What’s in the Set?

Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 Turntable with Pick It MM Cartridge

The Debut EVO 2 focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable sound exceptional: technically precise design, expert craftsmanship, and handmade construction in the EU. This turntable is built to accompany you for life!

Carbon fiber tonearm

The new Debut EVO 2 features the a 8,6‘‘ one piece carbon tonearm design. The super stiff, but lightweight tonearm delivers an amazing sound quality with a convincing sound stage.

The New Pick it MM EVO Cartridge

The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge completes the Debut EVO 2. Not only does it complement the lightweight tonearm sonically, but it also looks stunning. Our phono specialists have once again teamed up with cartridge experts at Ortofon in Denmark to create this new cartridge. It combines several innovative technologies, including Ortofon’s renowned split pole pins, which allow for a flat frequency response comparable to that of MC cartridges.

Backside Beauty

We believe in clean aesthetics, and not just on the topside. The Debut EVO 2 is the first turntable to integrate the RCA output box and power socket directly into the plinth, resulting in a sleek, cohesive design.

Premium Connection

The gold-plated RCA sockets on the Debut EVO 2 provide the highest-quality connection. The included high-grade Connect it Phono E RCA cable uses premium materials like a copper conductor to ensure signal transmission without loss. This semi-symmetrical cable has shielding connected only at one end, so the yellow-marked side should always be connected to the receiving device.

With the RCA output sockets, you can easily upgrade the phono cable, enabling the Debut EVO 2 to support True Balanced technology. For this, you’ll need an MC cartridge or the Pick it PRO Balanced.

A Throne for Your Records

The heavy, 1.7 kg die-cast aluminium platter undergoes a precision balancing process to achieve perfection. It features a TPE ring on the inside to dampen resonances and minimise wow and flutter. The anti-magnetic platter also allows for the use of MC cartridges and supports our True Balanced Connection technology.

For an extra level of damping and stability, the separately available Record Puck E is the perfect addition to the Debut EVO 2. The platter’s notch for the record label, combined with the Record Puck E, will ensure your record is pressed tightly against the platter for optimal performance.

 

Pro-Ject MaiA S3 Integrated Amplifier

The MaiA S3 continues Pro-Ject’s tradition of building versatile amplifiers with a diminutive footprint.

Ready for digital or analog sources, wired or wireless – you’re covered. The phono section can handle MM or high output MC cartridges. Hook up your tuner or any other analog device to one of the three line-level RCA inputs.

The DAC section allows one coaxial and two optical connections, whilst the high definition aptX™ HD Bluetooth 5.0 wireless input allows you to stream your favourite music via smartphone.

The new casework also goes even further in blocking electromagnetic interference and perfectly matches other Pro-Ject S3 components.

Despite its size, eight source devices can be connected simultaneously:

• High-quality phono MM + high output MC preamp
• 3 analogue line level inputs
• Digital coax input (up to 24bit/192kHz)
• 2 Toslink inputs (up to 24bit/96kHz)
• Wireless Bluetooth streaming (5.0 aptX HD) input with dedicated antenna

 

Pro-Ject Speaker Box 5 S2 Bookshelf Speakers

Speaker Box 5 S2 are a bookshelf speaker that prioritise detail as well as totally neutral, faithful reproduction of sound. The wooden chassis comes in two high quality finishes: walnut, and satin black.

With Speaker Box 5 S2 we created a monitor speaker which will satisfy music-lovers as well as professional musicians. A 25mm silk dome tweeter delivers crystal-clear highs, the 150mm fiberglass cone gives open, detailed and lush mids as well as punchy and tight bass.

Every Pro-Ject speaker has to withstand extreme-condition tests to ensure they fit the highest standards. A very special eco-friendly glue has been used to hold the cabinet together.

The recommended amplifier power is rated between 10 – 150 watts RMS, where it applies as for every speaker: the higher the power of an amplifier the less distortion can be found at lower volumes.

Speaker Box 5 S2 guarantees wonderful and unrivalled sound at a terrific price!
