Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO Audiophile Turntable with Carbon Fiber Tonearm

The Debut Carbon EVO represents the pinnacle of Pro-Ject's design philosophy, delivering high performance, clean aesthetics, and exceptional value. At the heart of this turntable is a redesigned motor suspension that consistently reduces vibrations better than its predecessor. The new Debut Carbon EVO stands on three height-adjustable, damped aluminum feet, ensuring a perfectly level and stable platform for optimal vinyl playback.

The massive, TPE-damped steel record platter has been further improved, with the addition of a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) ring on the inside. This results in even quieter and noiseless operation, with reduced wow and flutter. Complementing the platter is an electronic speed changer and stabilizer, allowing you to switch between 33 and 45 RPM with the push of a single button.

Continuing the focus on high-quality components, the Debut Carbon EVO features an 8.6-inch one-piece carbon fiber tonearm. This super-stiff, yet lightweight design delivers exceptional sound quality with a convincing soundstage. The tonearm is factory-mounted and aligned with the Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge, which offers a replaceable stylus that can be easily upgraded to a Sumiko Olympia or Moonstone.

The signal from the Rainier cartridge is transmitted via a single run of high-quality copper wiring, connected to gold-plated output sockets. This preserves the balanced signal from the cartridge, ensuring optimal sound quality. The Debut Carbon EVO is supplied with a semi-balanced, low-capacitance Connect It E phono cable, designed specifically to carry the delicate phono signal.

In terms of specifications, the Debut Carbon EVO features a 12-inch, 3.7-pound steel platter with TPE damping and a felt mat. The main bearing is made of stainless steel with a brass bushing, ensuring precise and stable platter rotation. The wow and flutter specifications are an impressive +/-0.19% for 33 RPM and +/-0.17% for 45 RPM, while the speed drift is +/-0.6% and +/-0.7%, respectively.

The package includes the Debut Carbon EVO turntable, the factory-mounted and aligned Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge, an adjustable acrylic dust cover, drive belts for 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM, a Connect It E phono cable with an external ground wire, a felt record mat, and a multi-voltage power supply.

In conclusion, the Debut Carbon EVO is a testament to Pro-Ject's dedication to creating high-performance turntables that offer exceptional value. With its refined design, premium components, and attention to detail, the Debut Carbon EVO is poised to deliver an exceptional vinyl listening experience.
