The Debut Carbon EVO is an entry-audiophile turntable built around an 8.6-inch carbon-fibre tonearm and a factory-fitted Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge. Its rear panel offers a fixed MM phono-level RCA output with a dedicated ground lug — no built-in preamp and no line-level switch, so the receiver or amplifier side must provide phono input or an external phono stage. A separate 15V DC wall-wart feeds the motor via a small barrel jack and keeps mains noise out of the signal path. Replacement ground wires and low-capacitance Connect It E phono cables are the only accessories most owners ever need.
Belt-drive turntable with fixed MM-phono RCA output, dedicated ground terminal, and external 15V DC wall-adapter power.

Notes & Compatibility
Signal output is phono-level only — the Debut Carbon EVO has NO built-in phono preamp and NO phono/line switch (unlike the AT-LP120XUSB / SL-1500C), so it must connect to a phono input or an external phono stage. Ships with a semi-balanced Pro-Ject Connect It E RCA phono cable and a separate ground wire. Powered by an external 15V DC 0.8A wall-wart into a small barrel jack on the rear; that power input and the ground screw post aren’t listed in the port table. Speed is changed electronically with a rocker switch under the plinth (33/45/78 RPM), so there’s no belt to move by hand. Outside the US it ships with an Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge instead of the Sumiko Rainier.
