The Perfect Shape

Crafted by hand in Europe, the Debut PRO S Balanced boasts an elegant satin black finish with hand-painted components. This all-black aesthetic, combined with the high-quality materials used, makes it a visually striking addition to any space. The attention to detail in both construction and design ensures not only a beautiful appearance but also optimal sound fidelity that reflects Pro-Ject’s commitment to high standards.

10-Inch Alumunium S-Shape Tone Arm

The Debut PRO S Balanced's tonearm and platter are built from die-cast aluminium, known for its durability and damping properties. The 10-inch S-shaped tonearm allows for precise tracking of the record groove, minimising errors, particularly on inner grooves, and is ideal for heavier moving coil cartridges. Additionally, the die-cast platter is equipped with thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) dampening to reduce resonances, wow, and flutter, enhancing playback accuracy and sound quality.

True Balanced 

To preserve the delicate phono signals, which are much weaker than standard audio signals, Pro-Ject has integrated True Balanced Connection technology. This approach, commonly used in professional audio settings, minimises interference from electronic devices and wireless networks. By balancing the signal pathway, the Debut PRO S Balanced mitigates ‘electrosmog’ interference, enabling a cleaner, noise-free audio experience. 

To make use of True Balanced Technology, we recommend pairing the turntable with an MC cartridge or Pick it PRO Balanced enhances this effect.

Refined Power Supply and Enhanced Sound Quality

The turntable’s sound accuracy is further supported by Pro-Ject’s precision DC-driven AC generator, creating a clean power source that reduces motor vibrations. 

Recommended Phono Stage

Users can upgrade their setup with the Power Box S3 Phono, designed specifically for Pro-Ject turntables and phono preamps. This sophisticated power supply offers enhanced DC filtration, improving sound quality while providing a tidier, more efficient cable setup. Together, these features ensure that the Debut PRO S Balanced not only looks impressive but also delivers an exceptional audio experience.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

Guy H.

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
