Introducing the X8 Evolution Turntable
High End Mass Loaded Turntable with True Balanced Connection
The ProJect X8 Evolution takes a number of design cues from ProJect's high-end Xtension ( and Xtension 10 models and presents them at a more affordable price point.

Mass-loaded platter
5.1kg heavy
The X8 offers a heavy, TPE damped mass-loaded platter which is lathed from a single aluminium block. Meanwhile underneath the platter, a neodymium magnet offers opposing force to decrease the load on the ceramic-tipped bearing, ensuring outstandingly consistent playback of your favourite LPs.

Inverted bearing
Stainless Steel Spindle
The inverted platter bearing is supported by a neodymium magnet that decreases the load on the ceramic tipped bearing.
