PACK EVO II home library

This EVO II Ready to Listen pack is designed to deliver superb sound in living spaces of less than 25 m². It is made up of a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO II manual turntable, a Musical Fidelity B1xi integrated amplifier and Indiana Line Tesi 3 bookshelf speakers. maPlatine.com includes the Real Cable CBV speaker cables (2x3m) free of charge.

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO II manual turntable

The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO II manual turntable is the benchmark in this price range! Compatible with many cartridges, it comes fitted here with the Ortofon Pick It MM Evo, in a satin black finish.

Musical Fidelity B1xi integrated amplifier

The Musical Fidelity B1xi integrated amplifier features a remarkable MM phono input and a Sabre ESS90018 DAC (24/192 kHz). In some respects its balance resembles that of a valve amplifier, with highly accurate timbre. It also offers fine clarity, an excellent sense of rhythm and exceptional dynamics.

Indiana Line Tesi 3 bookshelf speakers

The Indiana Line Tesi 3 bookshelf speakers combine a 26 mm silk dome tweeter with a 160 mm mid/bass driver featuring a mica-polypropylene cone. They offer a surprisingly wide and deep soundstage, deep and articulate bass, and a very clean, transparent midrange, their strong point. The treble, detailed and precise, is never harsh.

Real Cable CBV 130016 speaker cables

The Real Cable CBV 130016 speaker cables come fitted with 24k gold-plated multipoint banana plugs. Their 99.99% pure OFC copper conductors feature HSCC braiding and double gradient insulation. They deliver transparent, very fluid reproduction with well-controlled bass.

FAQ: Everything you need to know before buying the EVO II Bookshelf pack

Who is this pack for, and what room should it go in?

This pack is aimed at music lovers looking for genuine listening quality in a living space of less than 25 m². It combines the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO II turntable, the Musical Fidelity B1xi amplifier, whose balance is close to that of a valve amplifier, and Indiana Line Tesi 3 bookshelf speakers, which build on the Tesi range recipe with new drivers and a higher-quality crossover.

Is the turntable ready to use, and can it be upgraded later?

All our turntables are assembled, adjusted and tested in our workshop before shipping, whether sold on their own or as part of a pack. The Debut Carbon EVO II comes with the Ortofon Pick It MM Evo cartridge but remains compatible with many cartridges, including some MC models thanks to its anti-magnetic platter and the tonearm's 10 g effective mass. Its detachable tonearm cables also allow an upgrade to a higher-performance cable; azimuth is adjustable on the arm, while VTA requires the optional Pro-Ject VTA IT spacer.

Do I need a separate phono preamp, and what else can I connect?

No separate preamp is needed in this pack: the Musical Fidelity B1xi has a dedicated MM phono input that the turntable connects to directly. It is also very well equipped, with an ESS Sabre DAC (coaxial and optical inputs up to 24-bit/192 kHz), an HDMI ARC input for your TV and Bluetooth. You can therefore combine vinyl with a digital source in the same system.

How should the Indiana Line speakers be positioned, and is cabling included?

The Tesi 3 use bass-reflex loading through a port that opens at the bottom of the front panel. We recommend placing them about 2 m apart, at least 15 cm from the rear wall and between 50 and 70 cm off the floor, on a piece of furniture or dedicated speaker stands. Their single gold-plated terminal accepts bare wire, banana plugs and spades, and maPlatine.com includes the Real Cable CBV cables (2x3m) with gold-plated banana plugs free of charge.
