The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB builds on the legacy of the original Debut turntable, first introduced in the late 1990s as an affordable analogue solution during the rise of CDs. This model sets new standards with its carbon fibre tonearm, enhanced platter design, and advanced motor technology. The belt-drive system with TPE suspension minimises noise and vibration, while the electronic Speed Box ensures precise speed control. Switching to 78 rpm playback is simple—just replace the stylus with the Ortofon 2M78 and adjust the drive belt pulley.
