The sound cell, also known as the cartridge, is included in the scope of delivery. In the US version of the Debut Carbon EVO, a Sumiko Rainier cartridge is pre-assembled, while an Ortofon 2M Red is often used in the European version.

With my model, a quiet motor noise can also be heard at 45 rpm. But only when I'm standing directly in front of the record player and no music is playing.

No, it hasn't. We bought an additional phono preamplifier (Pro-Ject Phono Box as an example). This solution also works perfectly in combination with the Sonos sound system.

Thank you very much for your comment. The size has been adjusted accordingly.
