The Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 is your gateway to high-end vinyl playback, designed for ease of use while delivering outstanding sound right out of the box. With its premium components and meticulous construction, this turntable provides audiophile-quality sound for beginners and experienced vinyl lovers alike. The Debut EVO 2 is also highly upgradeable, allowing users to enhance their system as they deepen their vinyl journey. From its motor suspension system featuring a metal decoupling plate for stability, to the built-in speed control that makes switching between 33 and 45 RPM effortless, the Debut EVO 2 combines performance and convenience. Its precision-machined MDF plinth reduces resonance, and the aluminium diecast platter further enhances stability and sound quality. The 8.6-inch tonearm, made from carbon fibre, ensures light, stiff, and accurate tracking for pristine sound reproduction. FEATURES The Next Generation: The original Pro-Ject debut was released in the late 1990s during a time when CD was king and the vinyl format was presumed to be all but gone. Over two decades later the model still stands thanks to its enduring ability to offer exceptional value for money, class leading sound and timeless style. Made to Perform: The Debut EVO 2 stands out thanks to its premium carbon fibre tonearm. The 8.6” conical tube is super stiff and lightweight, allowing any attached cartridge to traverse the record groove efficiently, while also resisting any unwanted vibrations. The tonearm tube is mounted in a CNC-milled aluminium block with low-friction bearings. First Class Sound: The Debut EVO 2 is supplied with a pre-mounted Pick it MM EVO cartridge. Designed to perfectly suit the carbon fibre tonearm, both technically and aesthetically, the moving magnet cartridge was co-designed with experts at Ortofon, benefiting from the Danish company’s advanced technologies and production processes. Improved Drive System: The premium belt-drive system features an in-house designed and manufactured AC drive motor, decoupled from the main chassis by TPE, powered by a sophisticated DC/AC power generator. This set-up allows for clean and stable power, resulting in excellent rotational stability and minimal vibrations. Speed change between 33 and 45 RPM is handled by a discrete power switch underneath the plinth. 78 RPM speed can be achieved with an optional pulley and drive belt change, available separately. Premium Platter: The drive system is completed by the sub-platter and the heavy damped aluminium main platter. The 1.7kg main platter is die-cast and precision balanced, before being completed with a ring of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), to reduce unwanted resonances. The platter is also anti-magnetic, allowing for easy upgrades to moving coil cartridges in the future. A Stylish Platform: Structurally, the Debut EVO 2 is most recognised by its expertly finished plinth, available in six satin paint options, three high gloss paint options or a real-wood walnut veneer. The minimalist rectangular footprint has a timeless elegance, and is made of MDF for its excellent anti-resonant properties, which are further enhanced by a new machining process that recesses the RCA junction box into the main chassis for further reduced hollow spaces within the turntable.The turntable is finished by its three height-adjustable metal feet with TPE-damping in a sleek black finish. The result is a platform free from unwanted vibrations, ideally suited to record playback.
