Premium Tonearm

The Debut EVO 2 turntable features a premium 8.6" carbon fiber armtube with a massive aluminum bearing block (like Debut PRO). The low-friction tonearm bearing guarantees precise, stable and accurate tracking. The carbon fiber tube is both highly rigid and low in mass.

The one-piece armtube/headshell design prevents unwanted resonance and offers an ideal physical pairing with the phono cartridge. This superbly-built tonearm delivers impressive sound quality propelled by immersive soundstaging with loads of detail.

Adaptive Anti-Skating Mechanism

As the skating force varies between the inner and outer grooves of a vinyl record, our anti-skating mechanism adjusts accordingly.

Carbon Fiber Tonearm Tube

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.

Massive Low-Friction Bearing

Smooth movement: the precise CNC milled aluminium bearing offers very low friction and best stability.

Massive Low-Friction Bearing

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.

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 our True Balanced technology. To use our True Balanced Connection, your Debut EVO 2 needs to be equipped with an MC cartridge or Pick it PRO Balanced.

Smooth Drive

  • Quality Motor: the high quality AC motor is mounted into a porper suspension system which consistently reduces vibrations.
  • Clean Power: 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: The belt decouples the motor from the big sub platter. This prevenrts motor vibrations to travel to the needle.
  • 33 / 45 RPM: 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 our 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 our Record Puck E (available separately) the puck’s weight will press your record tightly against the platter.

Why Should I Upgrade to True Balanced?

Balanced audio connections are standard among professional musicians, recording studios, and for live concerts. It is essential to have a stable and interference-free connection as these signals, especially microphone signals, will be highly amplified.

Cartridges are balanced signal transducers by nature! Due to the internal wiring of MM cartridges, you'll need to upgrade your turntable with an MC cartridge or the special Pick it PRO Balanced to access the entirety of that balanced signal. Together with Pro-Ject's new True Balanced Connection cables you'll be able to access high-end features that were previously only available on the most expensive of phono stages. And the best of all: any Pro-Ject turntable with RCA, miniXLR or 5P outputs can do it!
