Pro-Ject Debut PRO B

The Debut PRO B - with balanced MM cartridge

In 1991, Pro-Ject surprised the hi-fi world with a record player that impressed with its outstanding sound and extremely attractive price. The secret of this first Pro-Ject turntable lay in its design, which was completely reduced to the most essential functions. However, the materials and technologies used were uncompromisingly selected with the best possible playback quality in mind.

Following this philosophy, a comprehensive range of turntables, electronic components and loudspeakers has been developed over the years. The models in the Debut line are among the best-selling quality turntables in the world. Now the company is celebrating this unique success story by presenting a very special model to mark its 30th anniversary: the new Debut PRO.

TRUE BALANCED

The Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge fitted here is a revised version of the Pick it PRO, which gives you "True Balanced" signal transmission. It is the first balanced-compatible MM pickup system in the world! The big advantage of a balanced connection is the ability to remove recorded noise and interference.
