Platine Vinyle Pro-Ject Debut PRO B : "B" comme "Balanced" pour "symétrique"

Debut-PRO-B-cutout-frontal+record-puck-pro+dustcover.jpg
Le constructeur austro-tchèque Pro-Ject, grand spécialiste des platines vinyles, a récemment lancé la Debut PRO B. Celle-ci se différencie de la PRO "standard", par sa cellule de type symétrique (fournie et associée à une sortie ad hoc).
Pour le reste, la Pro-ject Debut Pro B est un modèle à entrainement par courroie avec contrôle électronique de la vitesse. Elle est dotée d'un bras associant aluminium et fibre de carbone. Sa base est un épais panneau de bois en MDF. Son plateau tournant en aluminium est amorti par un ruban de TPE. Son axe de rotation repose sur un bloc en aluminium plaqué nickel.
La Pro-Ject Debut Pro B est positionnée à 900 €.

Debut-PRO-B-detail-tonearm.jpg

8,6‘‘ Carbon-Aluminium Tonearm​

The Debut PRO B features a one-piece carbon-aluminium sandwich tonearm.
The carbon layer gives the tonearm a high degree of rigidity, while the inner aluminium tube takes over the damping of the tonearm.
This super stiff and uniquely dampened tonearm construction ensures perfect tracking of the record groove.

VTA_Azimut.jpg

Adjustable VTA & Azimuth​

With the new tonearm of the Debut PRO B, both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA) can be set. The tonearm height can be continuously adjusted by loosening the two grub screws.
These settings of the Debut PRO B give you the option of adapting the tonearm to height changes, al lowing the use of different turntable mats or other cartridges to always achieve the best sound quality.

Nickel-plated metal parts​

The nickel finish of the aluminum components results in a hard, resistant surface. This process enables us to produce very high-quality and sustainable components and avoid plastics and similar materials that continue to age over time.
The precision CNC milled parts are optically perfectly coordinated and lead the Debut PRO B to its modern simple, elegant and unprecedented design.

Perfect speed.jpg

Always the perfect speed​

The speed, electronically controlled with precision, guarantees the most accurate and stable speeds. Change between speeds easily with the toggle switch. With the supplied round belt for 78 rpm, you can also listen to your shellac records.
So that no motor vibrations reach the pickup, the Debut PRO B has the new, proven motor suspension, which is responsible for the perfect decoupling of the motor.

The dampened platter​

The die-cast aluminum platter gets reworked and precision balanced in an extra step to obtain a perfect platter.
The heavy aluminum platter has a ring made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) on the inside that helps to dampen all resonances and thus minimize wow and flutter.

Pick-it-Pro-Balanced.jpg

True Balanced​

The included Pro-Ject Pick it PRO Balanced cartrid ge allows you a „True Balanced“ signal transmission.
This new Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge is a revised version of the Pick it PRO which allows you a „True Balanced“ signal transmission.
The big advantage of a balanced connection is its ability to remove picked up noise and interferences.
Our „True Balanced“ cable range offers you the perfect cable to connect your turntable to the Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B or our Tube Box DS3 B.

High quality phono cable​

Cables are not able to make your sound system sound better, but they ensure that every detail and information of the signal is transmitted to the dedicated receiving device.
The included Connect it Phono E RCA is a high quality phono optimized cable. We focused on quality core materials like a copper conductor for a signal transmission without losses.

Sophisticated DC/AC power generator​

In all our turntables, we use a “cheap looking” switch mode power supply. We do this, as we use a precision DC-driven AC generator inside the turntable, which powers the motor.
With this we create a completely clean new sine wave. This guarantees very clean power which results in enhanced speed stability.

The upgrade for your phono setup​

A clean and stable power is necessary for your phono setup. The included power supply is already a good base, but we want to go further.
The Power Box S3 Phono provides power for the Debut PRO B and also a Pro-Ject phono preamp. Its two outputs are specifically engineered to power Pro-Ject turntables and phono preamps.
The sophisticated DC filtration can have a dramatic impact on the sound quality.
In addition to the sound improvements, Power Box S3 Phono also offers its users a cleaner cable solution, avoiding PSU and cable mess.
