Pro-Ject 6 Perspex SB
Turntable

X Line

A high-end sub-chassis turntable that delivers technical excellence, The 6 Perspex SB takes the same proven design as previous 6 Perspex designs, but utilises a far superior motor to give vinyl enthusiasts an even more appealing high-end vinyl spinner.

THE 6 PERSPEX SB

This turntable stands out as a beautifully engineered machine thanks to the pristine acrylic plinth, which is accented by the striking sub-chassis, platter and TPE-damped aluminium coned feet, as well as the new motor. A huge upgrade from its predecessor.

THE BUILD

The turntable’s sub-chassis is made of Corian, a solid-surface material renowned for its isolation properties. This sub-chassis is then isolated from the main plinth by magnetic power, effectively creating a “floating” platform free from unwanted vibrations. The precision-balanced vinyl sandwich platter rides on the sub-chassis utilising an inverted main bearing, which combines a stainless-steel axle with a ceramic ball. The platter’s 4mm thick vinyl top layer is the perfect interface for a playing record, and eliminates the need for any form of turntable mat. The platter is finished with a threaded spindle to accommodate the supplied screw-able record clamp.

DRIVE SYSTEM

The perimeter drive-belt mechanism was inspired by the introduction of the RPM 10 Carbon turntable, which uses a fully decoupled motor. With the 6 Perspex SB, the motor sits within its own cut-out inside the main plinth, lined with damping material for reduced resonance. The motor itself is an AC design, which is regulated by its own built-in speed controller. This speed controller not only offers easy switching between 33 and 45rpm, but it also generates an entirely fresh new sine wave for the motor – filtering out the fluctuations and distortions associated with a typical mains supply, for reduced resonance.

THE TONEARM

The 6 Perspex SB is finished with Pro-Ject’s coveted 9CC Evolution tonearm for a truly high-end experience. The 9” tonearm boasts a one-piece conical carbon fibre tube, TPE-damped counterweights and an inverted bearing design that allows for perfect tracking and minimal resonance, even with demanding pick-up cartridges.

UPGRADE YOUR TONEARM

The tonearm is one of the most important parts of a turntable and therefore not only influences, but also shapes the sound in a specific way.

The all-new EVO and EVO premium tonearm ranges are the result of Pro-Ject's work from the last years, and they are proud to also offer new finishes and many additional improvements.
