Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO 2 Turntable

The Debut EVO 2 focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable sound great. Technically correct design – expert craftsmanship – handmade in the EU.

What’s new on the Debut Carbon Evo 2

Special Platter
TPE damped & anti -magnetic - The heavy aluminum platter uses a TPE ring inside to dampen unwanted resonances.

Bearing Block
The massive precise CNC milled alu tonearm bearing block absorbs all unwanted resonances coming from the cartridge.

Pick it MM EVO
Lively and robust sound - The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge tops off the new Debut EVO 2.

Counterweight
We have added a TPE damping ring to the counterweight as on Pro-Ject’s high-end players.

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK: 

Correct Anti-Skating
Adaptive skating force
As the skating force varies between the inner and outer grooves of the vinyl record, Pro-Ject’s anti-skating mechanism adjusts accordingly.

Carbon fiber
Super stiff and lightweight
The new Debut EVO 2 features the a 8,6‘‘ one piece carbon tonearm design. The super stiff, but lightweight tonearm delivers an insane sound quality with a convincing sound stage.

Premium Bearing
Smooth movement
The precise CNC milled aluminum bearing offers very low friction and best stability.

Backside Beauty
We love a clean look, not only on the topside. The new Debut EVO 2 is the first turntable where we included the RCA output box and the power socket into the plinth. The result speaks for itself.

Premium Connection
The gold plated RCA sockets on the Debut EVO 2 will always provide the best connection. The included high Connect it Phono E RCA uses quality core materials like a copper conductor for a signal transmission without losses. This cable is a semi-symmetrical type, which means that the shielding is only connected on one end. Therefore, the yellow marked side should always be connected to the receiving end.

Due to the RCA output sockets you can always change and upgrade the phono cable. This allows you to upgrade the Debut EVO 2 to Pro-Ject’s True Balanced technology. To use Pro-Ject’s True Balanced Connection, your Debut EVO 2 needs to be equipped with an MC cartridge or Pick it PRO Balanced.

Quality Motor
Sophisticated suspension
Pro-Ject’s high quality AC motor is mounted into a porper suspension system which consistently reduces vibrations.

Clean Power
DC/AC power generator
The power generator creates a completely clean new sine wave for the motor. This guarantees very clean power which results in enhanced speed stability.

Belt Drive
Precision belt
The belt decouples the motor from the big sub platter. This prevents motor vibrations to travel to the needle.

33 / 45 RPM
Electronic speed change
The rocker switch on the bottom of the turntable allows you to change speeds with the push of only a single button.

A Throne For Your Records
The heavy 1,7 kg die-cast aluminum platter gets reworked and precision balanced in an extra step to obtain a perfect platter. The heavy aluminum platter has a ring made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) on the inside that helps to dampen all resonances and thus minimize wow and flutter. The Debut EVO 2 platter is anti-magnetic, which allows you to use MC cartridges and upgrade to Pro-Ject’s True Balanced Connection technology. Pro-Ject’s separately available Record Puck E provides an extra level of damping and stability, so it is the perfect add-on for your Debut EVO 2.
The platter features a notch for the record label and together with Pro-Ject’s Record Puck E (available separately) the puck’s weight will press your record tightly against the platter.

The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge completes the Debut EVO 2 in all respects. It doesn‘t only complement the lightweight tonearm sound-wise, it also looks stunning on the turntable. Pro-Ject’s phono specialists again teamed up with the cartridge experts at Ortofon from Denmark to work on this new cartridge. The cartridge is made from a unique combination of technologies. One of which is Ortofon‘s well known split pole pins. This enables it to have a flat frequency response, which is comparable to MC cartridges.
