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 entering a small barrel jack on the rear; the DC barrel input and ground screw post are omitted here because neither connector is in the approved Cablebabe database (flagged for manual review).
