To this day, our designs have always been kept functional and clean, so the first Pro-Ject product was very simple but made from the highest quality materials: MDF, steel, aluminium, glass, and carbon. Plastic was not used for reasons of sound, durability, and the love of the environment.

Please note: Adjust the tracking force prior to installing the anti-skating weight. The recommended tracking force for the Pro-Ject Pick IT PRO cartridge is 20 mN = 2g. Use electronic tracking force scales (like Measure it E) for more accurate results.
The record player has gold plated female RCA Phono sockets (14) on the back. Use the included Connect it E phono RCA cable to connect your Debut PRO to your amplifier. The cable ends with the yellow markings are plugged into the phono inputs (sometimes also labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Make sure that the phono input offers correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used.
PRO Info: Power Supply Upgrade Your Debut PRO already has a speed control unit built in which at the same time already acts as a clean power supply. The exact voltage and frequency for the motor are generated by this speed control unit, resulting in the most accurate playback speeds.
So that no motor vibrations reach the pickup, the Debut PRO has the new, proven motor suspension first seen in our Debut Carbon EVO, which is responsible for the perfect decoupling of the motor.

Welcome to the deep end. Raising the bar sonically, we’ve designed Debut PRO to match the league it plays in. The satin black and nickel finish lends it the celebratory look fitting for Pro-Ject’s 30th anniversary.
Precision in every component The precision CNC milled parts are perfectly formed and give the Debut PRO its modern, simple, elegant and, class-leading design.

This process enables us to produce very high-quality and long- lasting components, avoiding plastics and similar materials that age over time.
