Pro-Ject Releases Debut Carbon Evo Turntable
Turntable specialists, Pro-Ject, has released its Debut Carbon EVO, that it says is "the refinement of the most popular Pro-Ject turntable design, the Debut Carbon."
Pro-Ject's minimalist yet stylish design carries on with the new release. It features an internally TPE-dampened metal platter (with an increased weight of 1.7kg), three height-adjustable heavy-duty metal feet, a redesigned motor suspension system for vibration reduction and electronic speed control, one-piece carbon fibre tonearm, as well as many more improved features. The suspension employed on the new Debut Carbon EVO is said to use some elements taken from Pro-Ject's award-winning X1 turntable.
The new release comes supplied with a factory-fitted and pre-adjusted Ortofon 2M Red phono cartridge on the end of its one-piece, 8.6-inch tonearm and headshell arrangement. In the USA, the distributor is offering the deck fitted with Sumiko Rainier cartridge.
Pro-Ject's Debut is one of the company's best selling turntables, and indeed, one of the best selling products in hi-fi history, with a reported one million pieces sold. Renowned for sensible pricing yet excellent performance, there's good reason Pro-Ject are making a big deal about this new release. The company says "the perfected Debut Carbon EVO marks the most exciting and important release from Pro-Ject Audio in the last two years."
You'll be able to choose from a range of no less than nine finishes, including High Gloss colours including black, white and red, Satin finishes including black, white, blue, green, and yellow. Finally, a Walnut finish completes the range of colours.
The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo will sell for £449.00 (SRP) from September 2020.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
