The Debut Carbon EVO features a new motor suspension system, decoupling the motor from the plinth to reduce the transfer of vibration. That is a challenge for any turntable designer to overcome as those vibrations can transfer to the tonearm and cartridge, negatively affecting sound quality. A perfectly leveled, solid & stable platform is crucially important for proper vinyl playback. Not only do the vibration-absorbing feet help isolate the turntable, they are easy to adjust and leveling the turntable is now as simple as can be. The Debut Carbon EVO benefits from the huge range of higher-level design elements Pro-Ject has to offer, incorporating the special TPE-damped metal feet from our award winning X1 turntable. The added rotational mass enhances the flywheel effect, yielding reduced wow & flutter and higher stability while damping resonance. The result is a heavier platter with minimal noise over an expertly engineered main bearing and sub-platter. The Debut Carbon EVO approaches this problem by using our proven 12” steel platter, now lined around the outer edge (bottom side) with an anti-resonant thermo-plastic elastomer (TPE). The main platter upon which the record is played should be heavy and non-resonant. The Debut Carbon EVO is supplied with our Connect It E: a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable with superior shielding designed specifically to carry the delicate phono signal. The signal from the Rainier is transmitted via a single run of high quality copper wiring direct to high quality RCA connectors with a completely separate ground, preserving the balanced signal from the cartridge output. No need to replace the cartridge, reset the alignment nor rebalance the tonearm. Factory mounted and aligned on an 8.6″ low-mass carbon fiber tonearm, the Rainier offers a replaceable stylus that can be easily upgraded to a Sumiko Olympia (or even a Moonstone!) in a matter of seconds. The new Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge combines superb trackability with uncanny accuracy and clarity without sacrificing smoothness. Vinyl playback starts with the cartridge, converting what’s in the three-dimensional record groove to an electrical signal. Should requirements call for a phono preamp, Bluetooth or digital connectivity, USB interface, etc., we offer a wide range of external electronics, optimized for any application. It is a pure, high-performance turntable. The elegant, simple aesthetic is unmarred by gimmicky lights, sliders, and buttons. The new Debut Carbon EVO represents the epitome of Pro-Ject’s philosophy: high performance, clean aesthetics, and superb value. Creating a worthy successor to the legendary Debut Carbon required rethinking and reevaluating every component and each design choice. Building a great & affordable turntable requires not only expertise, but also skilled engineering, flawless manufacturing, advanced material sciences, and relentless passion. The Evolutionīuilding a great high-end turntable requires design expertise. Today, vinyl playback has once again become the center of music lovers’ systems. The Debut Carbon exploded in the US market where the resurgence of vinyl was really born. In the early 2010’s the Debut Carbon was introduced, it stunned the high-end audio world by incorporating exotic materials such as carbon fiber, thermoplastic elastomer, and a cartridge with $100 retail value. We have continually improved upon the Debut formula, adopting new technologies and trends to ensure it was always the best option for under $500. The Debut made listening to vinyl an affordable option for music lovers, while its clean, minimalist aesthetic and premium finish options helped make analog fashionable again. After more than 20 years, the Debut is still one of the best-selling turntables in the history of Hi-Fi with close to 1 million units sold. We quickly scaled up production to meet the demands of a new wave of analog enthusiasts that the industry had forgotten about. The first units that came off the production line in 1999 were a runaway success. It should also come in a range of colors so it could serve as a centerpiece in any home. It must sound great, be simple in setup and pleasing to use, then exude quality while remaining affordable. We decided to create a turntable that could deliver true analog sound at a price that a new, younger generation of record lovers could afford. In the mid-90s, at the height of the Compact Disc, Pro-Ject set a goal: bring back the analog sound experience.
