Description
This package has been put together to provide everything you need to play 78 rpm records on the Pro-Ject Debut Turntables* and Xpression Turntab;e models.
This package includes:
- Pro-Ject Speedbox Mk2 (also enables push button 33 and 45 speed change)
- Pro-Ject 78 rpm adapter pulley
- Ortofon OM78 stylus
Playing 78s requires your turntable to spin at 78 rpm. This facility is possible on the Pro-Ject Debut Mk3 and Pro-Ject Xpression, RPM4, RPM5 and RPM6 through the use of the Pro-Ject Speedbox Mk2 and the 78 rpm adapter pulley. Thus equipped, these turntables can run at 33, 45 and 78 rpm. These turntables will play 78s without the inclusion of the Speedbox but will then be unable to play 45s unless you change the spindle back to the original.
In addition shellac 78s require a special stylus. This package includes an Ortofon OM78 stylus which is easily and quickly swapped for the standard OM5e stylus which comes with the Pro-Ject Debut and is specifically designed to play shellac 78s.
You may be very surprised at how good old 78s actually sound when played on a good quality turntable using an appropriate stylus.
These products can be purchased seperately (see below).
*IMPORTANT NOTE: The Pro-Ject Debut Mk3 Phono SB already comes with the correct pulley and a Speedbox, so only requires the OM78 stylus. The standard Debut and the Xpression can play 78s with the Pulley Kit and OM78 and without the speedbox but will then only play 33 and 78rpm.
