A milestone for the next decade
Tonearm, Cartridge, Clamp & Dustcover included
The Debut PRO S Balanced brings an absolutely new design to Pro-Ject turntables. The audiophile turntable is convincing in all respects – not only visually, but more importantly also in terms of sound.
The precision CNC milled parts are optically perfectly coordinated and lead the Debut PRO S Balanced to its modern simple, elegant and unprecedented design.
The electronically regulated synchronous motor drives the platter and guarantees the most accurate and stable speeds. Change between them easily with the toggle switch. With the supplied round belt for 78 rpm you can also listen to your shellac records.
10‘‘ Aluminium S-Shape Tonearm
This aluminium tonearm ensures excellent damping and the 10“ length enables perfect tracking of the record groove with minimal tracking error especially towards the inner grooves. Compared to a straight tonearm, the S-shape will increase the effective mass of the tonearm, which is great when wanting to upgrade to heavier MC cartridges.The newly designed tonearm base allows you to adjust both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). The tonearm height can be continuously adjusted by loosening the two grub screws. These settings give you the option of adapting the tonearm to height changes allowing the use of different turntable mats or other cartridges to always achieve the best sound quality. Setting and experimenting with the VTA & Azimuth is crucial in extracting every last bit of performance out of your cartridges.
Dampened die-cast alu platter
The die-cast aluminum platter gets reworked and precision balanced in an extra step to obtain a perfect platter. The heavy aluminum platter has a ring made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) on the inside that helps to dampen all resonances and thus Minimize wow and flutter.
The True Balanced Technology
Phono signals are 1000 times smaller in voltage than regular CD, streaming or line level signals. This is why you need a phono preamplifier for your turntable, to amplify the signal and make it usable by your „normal“ amplifier.
Nowadays, many electromagnetic fields interfere with turntables. The causes are wireless networks and numerous electronic devices in the modern home. The RCA cable between your turntable and your amplifier is prone to picking up noise on the way. This so-called “electrosmog“ can interfere with the tiny phono signal and add noise to your music. Balanced audio connections are standard among professional musicians, recording studios, and for live concerts. It is essential to have a stable & interference-free connection as these signals, especially microphone signals, will be highly amplified. The same applies to the connection from your turntable to the phono preamplifier. The significant advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to uppress picked up noise and interferences.
