The Debut EVO 2 is the ultimate first step into high-end vinyl playback. Designed to be effortless to set-up and use, it offers exceptional sound out of the box thanks to its premium components and class-leading build quality. However, it’s also an extensively upgradeable turntable, for music lovers who want to journey further into their vinyl experience.
The original Pro-Ject debut was released in the late 1990s during a time when CD was king and the vinyl format was presumed to be all but gone. Over two decades later the model still stands thanks to its enduring ability to offer exceptional value for money, class leading sound and timeless style.
The Debut EVO 2 stands out thanks to its premium carbon fibre tonearm. The 8.6” conical tube is super stiff and lightweight, allowing any attached cartridge to traverse the record groove efficiently, while also resisting any unwanted vibrations. The tonearm tube is mounted in a CNC-milled aluminium block with low-friction bearings.
The Debut EVO 2 is supplied with a pre-mounted Pick it MM EVO cartridge. Designed to perfectly suit the carbon fibre tonearm, both technically and aesthetically, the moving magnet cartridge was co-designed with experts at Ortofon, benefiting from the Danish company’s advanced technologies and production processes.
The premium belt-drive system features an in-house designed and manufactured AC drive motor, decoupled from the main chassis by TPE, powered by a sophisticated DC/AC power generator. This set-up allows for clean and stable power, resulting in excellent rotational stability and minimal vibrations. Speed change between 33 and 45 RPM is handled by a discrete power switch underneath the plinth. 78 RPM speed can be achieved with an optional pulley and drive belt change, available separately.
The drive system is completed by the sub-platter and the heavy damped aluminium main platter. The 1.7kg main platter is die-cast and precision balanced, before being completed with a ring of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), to reduce unwanted resonances. The platter is also anti-magnetic, allowing for easy upgrades to moving coil cartridges in the future.
Structurally, the Debut EVO 2 is most recognised by its expertly finished plinth, available in six satin paint options, three high gloss paint options or a real-wood walnut veneer. The minimalist rectangular footprint has a timeless elegance, and is made of MDF for its excellent anti-resonant properties, which are further enhanced by a new machining process that recesses the RCA junction box into the main chassis for further reduced hollow spaces within the turntable.
The turntable is finished by its three height-adjustable metal feet with TPE-damping in a sleek black finish. The result is a platform free from unwanted vibrations, ideally suited to record playback.
The Debut EVO 2 is easy to set-up and use, and, once connected to a system with a moving magnet phono stage, will deliver a deeply impressive sonic performance with lots of detail and musical character. All that’s left is to pick your preferred finish from the extensive list of options available.
The EVO 2 is supplied with the cartridge pre-installed, and includes a dust cover, felt mat and a semi-balanced Connect it E Phono RCA turntable interconnect in the box.

"Pro-Ject has taken a friendly, capable deck and furnished it with significant upgrades to make it a more sleek and engaging performer."
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
"The original Debut EVO took the Debut to new heights and the EVO 2 promises more of the same."
Henley Says...
Debut turntables are an icon in the Hi-Fi world, and are constantly evolving, based both on usability feedback and audience demand, along with a desire to keep up with the very latest technologies and materials. Always available in a range of colours to best suit your listening environment, the Debut models of today are versatile and reliable devices that more than live up to Pro-Ject's strict high-quality standards, in both build and sound reproduction.
I have loved the appearance and accompanying sound of Debut variants for years, and the EVO 2 is no different. As a turntable, it combines high-quality craftsmanship with outstanding performance without any of the faff of extensive set-up processes, letting you focus on enjoying your music.
The Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 cements itself as a principal choice for seasoned audiophiles and beginners alike thanks to its accessible price point, as well as significant enhancements over its predecessor. If you want a turntable that combines sleek design with high-performance audio, the Debut EVO 2 is worth the investment.
