30 years of experience in turntable design and manufacturing have led to this new model, Debut PRO, with an absolutely new design for Pro-Ject's more traditional turntables. An audiophile turntable in all respects, which in addition to the design, gives a sensational sound. It all started with the Pro-Ject 1 and later with its successor, the various Debut series, which revolutionized listening to music. These turntables brought back the love for analog products, a game changer for the vinyl industry. The "old" technology has returned and certainly did it to stay.

The Debut PRO is likely to be the cornerstone for the next few decades: a cult product that celebrates the great success of analog music playback and the return of true high fidelity to the home. It has already arrived in stock in the only available finish, satin black and news of a few days ago is the winner of the Eisa 2021_22 award in the Best Value Turntable category.

Pro-Ject, one of the leading companies in the hi-fi world, turned 30 this year (1991-2021), and certainly can boast of a long list of achievements. Since 1991 it has been producing high quality hi-fi products at a reasonable price, for the most discerning music lovers. The decision to start producing turntables was dictated by the fact that it has always been the "simplest" and most convenient product to start playing music in the home. The greater attention of the brand has always turned to both the materials and the technology used. The shape and design of his turntables have always been dictated by functionality. Over the years, the design has always been kept functional and clean, through the use of the highest quality materials such as MDF, steel, aluminum, glass and carbon. Plastic has never been used for various reasons: sound, durability and love for the environment.

Also in this case the result is a high quality product, with a great aesthetic impact, with a great sound but at a competitive price. After the revolution in 2020 of the Debut series with the Debut Carbon EVO, the Debut PRO still takes the bar higher. Pro-Ject has not only designed a new turntable, but also a completely new cartridge. And it really couldn't have been done better to celebrate the 30th anniversary.

Pick it PRO

Pro-Ject has always sought the best price / performance ratio, with perfect production quality and "Made in Europe". For this reason, it has been collaborating for years with Ortofon, a leader in the production of cartridges, to develop its own range. Thanks to Ortofon's excellent manufacturing ability, a special cartridge was developed for this turntable: the Pick it PRO. The heads are electromechanical transducers, where mechanical energy is transformed into an electrical signal. The real sonic difference lies in this passage. The turntable should just be as neutral as possible. The impact and musical quality should only come from the cartridge. The Pick it PRO was tuned with this belief and the resulting sound is lively, warm and dynamically convincing. The sound of the cartridge depends on the combination of cantilever, suspension, coil, number of coil windings, magnet, etc. It is not possible to judge a cartridge by considering only a part of it. The experience and the art of fine tuning make a cartridge unique and special. The perfect combination of components is essential to obtain a charismatic sound, like that of the Pick it PRO. Intensive research, development and listening tests were required to achieve the sound we were looking for.

8.6 '' carbon - aluminum arm

The Debut PRO comes with a tonearm consisting of a carbon-aluminum sandwich. The carbon layer gives the arm a high degree of rigidity, while the aluminum inner tube improves its damping. This arm, particularly stiff and damped, made in a single structure, ensures perfect tracking of the record grooves.

Adjustable VTA and Azimuth

Other important features of the new arm are the adjustment of both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). The height of the arm can be simply adjusted by loosening the two fixing screws (see photo). By adjusting these settings, you can adapt the arm to changes in height, for example, allowing the use of mats of different thickness or the mounting of other cartridges, to always obtain the best sound quality.

Nickel-plated metal parts

The nickel finish of aluminum parts makes their surface harder and more resistant. This process makes it possible to produce high quality, sustainable components, avoiding the plastic and similar materials they undergo inevitably a deterioration over time. The aluminum parts are first milled with CNC precision machines, giving the Debut PRO a classic, elegant and modern design at the same time.

Perfect speed, always

The speed is electronically controlled with precision and ensures accuracy and stability. Just move the switch from right to left to change between 33 and 45 rpm. In addition, a round belt for 78 rpm is also supplied, to be manually positioned on the pulley in case you want to listen to these LPs. So that no motor vibration reaches the head, the Debut PRO has the motor physically decoupled from the base through a new elastomer suspension. The balanced platter The heavy die-cast aluminum platter is precisely balanced for the turntable it will be used on. In addition, a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) ring is inserted on the inner circumference which helps to dampen all unwanted resonances and reduce wow and flutter to a minimum.
