Pro-Ject Launches New Debut Pro Turntable

Sumiko and Pro-Ject USA just introduced the handsome new Debut PRO turntable. Cosmetics are based around a satin black and brushed-nickel color scheme. Beyond the clearly great looks, there's a new 8.6" arm featuring a one-piece carbon fiber wrapped aluminum arm tube said to produce excellent rigidity and to reduce resonances.

A new heavy-duty nickel-plated machined aluminum bearing block adds mass at the pivot and ensures free movement for precision tracking. The platter is die case aluminum with integrated TPE damping resulting, Pro-Ject says, in a perfect combination of mass and low internal resonance.

New to the Debut series, both arm height and azimuth are adjustable, which allows for a wider range of high quality cartridges to be perfectly set up, including the excellent Sumiko Rainer, which is part of the package and is precision-aligned by experts at the factory.

Other features include height-adjustable feet with integrated resonance damping, electronic speed selection, a detachable acrylic dustcover and a premium semi-symmetrical photo cable (Connect It E).

As with all Pro-Ject Audio Systems turntables the special edition Debut PRO is hand crafted in Europe and will be available in the United States in limited quantities at select Pro-Ject dealers beginning August, 2021, with a suggested $899 retail price.
