PRO-JECT DEBUT PRO 30TH ANNIVERSARY TURNTABLE LAUNCHED

Pro-Ject Audio has released the Pro-Ject Debut PRO, they have designed not only a new turntable but also a completely new cartridge for their 30th anniversary.

PRO-JECT DEBUT PRO 30TH ANNIVERSARY TURNTABLE

The new Pro-Ject Debut PRO is constructed from precision CNC milled aluminium parts which give a modern simple design. The nickel finish of these components results in a hard, resistant surface. The speed is electronically controlled and you can change between speeds easily with the toggle switch. With the supplied round belt for 78 rpm, you can also listen to your shellac records.

PRO-JECT PICK IT PRO

The new Pick it PRO MM cartridge delivers, says Pro-Ject, “a more lively and robust sound”. It is manufactured by Ortofon and voiced by the design team at Pro-Ject. It is equipped with a special elliptical stylus tip. Attached to a strong cantilever, used in DJ cartridges, it is designed to be strong.

HYBRID TONEARM

The new Pro-Ject Debut PRO features a one-piece carbon-aluminium sandwich tonearm. The carbon layer gives the tonearm a high degree of rigidity, while the inner aluminium tube takes over the damping of the tonearm.

AZIMUTH & VTA ADJUSTMENT

The new designed tonearm allows you to adjust, both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). The tonearm height can be continuously adjusted by loosening the two grub screws. These settings give you the option of adapting the tonearm to height changes allowing the use of different turntable mats or other cartridges to achieve the best sound quality.

SPECIAL PLATTER

The heavy aluminium platter has a ring made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) on the inside that helps to dampen all resonances and thus minimize wow and flutter.

METAL FEET

The three height-adjustable damped aluminium feet guarantee the perfect stand and reduce risk of acoustical feedback.
