Description
Introducing the Debut EVO 2 turntable! The Debut lineage holds firm footing among the best-selling hi-fi record players of the 21st century. Most recently, Debut III, Debut Carbon DC & Debut Carbon EVO have illustrated to the audio world just how good vinyl records can sound – and always at real-world prices. This has long been the goal of the Debut range: to put all our eggs in the basket of sound quality while stripping away unnecessary convenience-oriented features that might detract from sonic performance. We call it the “Industry Standard in Value” because nowhere else in the market can you obtain such an blend of sophisticated hi-fi implements so affordably.
Debut EVO 2 – What’s New
The Debut EVO 2 turntable takes the torch passed along by Debut Carbon EVO, and it’s dressed to impress. The following changes are onboard…
Improved Tonearm Bearing Block & Counterweight
The tonearm pivot assembly might look familiar. It now uses the same bearing block as Debut PRO B. The additional mass draws unwanted resonance away from the armtube & cartridge. It also provides a more stable anchor for the tonearm’s pivot. The anti-skating scale at attached to the bearing block too, making it quite a bit easier to work with. We reduce resonance to an even greater degree with a TPE-damped counterweight. These improvements along with the carbon fiber tube & ABEC 7 ball/race bearing provide effortless tracking with no friction, allowing all the micro-detail through.
Improved Record Platter
Another implement that comes courtesy of the Debut PRO B & XA B turntables, this has quickly become one of our favorite vinyl record platters. 1.7kg (3.75 lbs) heavy, the platter is CNC-machined from aluminum. Additional machining is applied in the precision-balancing process, which ascertains the platter is completely steady & even as it rotates. To eliminate any potential for unwanted resonance created by the metal material, we’ve machined a ridge into the underside of the platter & filled it with TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). This mutes any potential ‘ringing’ effect. Adding the cutout & TPE to the periphery of the platter also heighten the ‘flywheel effect,’ or rotational stability. Last & certainly not least, the use of aluminum instead of steel makes way for any and all moving coil phono cartridges. Since MC cartridges use much stronger magnets than do moving magnet cartridges, some MCs had potential for magnetic interaction with the steel platter supplied with the Debut Carbon EVO. This risk is now off the ‘table (pun intended).
Take a closer look.
Correct Anti-Skating
Adaptive skating force
As the skating force varies between the inner and outer grooves of the vinyl record, our anti-skating mechanism adjusts accordingly.
Carbon fiber
Super stiff and lightweight
The new Debut EVO 2 features the a 8,6‘‘ one piece carbon tonearm design. The super stiff, but lightweight tonearm delivers an insane sound quality with a convincing sound stage.
Premium Bearing
Smooth movement
The precise CNC milled aluminium bearing offers very low friction and best stability.
The new Pick it MM EVO
The new Pick it MM EVO cartridge completes the Debut EVO 2 in all respects. It doesn‘t only complement the lightweight tonearm sound-wise, it also looks stunning on the turntable. Our phono specialists again teamed up with the cartridge experts at Ortofon from Denmark to work on this new cartridge. The cartridge is made from a unique combination of technologies. One of which is Ortofon‘s well known split pole pins. This enables it to have a flat frequency response, which is comparable to MC cartridges.
Backside beauty.
We love a clean look, not only on the topside. The new Debut EVO 2 is the first turntable where we included the RCA output box and the power socket into the plinth. The result speaks for itself.
Premium Connection
The gold plated RCA sockets on the Debut EVO 2 will always provide the best connection. The included high Connect it Phono E RCA uses quality core materials like a copper conductor for a signal transmission without losses. This cable is a semi-symmetrical type, which means that the shielding is only connected on one end. Therefore, the yellow marked side should always be connected to the receiving end.
Due to the RCA output sockets you can always change and upgrade the phono cable. This allows you to upgrade the Debut EVO 2 to our True Balanced technology. To use our True Balanced Connection, your Debut EVO 2 needs to be equipped with an MC cartridge or Pick it PRO Balanced.
Smooth drive.
Quality Motor
Sophisticated suspension
Our high quality AC motor is mounted into a porper suspension system which consistently reduces vibrations.
Clean Power
DC/AC power generator
The power generator creates a completely clean new sine wave for the motor. This guarantees very clean power which results in enhanced speed stability.
Belt Drive
Precision belt
The belt decouples the motor from the big sub platter. This prevents motor vibrations to travel to the needle.
33 / 45 RPM
Electronic speed change
The rocker switch on the bottom of the turntable allows you to change speeds with the push of only a single button.
