Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO Turntable - Satin Blue

The most-wanted audiophile design turntable with carbon tonearm and DC power supply!  

The first Debut turntable, introduced in the late 1990s, was a revolution for the hi-fi industry. For the first time after the arrival of Compact Disc and the assumed demise of vinyl records, an analogue product re-emerged in the “mass market” – something all music lovers could afford. The new DEBUT CARBON EVO) was designed to set new standards in this category for the coming decade – perfectly timed as analogue today is again a respected source, while the demand for good turntables is growing again!  

The most obvious improvement is the inclusion of an 8.6" one piece CARBON FIBRE tonearm, which increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance. This material normally is extensively used in high-end tonearms, but – because of cost reasons – was never used in products at lower price levels. Combined with the pre-mounted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, sapphire bearings, copper tonearm wiring and shielded termination box this ensures true high end sound quality. Together with other improvements like an increase in platter size and weight to realize even smoother rotation the overall sound quality is greatly improved. The approved belt drive design offers low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling (utilising TPE damping) and ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability without unwanted vibration.  

The DEBUT CARBON EVO is offered in Gloss Black, Satin Black, Satin White, Satin Steel Blue.
