Products that are Awaiting Stock are items that we would normally carry on stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse, but are currently unavailable. Chances are there is already more on the way, but if you would like a more accurate availability status please feel free to Contact Us.
Urgent order items are products that we do not normally carry on stock, but they are typically held on stock by our European suppliers. Depending on availability, we will seek to order these products quickly, when we have an enquiry. They can therefore be subject to quicker availability times than "Special Order" products.
Special Order items are those that are most often built to order. For these items, we tend to experience longer lead times as we negotiate them into the production line with our suppliers.
The Debut PRO S is designed for mindful music listeners. Those who want to interact with their vinyl intimately, and who seek to achieve a high-performance sound worthy of far more expensive record playing systems.
As a result of the new tonearm, the Debut PRO S also features a larger MDF main chassis. Like other Debut models this is machine-made to provide a stable, inert base for the turntable to perform. The traditional rectangular footprint has a timeless minimalism, finished in a luxurious satin black paint, masking its clever anti-resonance properties.
The electronically regulated synchronous motor drives the platter and guarantees the most accurate and stable speeds. Change between 33 and 45 RPM records with a simple switch of the hidden rocker switch, underneath the chassis. With the supplied round belt for 78 rpm you can also listen to your shellac records.
The turntable plinth sits on three height-adjustable metal feet with TPE-damping. The result is a platform free from unwanted vibrations, ideally suited to record playback.
The sub-platter sits beneath the heavy aluminium platter, which has a ring of TPE damping, held in place by an additional stabilising ring of aluminium, effectively damping all resonances. The high mass of the overall platter assembly minimises the effects of wow and flutter for a cleaner sonic performance and exceptional musical timing.
The Debut PRO S takes the basic Debut design but expands on it with a new 10” S-Shape tonearm, which fundamentally changes the nature of the turntable. First, the new tonearm features an aluminium tube mounted into a precision milled bearing housing, which sits on top of a mounting plate that allows for VTA adjustment. Secondly, it boasts an SME-type connector for easy switching between headshells – allowing you to build a collection of cartridges that suit different musical styles or types of records.
The Debut PRO S is supplied with the Pro-Ject Pick-IT S2 C cartridge pre-installed for great stereo sound straight out of the box - unheard precision and dynamics.
Supplied with the Pick-IT S2 C cartridge pre-installed, all the accessories you need, a dust cover and a Connect-IT E phono cable in the box, the Debut PRO S is ready to play once it’s connected to a hi-fi system with a moving magnet phono stage.

Pro-Ject Debut PRO S
"It lives up to its promise of offering a real performance uplift over Pro-Ject’s (and other brands’) entry-level players – and quite a few midrange models too."
Henley Says...
Debut turntables are an iconic in the realm of Hi-Fi, 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. 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.
Whilst maintaining the durable build that the Debut series is known for, the Debut PRO S delves deeper into the principles of Hi-Fi by coming supplied with an S-shaped tonearm for improved linear tracking, making the Debut PRO S the perfect turntable for any audiophile on a budget.
We particularly love this turntable for its all-black appearance, giving the turntable a refined, tasteful aesthetic that would fit well in any interior.
Many of our turntables may have multiple compatible counterweights available. The counterweight you actually need is the one that allows you to balance your existing cartridge while ideally sitting near the tonearm bearing when fully installed.
If your counterweight sits right at the back of the tonearm, it runs the risk of introducing some micro-vibrations, so aiming for a counterweight where your cartridge weight is in the lower range of the supported weights is ideal.
To help you make the right decision, we've produced a comprehensive list of all our tonearms and counterweights.
