Pro-Ject Audio Systems has announced the latest edition to the Debut Series, the Debut EVO 2 turntable.
According to the European based home audio company, its latest turntable advances the design of its predecessor, the Debut EVO 2. Highlighting the Debut EVO 2 turntable’s features, the product uses the same tonearm bearing block & record platter as Debut PRO B. Pro-Ject explains that by moving away from the steel platter, it welcomes moving coil cartridges as one of many enhancements. The incorporation of the Pick it MM EVO phono cartridge, improved motor isolation and a new satin red wine finish sets the Debut EVO 2 apart and brings listeners the new industry-standard in value the company boasts.
The latest Pro-Ject turntable still features users’ favorite elements from the Debut Carbon EVO. Some of those features include an 8.6-inch carbon-on-aluminum arm tube, low-friction precision tonearm bearings, a sophisticated DC/AC power generator and height-adjustable metal feet. More features the turntable utilizes include gold-plated RCA connectors, and Pro-Ject emphasizes that it offers the Debut EVO 2 in a choice of various finishes that range from real-wood veneer to high gloss to satin.
The new model turntable is balanced-capable with the following requirements: a moving coil cartridge (or Pro-Ject’s Pick it PRO Balanced MM), an RCA-to-mini XLR cable, as well as any Pro-Ject phono preamp with a mini XLR input (Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, Tube Box DS3 B).
