Pro-Ject Debut PRO S Balanced

Debut PRO S Balanced Where size matters. Now with True Balanced mini XLR output. Our turntables demand conscious music listening. The Debut PRO S Balanced takes this philosophy to the extreme. We finished all parts except for the polished spindle in matte black. The manual controls invite the listener to interact with the turntable: turn it on, place the record on the platter, move and lower the tonearm. The musical reward follows the tactile experience. No unnecessary switches, LEDs, or labeling distract from what is essential.   10" S-Shape Not a straight line.     A milestone for the next decades The Debut PRO S Balanced 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 precision CNC milled parts are optically perfectly coordinated and lead the Debut PRO S Balanced to its modern simple, elegant and unprecedented design.       Deeply driven The electronically regulated synchronous motor drives the platter and guarantees the most accurate and stable speeds. Change between them easily with the toggle switch. With the supplied round belt for 78 rpm you can also listen to your shellac records.         A new platter – a deeper dish The die-cast aluminium platter is reworked and precision balanced in an extra step to obtain an evenly spinning platter. It is anti-magnetic, allowing also MC cartridges to work properly. The anti-magnetic heavy aluminium platter has a ring made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) on the inside that helps to dampen all resonances and minimizes wow and flutter. The included Record Puck E provides an extra level of damping and stability.       Azimuth & VTA Adjustment The newly designed tonearm base allows you to adjust both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). The tonearm height can be continuously adjusted by loosening the two grub screws. These settings give you the option of adapting the tonearm to height changes allowing the use of different turntable mats or other cartridges to always achieve the best sound quality. Setting and experimenting with the VTA & Azimuth is crucial in extracting every last bit of performance out of your cartridges.         PRO Features Pick it S2 C Alu Sub-Platter 10" S-Shape Unheard precision & dynamics The perfect combination of components is the key to achieve the great sound of the Pick it PRO S Balanced. Sustainable components The diamond cut aluminium sub-platter can be machined to much improved and higher tolerances and will be a substantial upgrade to regular sub-platters. New tonearm design This super stiff and uniquely dampened aluminium tonearm ensures perfect tracking of the record groove. VTA & Azimuth 33/45/78 RPM Bearing block Fully adjustable The Debut PRO S Balanced comes with fully adjustable Azimuth & VTA. It offers you the possibility to modify your turntable as you want it. High precision motor control The playback speeds are electronically controlled with precision, which guarantees the most accurate and stable music reproduction. Change between speeds easily with the toggle switch. Complete new design The precision CNC milled tonearm bearing parts are completely new and designed just for the PRO. Special Platter Metal Feet TPE damped & anti magnetic The heavy aluminium platter has a ring made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) on the inside that helps to dampen all resonances and minimizes wow and flutter. Damped & height adjustable The three height adjustable damped aluminium feet guarantee the perfect stand & massively reduce risk of acoustical feedback.     SPECIFICATIONS Speed 33, 45/(78) (electronic speed change) Drive principle belt drive with electronic speed control Platter 300mm, die cast aluminium platter with TPE damping and felt mat Platter bearing high precision stainless steel axle in bronze bushing Wow & flutter 33: +/-0,16%; 45: +/-0,14% Speed drift 33: +/-0,40%; 45: +/-0,50% Signal to noise 68dB Tonearm 10“ S-shape aluminium; SME connector Effective arm length / mass 254 mm / 8 g Overhang 16mm Included accessories 15V DC / 0,8A power supply, dust cover, 78 RPM round belt, 7‘‘ single adapter, Record Puck E Power consumption 4W / 0W standby Dimensions (without dustcover) 462 x 145 x 345mm (W x H x D) Dimensions (dustcover opened) 462 x 383 x 430mm (W x H x D) Weight 7kg NET
