Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 Turntable

Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 Turntable

The Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable sound great through technical design and expert craftsmanship, handmade in the EU. This turntable is built to last you a lifetime.

Low-resonance platter for stable playback

A heavy die-cast aluminum platter (1.7 kg) with an internal TPE ring damps unwanted resonances to minimize wow and flutter. Its anti-magnetic design supports the use of MC cartridges and the upgrade to True Balanced Connection technology.

• Heavy aluminum platter with internal TPE damping ring
• Anti-magnetic platter design
• Precision balanced with a notch for the record label

Precision tonearm, bearing, and anti-skating

An 8.6" one-piece carbon tonearm is super stiff and lightweight, supported by a precise CNC-milled aluminum bearing for very low friction and stability. An adaptive anti-skating mechanism adjusts as the skating force varies across inner and outer grooves.

• 8.6" one-piece carbon tonearm
• CNC-milled aluminum tonearm bearing block
• Adaptive anti-skating mechanism
• Counterweight with TPE damping ring

Ready-to-play cartridge performance

The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge delivers a lively and robust sound and complements the lightweight tonearm. Developed with Ortofon, it uses split pole pins to enable a flat frequency response comparable to MC cartridges.

• Pick it MM EVO cartridge included
• Split pole pins technology for a flat frequency response
• Developed in collaboration with Ortofon

Clean connectivity and upgrade path

Gold-plated RCA sockets and the included Connect it Phono E RCA cable ensure a high-quality connection. The RCA output box and power socket are integrated into the plinth for a clean look. Users can change or upgrade the phono cable, including upgrading to True Balanced technology (with an MC cartridge or Pick it PRO Balanced and True Balanced Connection cables).

• Gold-plated RCA sockets with external cable choice
• Connect it Phono E RCA cable (copper conductor, semi-symmetrical; yellow-marked side to the receiving end)
• RCA output box and power socket integrated into the plinth
• Upgradeable to True Balanced Connection with compatible cartridge and cables

Smooth, consistent drive and easy speed control

A high-quality AC motor is mounted in a suspension system to reduce vibrations. A DC/AC power generator creates a clean sine wave for enhanced speed stability, while the belt drive decouples the motor from the big sub platter. Electronic speed change between 33 and 45 RPM is controlled via a rocker switch on the bottom.

• AC motor with sophisticated suspension
• DC/AC power generator for clean power and speed stability
• Precision belt drive decoupled from the big sub platter
• 33/45 RPM electronic speed change with single-button operation
