Our turntables demand conscious music listening. The Debut PRO S takes this philosophy to the extreme. We finished all parts except for the polished spindle in matte black. The manual controls invite the listener to interact with the turntable: turn it on, place the record on the platter, move and lower the tonearm. The musical reward follows the tactile experience. No unnecessary switches, LEDs, or labeling distract from what’s essential.
The Debut PRO S is available for MSRP 899 € (incl. VAT) with premounted Pro-Ject Pick it S2 C cartridge. At Pro-Ject dealers in September 2022.
The Debut PRO S is a bigger, better more elegant Debut
A wider plinth
That’s right: The Debut PRO S is wider. We increased the plinth width to 465mm, which gives the De- but PRO S the hefty stance of its bigger siblings, the X2 and X8 but the same elegant thickness as its slimmer brother, the Debut PRO. This weight gain gives the player an even sturdier foundation for your record-playback and maintaining beautiful proportions.
Don’t twist my arm
Our new s-shaped 10“ aluminium tonearm with the PRO typical full aluminium precision CNC milled bearing offers an SME-style connector. Swapping different cartridges on your turntable, our Debut PRO S is a breeze. The fully adjustable tonearm al- lows you to experiment with the turntable sound.
The precision electronic speed control guarantees highly accurate and stable speeds. Change between speeds easily with the toggle switch. You can also listen to your shellac records with the supplied round belt for 78 rpm. The diamond-cut aluminium sub-platter ensures a perfect overall speed accuracy by adding more mass to the en- tire platter and drive system, resulting in addition- al noise-damping and less unwanted resonances.
Dampened die-cast alu 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 TPE (thermo- plastic elastomer) ring on the inside that helps to dampen all resonances and thus minimize wow and flutter.
CNC precision
Take a close look at our new Debut PRO S. You won‘t find any hollow spaces or plas- tic parts. We only use high quality aluminium parts to ensure the best possible sound quality. The Debut PRO S’s precision CNC milled satin black painted parts underline the modern, simple, distinc- tive design.
The Debut PRO S is another animal. It offers more flexibility and features than any previous Debut in an exquisite, understated package.

The history of Pro-Ject
Pro-Ject was founded in 1991, during the onslaught of the compact disc and CD players, with the mission to offer the best analogue experience for a reasonable price. In a time where the digital audio media had been on the rise, and vinyl was declared as outdated and dead, Heinz Lichtenegger kept his belief in the simple but best way to enjoy music – turntables.
We aim to get as many people as possible into the wonderful hobby that is HiFi audio and to deliver a real stereo experience for the lowest cost possible. The best way to start is with a proper turntable. We want to give the customers back the right to choose what they need, without overblowing our products with unnecessary features.
Here at Pro-Ject, we strive to create astonishing products with impeccable value. We only use the best components for the price and manufacture our handmade goods solely in Europe. With an eye for future trends, we are always trying to fit the needs of the market.
Our passion and drive have been recognized by many acclaimed magazines. We have won multiple awards from the renowned HiFi press for our turntables and electronics over the years. Our products have also been used in countless TV shows and movies.
With cutting edge technologies and machines, we can create visually pleasing products without losing the eye for the finest details. We closely work with partners from the music industry, such as Universal Music Group (The Beatles), Third Man Records (Jack White), The Rolling Stones, Parov Stelar, or the world-famous Hard Rock Café. Many industry leaders also cooperate with us, like the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra or Ortofon for their jubilees. With these partners, we create special limited edition products to give our cus- tomers even more choices.
