Balanced experience. This leads to increased dynamics, less noise, and improved signal-to-noise ratios. You can imagine it, like hearing parts of your music that literally were not there before.
EISA Award for True Balanced
Cartridges are balanced signal transducers by nature! Due to the internal wiring of MM cartridges, you’ll need an MC cartridge to access the entirety of that balanced signal. The X2 B comes with an Ortofon Quintet Red MC cartridge factory aligned, and together with our new True Balanced Connection cables and our balanced phono stage, you’ll be able to access high-end features that were previously only available in the most expensive hi-fi categories. In combination with our Phono Box S3 B and X2 B, our True Balanced concept won the prestigious EISA Award for best Vinyl System!
New motor suspension
A good motor by itself is already very quiet. To get the best performance out of it, we have improved the motor suspension. The X2 B‘s motor chassis is carefully balanced and suspended on a precision-tuned TPE belt – this way, the motor chassis is effectively decoupled from the main plinth for optimal performance.
