Project’s new Debut PRO S Balanced Turntable continues the popular PRO series of turntables with style. Staying true to their philosophy, Pro-Ject has designed a turntable that encourages a mindful approach to music listening.
The Debut PRO S Balanced takes this philosophy to the next level by inviting listeners to interact with the turntable through manual controls. The musical rewards that follow this tactile experience enhance the overall enjoyment of the music.
Debut PRO S Balanced
The Debut PRO S Balanced is designed for mindful music listeners. Those who interact intimately with their vinyl seek to achieve a high-performance sound worthy of far more expensive record-playing systems.
A Perfect Shape
The turntable features Pro-Ject’s new 10-inch s-shaped aluminium tonearm, which is CNC-milled for precision. This design opens up new possibilities for users who wish to experiment with different cartridges, as the Debut PRO S Balanced is equipped with an SME connector. The fully adjustable tonearm allows for deeper exploration of the turntable’s sound, enabling a limitless audio experience.
Handmade in Europe with the highest-quality materials, the Debut PRO S Balanced is finished in an eye-catching, all-black satin with hand-painted components, cleverly masking its anti-resonance technologies, and making it a striking addition to any living room.
CNC-Milled Aluminium Parts
Examine the new Debut PRO S Balanced closely; you will find that it contains no hollow spaces or plastic components. Pro-Ject uses only high-quality aluminium parts to ensure the best possible sound quality. The precision CNC-milled components are aesthetically coordinated and contribute to the Debut PRO S Balanced’s modern, simple, and unprecedented design. The Satin Black finish of the aluminium parts results in a beautiful, standout appearance.
10-Inch Aluminium S-Shape Tonearm
The Debut PRO S takes the basic Debut design but expands on it with a new 10” S-Shape tonearm, fundamentally changing the turntable’s nature. First, the new tonearm features an aluminium tube mounted into a precision-milled bearing housing, which sits on top of a mounting plate that allows for VTA adjustment.
Secondly, it boasts an SME-type connector for easy switching between headshells. This allows you to build a collection of cartridges that suit different musical styles or types of records.
Adjustable VTA & Azimuth
The new tonearm of the Debut PRO S Balanced allows for adjustments to both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). By loosening two grub screws, users can continuously adjust the tonearm height. These settings enable the tonearm to adapt to height changes, which is useful when using different turntable mats or cartridges, ensuring optimal performance.
No More Unwanted Vibrations
The turntable plinth sits on three height-adjustable metal feet with TPE-damping. The result is a platform free from unwanted vibrations, ideally suited to record playback.
Always the Perfect Speed
The turntable’s electronically controlled speed guarantees accuracy and stability. Switching between speeds is easy with a toggle switch, and the included round belt for 78 RPM allows you to enjoy shellac records. With the diamond-cut aluminium sub-platter, Pro-Ject ensures perfect speed accuracy while adding mass to the platter and drive system, further dampening noise and unwanted resonances.
Dampened Die-Cast Aluminium Platter
The die-cast aluminium platter undergoes additional precision balancing to achieve perfection on the Debut Pro S Balanced. This heavy platter includes a ring made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) on the inside, which helps dampen resonances and minimise wow and flutter.
