Debut PRO keeps things PRO-fessional Pro-Ject Audio Systems have more to add to the Debut series in fact lets call it a “statement” a massive upgrade from their first Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. The relatively recent release of Debut Carbon EVO was beyond successful but Heinz Lichteneggers wheels were still turning. The performance enhancements for EVO were indeed profound but there was more to strike while the proverbial iron was hot. The ceaseless pursuit for improvement attention to detail advancements in research development and manufacturing amount to a Debut turntable for the ages.
Pro-Ject’s new Debut PRO turntable is a machine that tackles the range of turntables at a retail price of $1000 or less. The Debut PRO turntable does so in several meaningful ways.
The composite carbon-fiber tonearm is also more effective at damping armtube resonance allowing the signal to pass through unencumbered. PRO features a sophisticated tonearm bearing block made of nickel-plated aluminum. Here again we see an exercise in rigidity while maintaining the ultra-smooth lateral motion of this high-end tonearm. The icing is the tonearm collar yielding the first Debut model to offer adjustment of vertical tracking angle. Azimuth is also readily adjustable. Listeners can fine-tune the full range of cartridge adjustment parameters to optimize the sound quality of almost any phono.
Improved motor suspension
The Debut Carbon EVO features our new designed motor suspension. We have improved the old design to consistently reduce the vibrations better than before.
Adjustable TPE-damped isolation feet
The new Debut Carbon Evo stands on three height adjustable damped aluminium feet to get the perfect stand.
Massive TPE-damped steel record platter
We added a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) ring on the inside of the platter. The result is an even quieter and noiseless operation with less wow and flutter.
Electronic speed changer & stabilizer
The rocker switch on the buttom of the turntable allows you to change speeds with the push of only a single button.
