With the dust cover removed one must have an ear to the plinth to hear any vibration, though it is there. This is somewhat effective though vibration is amplified by the dust cover, the microphonic impact of which makes the motor audible up close. The motor is mounted via plate damped with TPE isolation rubber, effectively absorbing unwanted vibration that may otherwise be transmitted through the plinth.
Irrelevant in listening of course, but an attention to detail nonetheless. It appeared from my testing that at 33RPM at least, the electronics ramped up the motor speed at startup for a faster startup time before dropping back to the correct speed.

The drive system comprises an in-house designed and manufactured AC drive motor with an onboard frequency generator to facilitate electronic speed control. Various routings conceal wires and screws beneath, and the bearing and motor plates on top resulting in a neat and clean aesthetic. Its plinth comprises a rectangular slab of MDF in your chosen finish, the fibreboard material chosen for its anti-resonance properties.
#Debut carbon evo review manual
The Debut Carbon EVO (the Carbon hereafter) is a traditionally-designed manual turntable. The complete complement of finishes are high-gloss black, red and white, and satin black, white, gold & yellow, green, steel blue and a walnut veneer. The aptly named Debut Carbon EVO evolves the Debut Carbon line with the latest premium materials and a range of nine plinth finishes in satin, high gloss and even walnut veneer. The next evolution of the Debut range is now upon us, nearly 20 years after the first Debuts rolled off the production line. There were platter upgrades too, and later models with inbuilt electronic speed control, phono stages and USB analogue to digital conversion hardware.
Not least of which was the carbon fibre tonearm, an extremely stiff and lightweight single-piece arm tube with integral headshell that brought with it excellent resonance control. The Debut line improved incrementally over the coming decade until 2012 when the Debut Carbon brought technology from some of Pro-ject’s higher-end models to the lineup. But it was the Debut that arguably put Project on the map, as it became something of a gold-standard reference and remains a constant in the mid-budget record player arena. Though earlier ranges still live on in name and technological evolutions have come several times over, and hundreds of models both at the lower and upper ends of the market have come and gone since. But the foresight of founder Heinz Lichtenegger is, in hindsight, rather smart, given the massive resurgence in the format.īy 1999 when the company was firmly established with almost a decade of products under its belt, the £109 Debut range was introduced, marking an important landmark in the company’s history. A strange time to start manufacturing turntables you might think. Pro-Ject’s first turntable, the aptly named ‘1’ launched the company to high acclaim in 1991, when vinyl was rapidly fading into obsolescence in the eye of the general consumer.
