This high-end Project 2Xperience SB Sgt. Pepper Limited Edition fitted with the 9cc Evolution Carbon Tonearm and Ortofon 2M Silver this turntable is a real performer that represent the cooperation between Pro-Ject Audio Systems and Universal Music Group/The Beatles. For the 50th anniversary of the extraordinary record “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and only a Limited total of 1000 of this exceptional record player have been produced.

The Project 2 Xperience SB is a high-grade audiophile turntable with exceptional technical and sound characteristics. Based on a long-established design and improved with modern components, it produces an astonishing musical performance that perfectly warrants the premium price point. 

Built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, this special edition of the 2 Xperience SB is supplied in an elegant walnut finish, accented by a striking print finish on top. Around the edge is a classic-yet-minimal border, inside which are two instantly recognisable logos. First, above the speed control is the iconic band logo for The Beatles; second is the unmistakeable drum kit design from the front cover of the Sgt. Pepper’s album sleeve.

In all other areas, the turntable is the same as the original, coveted 2 Xperience SB. The heavy, non-resonant plinth and sandwich platter make an ideal playback platform for vinyl, so the precision-engineered motor with integrated speed control (for automatic switching between 33 and 45 RPM) can perform optimally. Supplied with the High-end 9CC Evolution carbon fibre tonearm (rrp.£700) and a screwable and light-weight record clamp which eliminates unwanted record vibration and rumbling of the main platter bearing.

The audio performance of the final product benefits from the resonance-free platter, avoiding the ringing effect of common metal and glass platters. The 2Xperience SB is not only equipped with a highend tonearm, but comes with a pre-fitted Ortofon 2M Silver magnetic cartridge that makes use of silver voice coils. An acrylic dust cover is also included.

Limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, the 2 Xperience SB: Sgt. Pepper Limited Edition is the ultimate piece of memorabilia, combining a heady mix of technology, style and sound.
