Debut EVO 2 – What’s New

The Debut EVO 2 turntable takes the torch passed along by Debut Carbon EVO, and it’s dressed to impress. The following changes are onboard…

Improved Tonearm Bearing Block & Counterweight

The tonearm pivot assembly might look familiar. It now uses the same bearing block as Debut PRO B. The additional mass draws unwanted resonance away from the armtube & cartridge. It also provides a more stable anchor for the tonearm’s pivot. The anti-skating scale at attached to the bearing block too, making it quite a bit easier to work with. We reduce resonance to an even greater degree with a TPE-damped counterweight. These improvements along with the carbon fiber tube & ABEC 7 ball/race bearing provide effortless tracking with no friction, allowing all the micro-detail through.

Pick it MM EVO Phono Cartridge

With a hearty 7mV output, Pro-Ject’s new moving magnet cartridge has been tweaked specifically to sound great on the Debut EVO 2. Working in tandem with the Danish cartridge experts at Ortofon, Pick it MM EVO transcribes music with immediacy, speed & ‘slam.’ The cartridge’s sonic signature homogenizes harmoniously with Debut EVO 2’s more neutral & transparent underlay.

Fit & Finish

The audio junction box is now flush with the bottom of the MDF plinth for a cleaner aesthetic. We’ve also added the alluring new ‘Red Wine’ finish to the satin-painted offerings. All other finishes remain intact. Satin finishes are ‘red wine,’ black, blue, green, white, yellow & real-Walnut wood veneer. Gloss finishes are black, white & red. All painted finishes are done by hand using an 8-coat process before finishing.

Audiophile Carbon Fiber Tonearm

Pro-Ject was the first manufacturer to produce a carbon fiber tonearm for a ‘table costing less than $1000 (the original Debut Carbon). The Debut EVO 2 features a premium 8.6″ carbon fiber armtube with a massive aluminum bearing block that draws resonance away from the cartridge. The ABEC-7-rated main tonearm ball/race bearing guarantees precise, stable and accurate tracking across a record side. The gimbal bearing uses 2 lateral stainless steel tips & thrust pads for smooth motion in the vertical plane. The carbon fiber tube is highly rigid, relatively light & anti-resonant in nature. The one-piece armtube/headshell design further prevents unwanted resonance and offers an ideal physical pairing with the supplied phono cartridge.

‘Adaptive anti-skating’ means that the anti-skate force increases across a record side. Due to progressively varying conditions from the outer to inner record grooves, skating force itself too increases as the arm traverses the record. Viewed thusly, it only makes sense that a decent anti-skating system adapts with it.

Sophisticated DC/AC Generator

Our turntables use switch-mode power supplies for good reason. They take the unrefined AC power from your wall and convert it to DC. That DC power is then fed to a DC/AC generator within the turntable, which in turn powers the AC motor. The advantage is that a completely new sine wave is created by the generator, fully decoupling your turntable from the dirty AC power coming from your outlet. This amounts to steady power being fed to the motor thereby enhancing speed stability.

Sweet Isolation Feet

Decent isolation feet are imperative to the performance of a hi-fi turntable. They’re responsible for preventing all manner of external vibration & resonance from getting back to the highly-sensitive phono cartridge. We use 3 height-adjustable feet for easy leveling & optimal stability on any surface. The metal columns are CNC-machined with cutouts for and Damp it isolation pods. The pods are made of a purpose-selected variety of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). They’re highly effective at absorbing everything from footfall vibration to resonance created by your speakers.
