Product details

The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo turntable focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable great: technically correct design, high-quality materials, and handcrafted in the EU. This turntable is built to last a lifetime. Pro-Ject has utilized its technology and experience from the past and aimed to incorporate damping techniques from high-end turntables into the Debut Carbon Evo. With advanced TPE damping and heavy sandwich constructions, they have developed this innovative solution. The Debut Carbon Evo not only looks good but also impresses with its perfect stance. It features three height-adjustable solid metal feet to ensure level positioning on any surface. With three feet, Pro-Ject was able to increase stability on uneven surfaces, as a perfectly level turntable is essential for true high-end sound. In addition to the ability to effortlessly change the playback speed at the push of a button, this is electronically controlled with the highest precision, resulting in the most accurate and stable speeds. The previous platter from Pro-Ject was already heavier than all others, but a metal platter also has a downside: resonances. The TPE technology (thermoplastic elastomer) helps to completely dampen these resonances and also increases the weight to 1.7 kilograms. Since the TPE is mounted on an outer ring, the kinetic energy also creates a flywheel effect. The result is an even quieter operation with less wow and flutter. The speed controller has been placed on the underside of the turntable to maintain the clean look for which the Debut is so well known. You will not find a switch, LED, or printing on the top of the turntable to ensure the luxurious aesthetic.

The Pro-Ject convinces with clean workmanship, a very quiet motor and a carbon fibre tonearm with Ortofon cartridge. The sound is finely differentiated.

Purist design. Powerful sound. Manual operation, belt drive. Inconvenient: The playback speed can only be set blindly, for shellac records you have to change the drive belt. Untypical anti-skating construction. Sensitive to impact sound.

With the Debut Carbon EVO, Pro-Ject delivers a perfect turntable in an extremely attractive price range. For 500 euros, more analogue sound and a better music experience is currently unimaginable for us. Moreover, it is very beginner-friendly and thus ideally suited for vinyl lovers of the new generation. But this record player will also surprise connoisseurs 100 per cent.

The emperor, the super-seller, gets new clothes. That could go wrong. But Pro-Ject shows its mastery. This is a great record player for a humane price. Nowhere a weakness. Even the difficult choice of the right cartridge can be called a success. Convincing in all values.

Even chronic complainers have to search a long time before they find something to criticise about the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo. What is listed under minus in the audiogram is irrelevant for normal music listening. Who jumps around in front of the player or pokes him indecently? For me, the DCE is definitely one of the best turntables in its price class.
