Product Information
Featuring class-leading technologies, including a balanced output, the Pro-Ject Debut PRO B takes a great turntable and makes it even better.
An award-winner made better, with True Balanced Connection
The original version of this classic turntable was a serial award-winner, with praise lavished on its class-leading sound quality. Now with the option of balanced connectivity, the Pro-Ject Debut PRO B is even better.
Why go balanced
A balanced connection resists noise from wi-fi, Bluetooth and other airborne interference, giving you a much purer and less distorted sound. The balanced output on the Pro-Ject Debut PRO B uses a mini-XLR socket to create a studio-quality link when used with a suitable phono pre-amp (compatible models include Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B and Phono Box DS3 B). For a regular, non-balanced RCA connection, the turntable also has RCA phono outputs and is supplied with the Pro-Ject Connect it Phono E RCA cable.
High quality engineering for the best sound
Even with the balanced connection put to one side, every part of the Debut PRO B is engineered to perfection. Starting with the CNC, precision milled and nickel coated tonearm bearing, to the heavy, TPE damped and anti-magnetic platter, each component is designed to meet the highest standards. It’s this precision engineering that gives the Debut PRO B such a detailed and highly resolved sound quality, letting you hear every breathe of your favourite artist.
Hybrid tonearm for exceptional tracking
The Debut PRO B features Pro-Ject’s technically advanced carbon-aluminium tonearm. This one-piece design is incredibly light and rigid, with the sound benefiting from the properties of both carbon fibre and aluminium. The carbon fibre provides strength, with the aluminium enhancing damping and electrical shielding properties. The result is an exceptional support for the cartridge, letting it retrieve the maximum amount of music from the record’s groove.
Adjust to suit any cartridge
The highly configurable tonearm adjusts for azimuth and VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) as well as weight. These settings fine-tune the cartridge position, making it easy to upgrade the cartridge and maximise its potential.
Supplied with Balanced cartridge
The Pro-Ject Pick it PRO Balanced is the first cartridge of its type (MM) to feature truly balanced signal transmission, making it the perfect partner for this deck. By not sharing the shielding pin with the ground, you get a cleaner and less distorted sound. Pick up noise and interference is greatly reduced, giving a much quieter backdrop for subtle musical detail to shine through the recording.
3-speed capability
Built-in electronic speed control lets you effortlessly switch between 33 and 45 speeds. Electronic control keeps the speed as accurate as possible, giving you the truest pitch. For 78rpm records, simply fit the supplied 78rpm belt (a 78rpm stylus is also required – Ortofon 2M 78).
Height adjustable metal feet
Three, height adjustable metal feet provide the perfect base for the Debut PRO B. These not only help level the turntable but, thanks to the integral damping, help isolate the deck from surface vibrations, too.
Hear the difference a meticulously engineered turntable makes to your vinyl’s sound quality, with the Pro-Ject Debut PRO B.
