The Debut History
From the middle of the 1990s, only a handful of
years after Pro-Ject Audio Systems was founded
and right at the peak of CD’s popularity, we could
already see the growing number of people missing
analogue music. In 1998 Heinz Lichtenegger and
his UK distributor and longtime friend, Laurence
Armstrong, were sitting together dreaming of a re-
cord player that would make analogue sound ac-
cessible to more people. They wanted a new model
that could deliver as close to high-end sound as
possible, but at a price that a new younger generati-
on could aord. Thanks to their dear friend and Pro-
Ject’s original product manager, Jiri Kroutil, within
only a few days they had a sample and the Debut
was born.
Today, after more than 20 years, the Debut is one of
the best-selling products in the history of hi- with
close to 1 million units sold. As it made listening to
vinyl an aordable option for music lovers, with its
minimalist aesthetic and premium nish options it
also made analogue fashionable again. Through the
years we constantly kept improving our formula,
moving with technologies and fashion trends. In the
early 2010s, the Debut Carbon gave new life to the
ongoing Debut revolution and now in 2020, it is time
for the next generation.
The Evolution
The Debut Carbon is already nearly the perfect
turntable, especially considering the price badge
and the used materials. Now we took our time to
think again. We have done a lot of research to make
the Debut Carbon even better, but our main objecti-
ve has not changed over the years. We still want to
build an aordable high-performance turntable that
not just looks incredibly luxurious and modern, but
also features a great sound quality.
The Debut Carbon EVO focuses on the core aspects
that make a turntable sound great. Technically cor-
rect design - expert craftsmanship - handmade in
the EU. This turntable is built to last you a lifetime!
Additional features that might negatively impact the
overall audio performance or longevity are left out.
At that level of sonic performance, it is always bet-
ter to opt for a separate phono stage. If you want
Bluetooth connectivity or a USB interface - we oer
a broad portfolio of components at dierent perfor-
mance levels to suit your budget.
