Pro-Ject Debut III Phono USB Turntable – Black

Here we have a nice entry level turntable from Austrian company Pro-Ject. This version of the Debut III does however have an extra trick up its sleeve. It is fitted with a phono pre amplifier stage that includes a USB output which means that the turntable can be connected directly to a computer to allow you to digitise your vinyl collection. Our example is in good condition and will be suitably packaged along with power supply unit, RCA interconnect cable plus our normal three month warranty.
