![]() Pro-Ject’s old suspension worked perfectly well almost all the time, but they have improved the old design to consistently reduce motor vibration transmission to almost zero. That is why it is important to suspend and decouple the motor from the plinth. As the cartridge and stylus are very sensitive, these vibrations can be transferred through to your speakers and cause mechanical noise. The motor in a turntable always vibrates, that’s just normal. Redesigned Motor Suspension: The Debut Carbon EVO features Pro-Ject’s newly designed motor suspension. By using only 3 feet they have been able to increase the stability on uneven surfaces, because a perfectly level turntable is essential for real high-end sound. Until now the Debut series was shipped with 4 dampened plastic feet. The new Debut Carbon EVO uses 3 height adjustable heavy-duty metal feet to ensure level positioning on every surface. The Perfect Stance: The old Debut Carbon had just one real drawback which Pro-Ject definitely wanted to improve on the new EVO model. The result is almost noiseless operation with less wow and flutter. ![]() Because the TPE is mounted to the inside of the platter‘s rim, the moving mass will also create a flywheel effect. If you want Bluetooth connectivity or a USB interface – Pro-Ject offer a broad portfolio of components at different performance levels to suit your budget.ĭamped From The Inside: The previous metal platter was already heavier than anybody else‘s on the market, but metal platters inherently have a disadvantage: resonance. Pro-Ject’s TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) technology now helps to damp the resonance completely and also increases the weight to 1.7 kg. ![]() At this level of sonic performance, it is always better to opt for a separate phono stage. This turntable is built to last you a lifetime!Īdditional features that might negatively impact the overall audio performance or longevity are left out. Technically correct design - expert craftsmanship - handmade in the EU. The Debut Carbon EVO focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable sound great. ![]() They still want to build an affordable high-performance turntable that not only looks incredibly luxurious and modern, but also features great sound quality. But Pro-Ject has done a lot of research to make the Debut Carbon even better, but their main objective has not changed over the years. The Evolution: The Debut Carbon is already nearly the perfect turntable, especially considering the price tag and the materials used. In the early 2010s, the Debut Carbon gave new life to the ongoing Debut revolution and now it is time for the next generation. Through the years Pro-Ject constantly improved the formula, moving with technologies and fashion trends. As it made listening to vinyl an affordable option for music lovers, with its minimalist aesthetic and premium finish options it also made analogue fashionable again. Today, after more than 20 years, the Debut is one of the best-selling products in the history of hi-fi with close to 1 million units sold. Thanks to their dear friend and Pro-Ject’s original product manager, Jiri Kroutil, within only a few days they had a sample and the Debut was born. They wanted a new model that could deliver as close to high-end sound as possible, but at a price that a new younger generation could afford. In 1998 Heinz Lichtenegger and his UK distributor and long time friend, Laurence Armstrong, were sitting together dreaming of a record player that would make analogue sound accessible to more people. The Debut History: From the middle of the 1990s, only a handful of years after Pro-Ject Audio Systems was founded and right at the peak of CD’s popularity, they could already see the growing number of people missing analogue music. And guess what, he has done exactly that with a number of very tasteful upgrades that further cements this turntable as one of the very best in its price range, and maybe a price range or two above. Owner Heinz Lichtenegger is one of the most committed and energetic people in all of audio and there was no way he was going to leave the Debut Carbon alone without finding some meaningful way to improve it. The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO turntable was inevitable. Oh, and there is also now a selection of Satin finish models for those of us who are, er, dusting challenged. With a heavier damped steel platter, better motor suspension, height adjustable metal feet and electronic speed change (!) the Debut Carbon EVO is a fabulous improvement on a certified classic. The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO is now surely the crème de la crème of sub $1K turntables. About The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO Turntable
