Premium Tonearm
The Debut EVO 2 turntable features a premium 8.6" carbon fiber armtube with a massive aluminum bearing block (like Debut PRO). The low-friction tonearm bearing guarantees precise, stable and accurate tracking. The carbon fiber tube is highly rigid & low in mass. The one-piece armtube/headshell design prevents unwanted resonance and offers an ideal physical pairing with the phono cartridge. This superbly-built tonearm delivers impressive sound quality propelled by immersive soundstaging with loads of detail.
TPE-Damped Die-Cast Platter
The 1.7kg (3.75lbs) die-cast aluminum platter is precision balanced with additional machining after casting. This facilitates perfect platter rotation while playing records. The heavy aluminum platter also adds a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) damping ring & corresponding cutout on the underside, muting any resonance created by the metal record platter and contributing to the flywheel effect. Advancing the design, Debut EVO 2 moves away from its predecessor's steel platter and welcomes moving coil cartridges.
Height-Adjustable Damped Feet
The Debut EVO 2 stands on three height-adjustable TPE-damped feet for easy leveling & great isolation. By using 3 feet they are able to increase stability on uneven surfaces while minimizing surface-contact.
Pick it MM EVO Phono Cartridge
The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge completes the Debut EVO 2 in all respects. It compliments the tonearm both sonically & aesthetically. Pro-ject’s phono specialists teamed up with Danish cartridge specialists to develop this design. It uses split-pole pins known for achieving a flat frequency response that's typically only attainable with moving coil designs.
High-Quality RCA/Ground Cables
Cables cannot add any information back to a given signal, rather, they're responsible for allowing as much musical information as possible through to the receiving device. This is why Pro-ject includes their Connect it Phono E RCA cable. Optimized for phono applications, they've implemented quality metals & careful configuration to ensure lossless signal transmission.
Sophisticated DC/AC Generator
Our turntables use switch-mode power supplies for good reason. They take the unrefined AC power from your wall and convert it to DC. That DC power is then fed to DC/AC generator within the turntable, which in turn powers the AC motor. The advantage is that a completely new sine wave is created by the generator, fully decoupling your turntable from the dirty AC power coming from your outlet. This amounts to steady power being fed to the motor thereby enhancing speed stability.
Two Upgrades in One Box!
Clean & stable power is critical for phono setups. The included power supply is a great starting point but you can take it further. Power Box S3 Phono provides power for the Debut PRO B (15V) as well as your Pro-Ject phono stage (18V). Its two outputs are specifically engineered to power Pro-Ject turntables and phono preamps simultaneously. The sophisticated DC filtration can have a dramatic impact on overall sound quality. In addition to the sonic improvements, Power Box S3 Phono also offers users a cleaner cable solution (only one wall-wart needed for the PSU).
