Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 Turntable with Pick it MM EVO Cartridge
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 & 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: Super stiff and light-weight one-piece 8.6" carbon tonearm design.
Massive Low- Friction Bearing: The CNC-milled aluminum bearing block facilitates very low friction & high rigidity.
TPE-Damped Die-Cast Platter: The 1.7kg (3.75lbs) die-cast aluminum platter is precision balanced with additional machining after casting. This facilitates perfect platter rotation while playing records. The heavy aluminum platter also adds a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) damping ring & corresponding cutout on the underside, muting any resonance created by the metal record platter and contributing to the flywheel effect. Advancing the design, Debut EVO 2 moves away from its predecessor's steel platter and welcomes moving coil cartridges.
Height-Adjustable Damped Feet: The Debut EVO 2 stands on three height-adjustable TPE-damped feet for easy leveling & great isolation. By using 3 feet we are able to increase stability on uneven surfaces while minimizing surface-contact.
Pick it MM EVO Phono Cartridge: The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge completes the Debut EVO 2 in all respects. It compliments the tonearm both sonically & aesthetically. Our phono specialists teamed up with Danish cartridge specialists to develop this design. It uses split-pole pins known for achieving a flat frequency response that's typically only attainable with moving coil designs.
High-Quality RCA/Ground Cables: Cables cannot add any information back to a given signal, rather, they're responsible for allowing as much musical information as possible through to the receiving device. This is why we include our Connect it Phono E RCA cable. Optimized for phono applications, we've implemented quality metals & careful configuration to ensure lossless signal transmission.
