The Debut PRO brings an absolutely new design to Pro-Ject turntables. The audiophile turntable is convincing in all respects " not only visually, but more importantly also in terms of sound. The old technology has made a comeback and is here to stay. The Debut PRO is a milestone for the next decades: A cult product that celebrates the great success of analogue music reproduction and the joy of stereo hi-fidelity in your home. The Pro-Ject 1 and its successor, the Debut series, revolutionized listening to music. These products brought back the love of analogue playback devices " a turning point for the vinyl industry.

Pick it PRO: We have always been looking for the best price/performance ratio, with perfect manufacturing quality and „Made in Europe". For this reason, we decided to work with Ortofon to develop a unique range of cartridges. Thanks to the excellent manufacturing skills of Ortofon we were able to produce a very special cartridge: The Pick it PRO.

Cartridges are electromechanical transducers, where mechanical energy is transformed into an electrical signal. The real difference in sound happens here. The turntable itself should be as neutral as possible. The colour and life of the music come from the cartridge. We, therefore, designed our new Pick it PRO that delivers a more lively and robust sound and convinces with its wide dynamic range.
