Pro-Ject Unveils the Colourful Audio System 2 and Colourful Audio System E: Ready-made Setups for Vinyl Fans
Pro-Ject’s packages deliver everything needed for a premium vinyl setup, combining vibrant aesthetics with high-performance sound.
Pro-Ject Audio Systems introduces the Colourful Audio System 2 and Colourful Audio System E – two complete hi-fi systems that make it easier than ever to enjoy wonderful stereo sound. Each system includes a turntable, amplifier, and stereo speakers, delivering high-performance hi-fi without the complexity of choosing and matching components.
Expert sound, effortless setup
In the world of hi-fi, a well-matched separates system – made up of a source, an amplifier, and a pair of stereo speakers – offers an incredibly lifelike and hugely enjoyable listening experience. However, assembling the right components can feel overwhelming, especially when a turntable is involved. The Colourful Audio System 2 and Colourful Audio System E break down this barrier by providing expertly curated combinations of high-quality components, making true stereo sound and the enduring wonder of vinyl immediately accessible.
Everything – including a cartridge and the necessary cables – arrives in one box for easy setup. The result? Specialist hi-fi performance without the complexity, plus – crucially – the flexibility to upgrade over time. The potential to upgrade the Colourful Audio Systems is a key advantage over many alternative systems, including all-in-one active speaker systems, where meaningful upgrades typically require replacing the entire set-up.
Two systems, multiple colours, stunning stereo sound
The Colourful Audio System 2 comprises a Debut EVO 2 turntable, a MaiA S3 amplifier and a pair of Speaker Box 5 S2 bookshelf speakers. The Debut EVO 2 is a stunning deck featuring a carbon fibre tonearm and a heavy, damped aluminium platter. It comes fitted with the excellent Pick it MM EVO cartridge. The S3 amplifier measures just 206 cm wide but packs a punch, delivering 40 watts of power per channel and accommodating eight inputs, including wireless Bluetooth and a phono stage. The set also includes Pro-Ject’s Damp it rubber feet for optimal isolation of the speakers from the turntable and a pair of terminated Connect it LS E speaker cables. The MaiA amp comes in black, and the turntable and speakers are available in six satin finishes (Black, Fir Green, Golden Yellow, Steel Blue, White, and Wine Red), with Wine Red being exclusive to this system, as well as a Walnut real wood veneer.
The Colourful Audio System E pairs the Debut E turntable with the Stereo Box E amplifier and Speaker Box 5 E Carbon bookshelf speakers. Pro-Ject designed the Debut E turntable specifically for this package, and it is only available as part of the Colourful Audio System E. The new deck features a solid MDF plinth, aluminium tonearm, and Ortofon OM5e cartridge, while the Stereo Box E amplifier ticks off 40W per channel, six inputs, and Bluetooth streaming. The Speaker Box 5 E Carbon speakers feature a silk dome tweeter paired with a carbon fibre woofer for precise, dynamic sound. Like its counterpart, the Colourful Audio System E offers a choice of satin finishes (Black, Fir Green, Golden Yellow, Steel Blue, and White) plus a Walnut veneer option, with the amplifier finished in black.
