Description
The first Pro-Ject Debut turntable, introduced in the late 1990s, was a revolution for the hi-fi industry. For the first time after the arrival of Compact Disc and the assumed demise of vinyl records, an analog product re-emerged in the “mass market” – something all music lovers could afford. The new Debut RecordMaster has been designed to set new standards in this category, utilizing decades of turntable design and manufacturing experience. Audiophile performance without gimmicks, high performance without fussy setup and calibration. It comes with a 300mm steel platter belt drive design is decoupled from the MDF plinth with a TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) suspension. A high-precision, DC-driven AC generator creates ultimate speed stability (no need for expense and noise of stroboscope speed adjustment). Push-button electronic speed change (like the legendary “Speed Box“ control) to easily change between 33.3 and 45 RPM, and the capability of playing 78rpm. A simple exchange of stylus to OM78 (not included) and a drive belt turnover to a larger diameter of pulley is required, that´s all! Like all Pro-Ject designs, the Recordmaster eschews frills and silly “features”, focusing on performance and preservation of your vinyl collection Dustcover, and factory mounted/aligned Ortofon cartridge included. Available by special order in high-gloss black, red, and white.
Upgrade Your Debut Turntable
Most Debut owners are already aware of Acryl it – a stylish acrylic record platter that elevates the performance of all Debut variants via resonance control. Now you can further upgrade the platter assembly with Pro-Ject’s Debut Alu Sub-Platter – a higher-precision design that adds mass to the drive system, thus delivering improved speed stability and even more resonance control than Acryl it alone. Whether you own the new Debut Carbon EVO, Debut Carbon DC, Esprit, RecordMaster, or even the older Debut III (among others!), your analog system stands to benefit from the Debut Alu Sub-Platter.
