Key Features
The Pro-Ject Colourful Audio System 2 sits at the top of the Colourful Audio System range, refining the original Colourful Audio System and offering a more advanced alternative to the Colourful Audio System E. It centres around the Debut EVO 2 Turntable, an upgrade from the original's Debut Carbon EVO, featuring a one-piece conical carbon tonearm, Pick It MM EVO Cartridge, and a TPE-damped aluminium platter for improved resonance control.
Paired with the MaiA S3 Integrated Amplifier and Speaker Box 5 S2 Bookshelf Speakers, the Colour Audio System 2 delivers true high-fidelity sound with modern digital convenience, including aptX HD Bluetooth streaming. With a spacious soundstage, deep bass for its size, and a warm analogue character, it’s a hassle-free way to enjoy authentic stereo sound. Whether you're spinning records, streaming music, or upgrading your TV’s audio, this system offers quality without complexity. Find out more about the products in this system below!

"An appealing deck in looks and sound, the friendly, enthusiastic Evo 2 delights with a delicate way with voices and smooth presentation"
“This is still utterly loyal to the Debut concept but now delivering a level of performance you would never have suspected the original was capable of”
"this is the best turntable I've listened to under £1,000 and the best all-round Debut I have yet to test full stop. Pro-Ject's long-running affordable superstar clearly has plenty of life left in it."
“Frankly, the Evo 2 is one of the most competitively priced HiFi turntable packages I can find on sale right now...With the widest choice of colour options and finishes available from any turntable maker, the new Debut Evo 2 is one of most attractive and best value turntable packages you can buy right now”.
At the core of the Colourful Audio System 2 is the Debut EVO 2, a turntable designed for audiophile-level vinyl playback. Built with precision in Europe, it comes factory-fitted with the Pick It MM EVO Cartridge on an 8.6-inch one-piece carbon tonearm, ensuring accurate tracking and minimal resonance. Designed for ease-of-use, it’s ready to play with minimal setup. The heavy, die-cast aluminium platter is TPE-damped for stable rotation, minimising wow and flutter, while electronic speed control ensures precise playback at 33 and 45 RPM. Available in a range of stunning satin colours, the Debut EVO 2 is as visually striking as it is sonically refined.
Compact yet powerful, the MaiA S3 serves as the control hub of the system, offering analogue and digital versatility. With eight inputs, including a dedicated phono stage, coaxial and optical digital inputs, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, this amplifier is ready for turntables, CD players, TVs, and wireless streaming. The Texas Instruments power amplifier delivers detailed and dynamic audio, while the built-in Cirrus Logic DAC ensures high-resolution playback up to 24-bit/192kHz. A 6.3mm headphone output lets you enjoy private listening, while the subwoofer output provides an easy path for future system expansion and lets you fill the room with sound.
To complete the system, Pro-Ject includes the Speaker Box 5 S2, delivering dynamic sound in a compact design. A 25mm silk-dome tweeter ensures detailed highs, while a 130mm fibreglass woofer produces full-bodied mids and good bass for their size. To further enhance performance, Pro-Ject includes these essential accessories: a pair of three-metre Connect-it LS E Speaker Cables for out-of-the-box setup, Damp-it Isolation Feet to minimise unwanted resonance, and acoustically transparent grilles that protect the drivers without radically diminishing sound quality. Designed and handmade in Europe, these speakers deliver a polished look and quality performance.
