Premium Tonearm
The Debut EVO 2 turntable features a premium 8,6″ carbon fiber tonearm with a
massive aluminium bearing construction. The low friction tonearm bearing
guarantees precise, stable and accurate tracking. Carbon gives the tonearm a
high degree of rigidity while keeping the weight really low.
The one-piece arm and headshell design prevents unwanted resonances and offers
a solid physical bond to the cartridge.
This superb built tonearm delivers an insane sound quality with a convincing
sound stage.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Correct adaptive anti-skating mechanism
As the skating force varies between the inner and outer grooves of the vinyl
record, our anti-skating me-
chanism adjusts accordingly.

1,7kg die-cast aluminium
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Heavy damped aluminium platter
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. Our 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.

Height adjustable damped feet
The new Debut EVO 2 stands on three height adjustable damped feet to guarantee
the perfect stand. By using 3 feet we are able to increase the stability on
uneven surfaces, because a perfectly level turntable is essential for real
high-end sound.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
The new Pick it MM EVO
The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge completes the Debut EVO 2 in all respects. It
doesnt only complement the lightweight tonearm sound-wise, it also looks stunning on the turntable. Our 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 Ortofons well known split
pole pins. This enables it to have a flat frequency response, which is
comparable to MC cartridges.

Sophisticated DC/AC power generator
In all our turntables, we use a “cheap looking” switch mode power supply. We
do this, as we use a precision DC-driven AC generator inside the turntable,
which powers the motor.
With this we create a completely clean new sine wave. This guarantees very
clean power which results in enhanced speed stability.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The upgrade for your phono setup
A clean and stable power is necessary for your phono setup. The included power
supply is already a good base, but we want to go further.
The Power Box S3 Phono provides power for the Debut EVO 2 and also a Pro-Ject
phono preamp. Its two outputs are specifically engineered to power Pro-Ject
turntables and phono preamps.
The sophisticated DC filtration can have a dramatic impact on the sound
quality.
In addition to the sound improvements, Power Box S3 Phono also offers its
users a cleaner cable solution, avoiding PSU and cable mess.
