Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Turntable with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge

The Best Turntable Classic 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.

Highlights

• 8.6” carbon tonearm
• Increased platter size with more weight
• Precision belt drive with synchronous motor
• New DC power supply with ultra-precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability.
• New TPE motor suspension
• Felt mat
• Magnetic cartridge from Ortofon 2M Red

The new DEBUT Carbon DC 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 a CARBON TUBE for the 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. 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 (utilizing TPE-damping) and ultra-precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability without unwanted vibration.

The Debut Carbon Esprit USB Turntable comes with Ortofon's 2M Red phono cartridge. The 2M Red Series features an improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5mV and a tipped Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire.
