A real stereo sound stage
The Colourful Audio System, from Pro-Ject, featuring the award-winning Debut Carbon EVO turntable, the all-in-one network streamer, Maia S3, and the compact and sturdy Speaker Box 5 S2 bookshelf speakers, is the best way to experience true hi-fi reproduction without breaking the bank. 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 and 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 its hand-painted finish looks and feels better than ever before.
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 example the CD Box S3. You can also connect digital sources such as 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.
Speaker Box 5 S2
The Speaker Box 5 S2 is characterised by its spacious and detailed sound. A 25mm silk dome tweeter delivers crystal clear highs, the 130mm fibreglass cone gives full-bodied and lush mids as well as punchy and tight bass.
The Speaker Box 5 S2 is manufactured with only the highest quality materials and all, 100% in Europe. The high quality materials used when the Speaker Box 5 S2 are created are restistant and ecofriendly. Special glue has been used to hold the cabinet together and to avoid any leakage.
Connect IT LS S2 and Damp IT
Connect IT LS S2 is a high quality speaker cable, consisting of four 0.96mm2 Solid Core conductors with circular array geometry. Each of the four conductors are created with high-purity oxygen free copper (HP-OFC).
Damp IT are particularly suitable for bookshelf speakers and prevent the transmission of structure-borne sound from subsonics up to 500 Hz. The effect is similar to electronic subsonic filters, but without their sonic disadvantages.
