1-Xpression Carbon Classic is the 6th generation of the hi-fi classic Pro-Ject 1, which was presented for the first time in 1991. No other entry-level turntable concept is more audiophile, and the current version includes a totally new carbon tone-arm with spin-off "EVO" technology. Its new innovative gimbal design features a resonance-damping counterweight, that gives the best performance for any cartridge. The improved belt-drive design uses a low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling, ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (comparable results to the Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability.

The complex main platter construction cannot be found elsewhere in this price range and is similar to our top of the range Xtension models. Advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) are used in a sandwich construction with aluminium alloy for optimised resonance behaviour. The platter bearing axle is made from low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless steel, running on a Teflon bottom in a bronze bearing housing. The main plinth is low-resonance MDF, which is effectively decoupled from structure-borne noise by special absorber feet that use TPE technology. As a special feature, this package comes with the outstanding 2M silver cartridge, which features silver spools for ultimate fidelity.
