Pro-Ject Debut III Phono SB Turntable - Silver

Manual turntable with fitted cartridge Ortofon OM 5E, electro-mechanic speed change and integrated MM phono pre-amplifier.
Good sound from sound technology:
- Tonearm bearing comprises inverted hardened stainless-steel points and sapphire thrust-pads
- Headshell and armtube formed from a single aluminium workpiece, rotation allows adjustment of needle azimuth despite fixed headshell
- Steel platter with felt mat
- Low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass bearing housing
- Motor decoupled to reduce vibration
Features:
- Supplied with Ortofon OM 5E cartridge fitted
- Pro-Ject 8.6 tonearm
- Equipped with internal phono pre-amplifier (MM)
- Electronic speed change for 33 and 45 rpm
- Mechanic speed change for 78 rpm
- Dust cover
- Available in Black matt and Silver
Turntable:
- A quit running AC motor with a two-step metal pulley drives the hub and platter via a flatter-ground belt.
- The medium density fibre plinth stands on four feet which act as shock absorbers.
- The motor is decoupled from the plinth to reduce vibration transmission.
- The platter is a sandwich construction utilising the hub, a sheet-steel platter weighing 1,3 kg and a felt mat.
- The platter’s low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass bearing house.
- Electronic speed change for 33/45 rpm; switching to 78 rpm is done manually
- External power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference.
Tonearm Pro-Ject 8.6:
- The turntable is supplied with Ortofon OM 5E MM-cartridge fitted.
- Uniform material: the tonearm tube and bearing housing are constructed from aluminium.
- The headshell and undamped armtube are fashioned from a single piece.
- The inverted horizontal bearing consists of two hardened stainless steel points bearing in sapphire cushes.
- Flexible counterweight shaft avoids vibration at undesirable frequencies.
- Single-screw fixing of armtube allows rotation for easy adjustment of needle azimuth despite fixed headshell.
- The straight armtube with an effective length of 8.6’ reduces toe-in error.
- The internal wiring consists of high-grade flexible copper from the headshell right through to the connection cable
- The connection cable has gold-plated plugs and appropriate capacitance and inductance values.
- Dimensions W x H x D: 415 x 118 x 320 mm (with dust cover closed); 415 x 365 x 405 mm (with dust cover open)
- A supplied 3,5 mm connector can be used to connect the device to any line level / auxillary input (e.g. Computer, Midi System, Mixer).
