PRO-JECT DEBUT EVO 2 CONTINUES PRO-JECT’S AFFORDABLE AUDIOPHILIA LINE

The next generation Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 is the continuation of a product line introduced in the late 1990s.

The Pro-Ject Debut is an icon of the audio industry. Since its original introduction in the late 1990s, many have enjoyed a Debut turntable as part of their analogue journey.

Now, their UK distributor Henley Audio has announced the new Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 turntable.

PRO-JECT DEBUT EVO 2 TURNTABLE

The Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 Turntable replaces the Debut Carbon EVO and draws on elements from the superior Debut PRO design.

Within its refined, minimalist industrial design, the Debut EVO 2 benefits from a new cartridge, updated tonearm design, new platter and an improved chassis. Shipping in September 2024, it’s available in 10 different finish options, including a new Satin Wine Red paint option.
