Turntables — Pro-Ject Debut PRO S Balanced EXPO 2025 Edition

The Debut PRO S Balanced EXPO 2025 Edition is an accomplished belt-drive turntable from Pro-Ject, part of a special exhibition edition, built with a pre-installed 8.6-inch s-shape aluminium tonearm. The Debut PRO S Balanced EXPO 2025 Edition brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to a serious three-speed analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Three speeds are supported - 33, 45, and 78rpm - via belt drive with a pre-installed 8.6-inch s-shape aluminium tonearm, driven by a DC motor. Wow and flutter is a low 0.16% at 33rpm or 0.14% at 45rpm - a respectable figure for the category. Signal-to-noise ratio is 68dB. At 415 x 113 x 320mm and 6.0kg, the Debut PRO S Balanced EXPO 2025 Edition maintains a manageable, complete turntable package.

Sound and use context

Expect an accomplished, dependable vinyl playback experience reflecting the low 0.14-0.16% wow-and-flutter figures, with the comprehensive three-speed capability accommodating vintage 78rpm discs alongside standard vinyl.

Pairing

Buyers should confirm cartridge compatibility directly with Pro-Ject or an authorised dealer to complete this turntable's analogue front end, given the pre-installed s-shape tonearm.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's own Debut Reference 10 offers a considerably more accomplished alternative within the same broader Debut catalogue.
