Pro-Ject has expanded its vibrant lineup with the introduction of the Colourful Audio System 2 and the more accessible Colourful Audio System E, catering to both seasoned vinyl enthusiasts and newcomers to high-fidelity audio.
The Colourful Audio System 2 is priced at £1,799 and is available in seven distinctive finishes, including Black, Fir Green, Golden Yellow, Steel Blue, White, Wine Red, and a Walnut wood veneer. This bundle features the Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 turntable, renowned for its exceptional performance in its category. The turntable is equipped with an Ortofon moving magnet cartridge, a non-magnetic platter, and a low-friction precision tonearm bearing, ensuring smooth and accurate playback. Complementing the turntable is the MaiA S3 micro-amplifier, which offers eight inputs, including a future-proof phono stage supporting MM, MI, and high-output MC cartridges, along with Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD for high-quality wireless streaming.
Accompanying the core components are the Speaker Box 5 S2 bookshelf speakers, which deliver lush mids and tight bass through their 130mm fiberglass cones and 25mm silk dome tweeters. The system's cohesive design and technical prowess make it a compelling choice for those seeking both aesthetic appeal and robust audio performance.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the Colourful Audio System E is available at £1,099. This version replaces the Debut EVO 2 with the Debut E turntable, the MaiA S3 amplifier with the Stereo Box E, and the Speaker Box 5 S2 speakers with the Speaker Box 5 E Carbons. Despite the reduced price, the System E maintains quality with the Debut E's solid MDF plinth, aluminum tonearm, and Ortofon OM5e cartridge, alongside the Stereo Box E’s 40 watts per channel and six input options. The Speaker Box 5 E Carbons continue to provide excellent sound with their silk dome tweeters and carbon fiber woofers.
Both systems are designed with upgradeability in mind, allowing users to enhance individual components over time as their audio needs and budgets evolve. Pro-Ject's latest offerings, available from March 2025, blend colorful aesthetics with technical excellence, making high-fidelity audio more accessible and visually engaging.
