Xtension 10 shares much with its big brother, Xtension 12. Designed with a smaller footprint and with a 10″ tonearm, it delivers much of 12’s performance in a more compact and less expensive package. Incorporating decades of experience in turntable design and manufacture, Xtension 10 represents Pro-Ject’s technological efforts to address mass-decoupling and resonance reduction. Beginning with the mass-loaded, magnetically-suspended sub-chassis and the precision-balanced sandwich alloy platter (recycled vinyl/alloy), the foundation of this system weighs in at a just under 50 lbs. Additionally, Pro-Ject employs magnetic decoupling feet to prevent mechanical vibration from disturbing playback. The mass and isolation create an environment of extremely low resonance allowing music to emerge from an ultra-silent background.

A DC-driven AC motor with a two-step pulley and electronic speed control maintains perfect pitch and rhythm resulting in inaudible wow & flutter. Further reducing noise and vibration is the isolated TPE mounting board for the 10″ carbon-fiber tonearm. The conical arm and integrated headshell are fashioned from a single piece of carbon fiber to avoid problems associated with standing wave reflections. Single-screw fixing of the armtube allows for easy azimuth adjustment if needed. The arm is fully adjustable for VTA and includes a high-performance, purpose-designed DIN-RCA phono cable (1.23m).
