The Pro-Ject Debut PRO vinyl player is the result of over 30 years of Pro-Ject's expertise in crafting exceptional analog technology. The turntable's tonearm is capable of adjusting both the VTA and azimuth angles to accommodate different cartridges. The Debut PRO comes equipped with the groundbreaking Pick It PRO MM cartridge, which industry experts have praised as an innovative leap forward for the next decade. In fact, the Debut PRO has already been awarded the prestigious "Product of the Year" at the EISA 2021/2022 awards, earning the title of "Best Vinyl Player".
Every detail of the Debut PRO reflects 30 years of experience. The chassis is meticulously crafted from high-quality MDF to ensure optimal vibration isolation. The chassis undergoes an 8-layer coating process, meticulously applied by hand at the factory. This not only enhances the player's durability against mechanical damage, but also gives it an exquisite appearance. Additionally, the metal components of the player's construction are coated with nickel for maximum reliability, a first for the company's designers. The Debut PRO can be easily leveled on any surface thanks to its adjustable metal feet. The package includes a premium phono cable with gold-plated RCA connectors to ensure accurate transmission of the sound signal.
The Debut PRO features an 8.6-inch carbon and aluminum tonearm. The carbon layer provides exceptional rigidity, while the internal aluminum tube acts as a damper. This combination of materials guarantees precise tracking of the needle within the vinyl groove. Furthermore, the Pro-Ject Debut PRO tonearm allows for azimuth and vertical tracking angle (VTA) adjustments, catering to the specific needs of the installed cartridge.
The player is accompanied by the pre-installed Pick It PRO MM cartridge, a joint development by Pro-Ject and Ortofon, the renowned Danish manufacturer. Experts from both companies conducted extensive research and development, incorporating iterative listening sessions throughout the design process of the Pick It PRO cartridge.
The Debut PRO's aluminum platter is manufactured using pressure die-casting and meticulously balanced to ensure stable rotation. The platter material enables the use of MC cartridges, and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) ring is applied to the inner side to effectively dampen unwanted vibrations and resonances. This approach enhances the platter's mass, resulting in smoother rotation.
The Pro-Ject Debut PRO's in-house developed electronic circuitry guarantees the accuracy and stability of the record's rotation. Switching between 33 1/3 and 45 revolutions per minute is as simple as toggling a miniature switch. Pro-Ject engineers have utilized a tried-and-tested chassis decoupling design to eliminate any potential sound distortions.
