Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB DC Turntable

Description

Debut Carbon Esprit SB (DC)

The Debut Carbon Esprit SB (DC) from Pro-Ject Audio Systems brings all the benefits of their popular Debut Carbon (DC) model but adds an electronic speed change and an acrylic platter. It is the perfect turntable to listen to LPs and singles, and also 78 rpm shellac records too.

The most obvious improvement is the inclusion of a carbon tube for the tonearm, which increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance. Together with other improvements like an increase in platter size and weight to deliver even smoother rotation, the overall sound quality is greatly improved.

The approved belt drive design offers a low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling (utilising TPE-damping) and ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like the Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability without unwanted vibration.

The acrylic platter gives the sound a natural liveliness, free from discolouration and resonance. This design removes the need for an additional felt mat between the record and the platter.

The included Phono RCA cable, (Connect-It E), is a high-quality semi-balanced interconnect cable with gold-plated RCA connectors that guarantees the perfect connection.
