Pro-Ject Audio Systems is an Austrian company, founded in Vienna 20 years ago. In the late 1980s, Heinz Lichtenegger, the man behind Pro-Ject Audio Systems, noticed that the main brands of the hi-fi industry no longer supported the analogue market. Well-established European and American companies began to raise prices for their analogue equipment. Because Heinz Lichtenegger believed in analogue music reproduction, he started Pro-Ject Audio Systems. His aim is to produce hi-fi components with outstanding audiophile sound quality for the lowest price possible.
Turntables must be simple to use, reasonably priced, give real good sound reproduction from vinyl and finally have to look attractive, to gain the attention of today’s music lovers. The debut turntable is perfectly matching all these criteria and therefore is by far the most successful record player these days. No other analogue hi-fi product was more often honoured to be a real Best-Buy, than the Pro-Ject Debut III. A real bargain with outstanding sound quality!
The best-buy turntable classic with carbon tonearm and DC power supply! The first Debut turntable, introduced in the late 1990s, was a revolution for the hi-fi industry. For the first time after the arrival of Compact Disc and the assumed demise of vinyl records, an analogue product re-emerged in the “mass market” – something all music lovers could afford. The new DEBUT Carbon DC has been designed to set new standards in this category for the coming decade – perfectly timed as analogue today is again a respected source, while the demand for good turntables is growing again! The most obvious improvement is the inclusion of a CARBON TUBE for the tonearm, which increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance. This material normally is extensively used in high-end tonearms, but – because of cost reasons – was never used in products at lower price levels. Together with other improvements like an increase in platter size and weight to realize even smoother rotation, the overall sound quality is greatly improved. The approved belt drive design offers low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling (utilising TPE-damping) and ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability without unwanted vibration. The DEBUT CARBON DC will be offered in high-gloss black or shiny red, green, blue, yellow, silver or white as no-added-cost option.
Pro-Ject products give the best possible audio quality within their price range with long-term reliable performance. Pro-Ject is now the world’s foremost producer of analogue turntables, with a wide range of products for every standard and budget. Listening music from vinyl still is “cool”. Pro-Ject Audio has provided an essential contribution to the revival of analogue audio , attracting ambitious music lovers of all ages !
