The Debut Carbon Evolution implements a sophisticated onboard power control circuit that generates a very precise signal to ensure accurate and consistent speed regardless of power fluctuation. Some high-end designs offer an additional, usually expensive external power controller to stabilize speed. Many are so erratic they have to provide speed-control which needs to be monitored and adjusted over time. Many turntables utilize AC motors that rely on your power line to maintain the correct speed. Leveraging advanced damping solutions with high-mass composite construction, we created the new motor suspension system using a steel plate and TPE decoupling to isolate the motor while ensuring the spindle is perfectly aligned with the sub-platter for impeccable speed stability and smooth transfer of rotational force. The only vibes we want are in the record grooves. The Debut Carbon Evo features a new motor suspension system, decoupling the motor from the plinth to reduce the transfer of vibration. That is a challenge for any turntable designer to overcome as those vibrations can transfer to the tonearm and cartridge, negatively affecting sound quality. A perfectly level, solid & stable platform is crucially important for proper vinyl playback. Not only do the vibration-absorbing feet help isolate the turntable, but they are also easy to adjust, and leveling the turntable is now as simple as can be. The Debut Carbon Evo benefits from the huge range of higher-level design elements Pro-Ject has to offer, incorporating the special TPE-damped metal feet from our award-winning X1 turntable. The added rotational mass enhances the flywheel effect, yielding reduced wow & flutter and higher stability while damping resonance. The result is a heavier platter with minimal noise over an expertly engineered main bearing and sub-platter. The Debut Carbon Evo approaches this problem by using our proven 12” steel platter, now lined around the outer edge (bottom side) with an anti-resonant thermo-plastic elastomer (TPE). The main platter upon which the record is played should be heavy and non-resonant. The Debut Carbon Evo is supplied with our Connect It E: a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable with superior shielding designed specifically to carry the delicate phono signal. The signal from the Rainier is transmitted via a single run of high-quality copper wiring direct to high-quality RCA connectors with a completely separate ground, preserving the balanced signal from the cartridge output. No need to replace the cartridge, reset the alignment nor rebalance the tonearm. Factory mounted and aligned on an 8,6″ low-mass carbon fiber tonearm, the Rainier offers a replaceable stylus that can be easily upgraded to a Sumiko Olympia (or even a Moonstone!) in a matter of seconds. The new Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge combines superb trackability with uncanny accuracy and clarity without sacrificing smoothness. Vinyl playback starts with the cartridge, converting what’s in the three-dimensional record groove to an electrical signal. Should requirements call for a phono preamp, Bluetooth or digital connectivity, USB interface, etc., Pro-Ject offers a wide range of external electronics, optimized for any application. It is a pure, high-performance turntable. The elegant, simple aesthetic is unmarred by gimmicky lights, sliders, and buttons. The new Debut Carbon Evolution represents the epitome of Pro-Ject’s philosophy: high performance, clean aesthetics, and superb value. Creating a worthy successor to the legendary Debut Carbon required rethinking and reevaluating every component and each design choice. Building a great & affordable turntable requires not only expertise, but also skilled engineering, flawless manufacturing, advanced material sciences, and relentless passion. Building a great high-end turntable requires design expertise.
