”Pro-Ject’s latest Debut turntable is a delight to listen to.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.

Putting great sound first

Following on from the award-winning Debut Carbon, the Debut Carbon EVO takes the best in its class and makes it better. With a heavier platter, new motor suspension and improved damping, the sound quality is better than ever. Height adjustable feet make it easier to get the deck perfectly level, while electronic speed control adds to the convenience factor. A wide range of new finishes completes the thorough evolution of a classic.

Better damped for quieter, noiseless operation
The Debut Carbon has always used a dense, MDF plinth for low resonance, low distortion sound. The new EVO model features a heavier platter with incorporated TPE damping. The result is even better damping, giving lower background noise, enhanced detail and a more lifelike sound quality.

Perfectly positioned – with adjustable feet
With height adjustable feet, it’s now easier than ever to get the deck perfectly level – helping the tonearm and stylus track as accurately as possible. There are now three, rather than four feet, meaning the deck is dynamically balanced for greater stability. Rather than plastic, the feet are now made from heavy-duty metal.

Electronic speed control
For ease of use, the Debut Carbon EVO now uses electronic speed control. Rather than having to lift the platter and manually change the belt position on the pulley, a change from 33 to 45 speed happens at the click of a switch. A 78rpm belt is also included (78rpm stylus is recommended but not included).

Carbon fibre tonearm for a clearer connection to your music
A classic signature feature of the original model that has been carried through is the carbon tonearm. Usually found on more expensive turntables, this provides significant benefits to the sound quality. Being stiffer than steel, the tonearm is more rigid, which helps reproduce the music more accurately. In short, the music sounds tighter, punchier and more detailed.

Ortofon 2M cartridge included
Matching the quality of the deck and tonearm, the Debut Carbon EVO is supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Usually priced at around £100 on its own, this top quality cartridge ensures a high standard of connection with your records. The highly polished, tipped elliptical diamond gives excellent tracking without causing excessive wear to your vinyl.

Choose your style
With nine different finishes, there’s a Debut Carbon EVO to suit every style. Choose between Gloss Black, Red or White for high-shine appeal. Alternatively, select satin versions of Satin Black, Satin Golden Yellow, Satin Green, Satin Steel Blue or Satin White. For a more traditional style, there’s also a version available in Walnut Veneer, too.

Bring out the best in your vinyl, with the Project Debut Carbon EVO.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super simple setup. Perfection out of the box! I bought the Pro-Ject Evo to replace the Roksan Attessa which had a fault. The Attessa was a beatifully made deck with it's curved edged plinth and high quality finish, but mine wouldn't track and no matter what I tried it kept jumping. I returned it to the Weybridge store for testing and the staff there concluded that it was faulty as they also couldn't get it to play without problems. I was offered a replacement but after considering my options I decided the uni-pivot tonearm isn't for me so I opted to pay the difference and test the Pro-Ject Evo instead. I won't comment on the sound reproduction as there are so many positive reviews which I agree with however, in terms of ease of setup I am delighted with how simple it was and finally to be able to listen to my records without any skipping or jumping whatsoever, they just play start to finish with perfection. Luca in the store set the deck up for me and after listening to a couple of records I knew I had made the right decision. He took the time to explain the setup then dismantled the deck and carefully repacked it for loading into my car. When I got home I unpacked and followed the excellent pictoral instructions and had absolutely no problems balancing the tonearm. I then played the same LP that was skipping on the Attessa and it sounded amazing and played perfectly. During setup of the tonearm you have to adjust the VTF weight so it hovers level horizontally then zero the weight scale. Finally turn anti-clockwise until reaching 18 on the scale, as each increment represents 1mN of downforce. After playing a few records I measured the VTF with a digital scale and it was within 0.01g of the recommended 17.5nM for the fitted Ortofon 2M Red (my scale doesn't measure in nM) so the VTF weight adjustment is highly accurate. This was a source of frustration on the Attessa as I was getting vastly different readings depending on where on the platter I was measuring the tonearm VTF. In summary I recommend the Pro-Ject Evo for it's ease of setup and high quality build and of course, the wonderful sound it produces. Don't be put off the Attessa as many customers have highly rated it and mine was definitely faulty, but just be prepared to spend a lot of time setting it up and learning about the Uni-Pivot tonearm. For "plug & play" the Evo is without doubt my number one choice. As for the team at the Weybridge store, their service is second to none and they will devote their time and expertise to ensure you are delighted with the audio equipment you are considering buying.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product, even better service Loving the new turntable…. It’s reignited my passion for vinyl. Top marks for the in store experience. I took my existing turntable in so I could do a like for like sound comparison and it was so worthwhile. No hard sell, just quality, professional advice ….. which is why I keep going back…… and spending more :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pro-Ject carbon Evo Early days yet. After extensive reviews and researching , I chose the project carbon Evo, I’ve always had a record record collection but I’ve not played vinyl for probably 20 years, been CDs Since then. I thought I would Play The records I’ve kept since then, I did a lot of research on the Internet different reviews from Both suppliers and users, and after a conversation with Richer sounds who checked my amp was compatible, I chose the Evo. I am so impressed with the detail the Evo picked up. I’m looking forward to playing more albums and buying more. The item also arrived within two days ordering, which for after Christmas. I was really impressed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fabulous purchase This was our first purchase from Richer Sounds, and we are very happy. We paired our turntable (Pro ject Debut Carbon Evo with Triangle LNO1A speakers relying on the advice of shop staff. Our old albums sound fab. Dale was knowledgeable but not pushy. Staff at pick up were also great. Highly recommend.
