The Next EVO

The Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 turntable is meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional audio quality through its innovative design and premium components. Its 8.6” carbon fibre tonearm combines rigidity and lightweight construction for precise tracking, enhanced by a CNC-milled aluminium bearing for low friction and stability. The tonearm's one-piece design eliminates unwanted resonances, ensuring a solid connection to the cartridge. An advanced adaptive anti-skating mechanism adjusts dynamically to maintain consistent performance across vinyl grooves, further elevating playback accuracy.

A precision-balanced 1.7 kg die-cast aluminium platter with an internal TPE damping ring reduces resonances, wow, and flutter, while its anti-magnetic properties ensure compatibility with MC cartridges and True Balanced Connection technology. Height-adjustable damped feet enhance stability on uneven surfaces, and the optional Record Puck E offers additional damping for improved performance. Completing the system is the Pick it MM EVO cartridge, featuring Ortofon's split pole pin technology for a flat frequency response, delivering detailed and balanced sound with visual elegance.
