Pro-Ject use their own wrapped carbon fibre arm on the Debut Pro and it is a strictly manual affair: there are no auto systems – such as auto shut-off – associated with the arm. Simple friction hinges slot into a clear acrylic dust cover At rear a single adjustable foot, fully floating (electrically) phono socket outputs, and a 15V d.c. So the Debut Pro will do 78, but not easily compared to an arm with a removable headshell. Ortofon make a 2M 78rpm stylus but it is not compatible with the 2M Red the cartridge must be removed.
Choosing 78rpm means a belt change to a larger pulley diameter, which is a bit of a faff around.The platter must be lifted off and a different belt threaded into place.īut to play 78s the cartridge must be changed, which is not easy in the fixed headshell arm. A small three-way toggle switch at front left changes speed from 33rpm to 45rpm, passing through a central Off position motor speed is changed electronically. Measurement answered this question: the Pro is remarkably speed stable, especially for a simple belt drive – a topic I’ll cover in more detail later.īelt drive it may be but the Debut Pro manages to provide three speeds: 33,45 and 78rpm. For this you get turntable, arm and cartridge.īut why Pro? It doesn’t have obvious Pro features, such as a stroboscope with fine speed control for example. That can be expensive but Project ease the pain by pricing this complete package at just £. Make an entry in other words, an entry into vinyl. The name says a lot about :his turntable: Debut.
