From Vienna Workshop to Vinyl Revolution

Pro-Ject Audio Systems has championed analog excellence since 1991, founded by Heinz Lichtenegger with the revolutionary idea that high-quality turntables should be accessible to all music lovers. Based in Vienna, the company transformed the vinyl landscape by proving exceptional performance didn't require luxury pricing.

The Debut series launched this democratization of vinyl, becoming the world's best-selling turntable line by delivering Austrian engineering precision at unprecedented value. Each generation has refined the formula while maintaining the core philosophy: make vinyl reproduction both excellent and approachable.

The Turntable That Perfected the Performance Formula

The Debut Carbon EVO represents Pro-Ject's ultimate refinement of their legendary Debut concept, incorporating decades of analog expertise into one perfectly balanced package. This isn't just another entry-level turntable—it's a precision instrument that delivers reference-level performance at a price that makes serious vinyl reproduction accessible.

The EVO designation signifies evolutionary improvements throughout, from the upgraded carbon fiber tonearm to the precision bearing system that eliminates the compromises typically found in this price category.
