About the Debut III

The Pro-Ject Debut III is a high-quality manual turntable designed for audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts entering the hi-fi world. It includes an Ortofon OM 5E moving magnet cartridge pre-installed and aligned, a robust 10" balanced steel platter weighing 1.3 kg with a felt mat, and a precision 8.6" one-piece aluminum tonearm. The turntable operates at 33-1/3 and 45 rpm speeds with an optional 78 rpm available. It features a quiet running AC motor with a two-step pulley driving the platter via a flat-ground belt, with the motor decoupled from the medium density fiberboard plinth to reduce vibration transmission. The platter's stainless steel axle runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass housing for smooth rotation. The plinth rests on four shock-absorbing feet. The turntable includes a dust cover and comes with a high-quality Connect it E phono cable with gold-plated RCA connectors. It has a signal-to-noise ratio of 65 dB and wow & flutter of ±0.12%. The Debut III is available in flat black and several custom colors for an additional cost. It is backed by a 2-year warranty on parts and labor for the turntable and 1 year for the cartridge.
