Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO (Satin Walnut)
Turntable
£499
”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.

Great turntable to start your vinyl exploration
I bought this a little over 3 weeks ago. I considered this as one of the options to get a properly functioning and extendable over time turntable. Many people on Reddit suggested Debut EVO as a proper mid-entry-level option. I went to the store and set up a demo with a few other options. The staff was really helpful and let me operate the equipment as well try as long as I wished to. After comparing it to other turntables, I picked up Debut EVO over others.
Build quality is great, and operating this one is quite smooth. The packaging was great and secure, and so were the setup instructions. I've played a little over 10 hours on it so far in combo with iFi Zen preamp. Love the sound, and I love that turntable is nearly silent. The motor is smooth and silent, and the plater has little to no resonance.
I'm looking forward to change to a different cartridge over time. Yet, I'm quite pleased with 2M Red. I only wish Pro-Ject had so aggressive extra cartridge promo as they have in the US, where you can claim an extra cartridge after purchase.

Debut Carbon Evo
Bought this turntable as my first ‘return to analog’ effort. I love the result. Setting up the arm (getting the balance right) was fiddly but the result is amazing

Fantastic sound, great build quality.
I had a Debut years ago and loved it but it was impractical. This is like the best ever version of my earlier deck. You no longer have ti take the platter off to change speeds and there are height adjustable feet to make it easier to level. Great build quality. Love it!

Excellent product and definitely worth the money
Bought a few days ago, definitely worth every penny. I’ve been in the market for a turntable for some time now and I’ve finally decided to get this one.

Superb turntable punching above it's price point
I purchased an Evo about 10 months ago. I was instantly impressed with the build, look and more importantly the sound.
Hooked up to an ArtDJ pre phono stage and into a pioneer receiver set up is simple.
After bedding in the 2M Red gave this turntable a great sound.
I did upgrade my cartridge/stylus after about 4 months and although not a totally recommended upgrade to an AT VM95ML (I already had it at home) it really made the turntable sing. Awesome sound.
Sadly this first one purchased through a major online store developed a ticking noise from the motor (which seems a one off issue with mine). I returned it for a refund but immediately went to Preston Richer Sounds and bought another Evo.
I was half tempted to have a change but the sound from the Evo was just right for my ears and set-up it seemed silly to change.
The service from Richer has always been so good there was no choice where I would buy my replacement.
Although I had an issue I'm still giving the Evo a 5star rating.
