Debut EVO 2: The next generation The Debut EVO 2 focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable sound exceptional: technically precise design, expert craftsmanship, and handmade construction in the EU. This turntable is built to accompany you for life! What's New? Special Platter: The heavy aluminium platter is TPE-damped and anti-magnetic, featuring a TPE ring inside that dampens unwanted resonances. Bearing Block: The massive, precisely CNC-milled aluminium tonearm bearing block absorbs all unwanted resonances from the cartridge. Pick it MM EVO Cartridge: Lively and robust sound—The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge is the perfect match for the Debut EVO 2, offering an enhanced audio experience. Counterweight: We've added a TPE damping ring to the counterweight, just like on our high-end players, further refining the sound quality. Carbon fiber tonearm 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. The New Pick it MM EVO Cartridge The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge completes the Debut EVO 2. Not only does it complement the lightweight tonearm sonically, but it also looks stunning. Our phono specialists have once again teamed up with cartridge experts at Ortofon in Denmark to create this new cartridge. It combines several innovative technologies, including Ortofon's renowned split pole pins, which allow for a flat frequency response comparable to that of MC cartridges. Backside Beauty We believe in clean aesthetics, and not just on the topside. The Debut EVO 2 is the first turntable to integrate the RCA output box and power socket directly into the plinth, resulting in a sleek, cohesive design. Premium Connection The gold-plated RCA sockets on the Debut EVO 2 provide the highest-quality connection. The included high-grade Connect it Phono E RCA cable uses premium materials like a copper conductor to ensure signal transmission without loss. This semi-symmetrical cable has shielding connected only at one end, so the yellow-marked side should always be connected to the receiving device. With the RCA output sockets, you can easily upgrade the phono cable, enabling the Debut EVO 2 to support True Balanced technology. For this, you’ll need an MC cartridge or the Pick it PRO Balanced. A Throne for Your Records The heavy, 1.7 kg die-cast aluminium platter undergoes a precision balancing process to achieve perfection. It features a TPE ring on the inside to dampen resonances and minimise wow and flutter. The anti-magnetic platter also allows for the use of MC cartridges and supports our True Balanced Connection technology. For an extra level of damping and stability, the separately available Record Puck E is the perfect addition to the Debut EVO 2. The platter’s notch for the record label, combined with the Record Puck E, will ensure your record is pressed tightly against the platter for optimal performance. Reviews "Pro-Ject has a winner in the improved updated Debut EVO 2 turntable. It offers outstanding value for money and represents an excellent choice for anyone wanting a great basic vinyl spinner at an affordable price. This stylish turntable package replaces the old Debut Carbon EVO and improves on it in a number of ways – yet only costs a little more than its predecessor. It punches well above its weight and invites comparison with disc spinners costing considerably more." - Stereonet "Pro-Ject has taken a friendly, capable deck and furnished it with significant upgrades to make it a more sleek and engaging performer...the Evo 2 is a capable and likeable alternative whose lively, fluid delivery and lovely way with voices might just win you over. We can imagine many warming to its sonic presentation, not to mention the variety of colourful finishes available and potential upgrade options. At this level, it’s a solid recommendation." - What Hi-Fi
