Taking the need to think about peripherals and necessary extras out of the equation as well as offering a solution that you can trust to look after your records as well as you do; the Colourful Audio System is your answer - all in one box.
Debut Carbon EVO
The Debut Carbon EVO focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable sound great. Technically correct design - expert craftsmanship - handmade in the EU. This turntable is built to last you a lifetime!
Additional features that might negatively impact the overall audio performance or longevity are left out. At that level of sonic performance, it is always better to opt for a separate phono stage. That‘s why Pro-Ject included the integrated amplifier MaiA S3 in this set.
The heavy and solid MDF plinth with new 8x hand-painted finishes look and feel better than ever before. They have been carefully chosen to reflect current trends and customer fashions.
The new platter, motor-suspension, speed control and height-adjustable feet are small details when taken individually but as a whole they add up and result in a new Debut that does not only sound better than before, but also looks and feels better and more impressive than any Debut ever has, by a long shot.
Maia S3
The MaiA (My Audio Integrated Amplifier) S3 is the all in one solution for your hifi system. With its 8 inputs you are ready for any kind of source device.
It offers a phono RCA input for MM, MI or high output MC cartridges as well as three line RCA inputs for e.g. the CD Box S3. You can also connect digital sources like your TV or a CD transport via the coax or optical S/PDIF inputs and use the MaiA S3 DAC with a quality up to 24bit and 192kHz. If you want to stream your music from your mobile phone, tablet or pc you can simply connect to the high definition AptX HD capable Bluetooth 5.0 input with a sound quality up to 24-bit & 48kHz which is better than the standard CD quality.
