Pro-Ject Audio Systems is a manufacturer of audiophile equipment, founded in 1991 by Heinz Lichtenegger[1] and located in Mistelbach,[2] Austria. Pro-Ject Audio Systems designs the products in Austria and produces them in Europe (the manufacturing plants are in Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia). It produces a range of audio equipment including a family of turntables,[3][4] which are often quoted as reference entry-level models. Pro-Ject Audio Systems also manufactures a range of micro hi-fi components such as Amps, CD Transports, Phono Stages, Streaming Devices, Loudspeakers and more.[5][6][7][8] Today, Pro-Ject Audio Systems ship into more than 80 countries world-wide. Since 2015 Pro-Ject has released limited edition turntables in cooperation with the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Hans Theessink, Parov Stelar, and the Vienna Philharmonic.

Pro-Ject Audio Systems is a division of Audio Tuning, that also owns Musical Fidelity, Rekkord Audio and TONE Factory.

The Debut Line are entry-level to mid-range turntables designed for vinyl enthusiasts. These turntables are known for their high-quality sound, affordability, and ease of use. They come in a variety of colors and feature a belt-driven design, which helps reduce noise and vibrations that can impact sound quality. Some models come with built-in phono preamps, which allow them to be connected directly to powered speakers or other amplifiers without the need for a separate phono preamp.
