thejesseb Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Decided to finally get one of these so I dont have to keep moving the belt. Everywhere seems to have the same price. Anyone know of a place that has a coupon code to use on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefinalsound Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Not sure how much shipping from Hawaii would end up being, but this would be a pretty good deal. http://app.audiogon.com/listings/turntables-pro-ject-speedbox-ii-2013-10-17-analog-96822-honolulu-hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbbrew22 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I would totally get that if it worked with the carbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link but I need a Speed Box S The Speed Box II works with North American Debut Carbon's. They have a 16V/AC power supply. The difference between the Speed Box II and the Speed Box S is the S has a standby switch. Daniel Dopp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethrock Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 http://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=48460 Read through this, seems like the Speed Box II might actually be compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The North American Debut Carson has a 16V/AC power supply. "Debut Carbon and Debut Carbon Esprit can not be used with the Speed Box II because they require a 230 volt connection. " The NA Debut Carbon are not 230 volt so this note isn't relevant to North American customers. I work for a Pro-Ject dealer in Canada and have physically tried a Speed Box II and Speed Box S in the Debut Carbon. Daniel Dopp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troymess Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Bumping this topic because I just bought a Pro-ject Speed Box S (black) from Needle Doctor to go with my Pro-ject Debut Carbon (which I bought from Musician's Friend) and am a little concerned. Everywhere I've read says that I need a 16 volt turntable to use this speed box, but my Debut Carbon says 15v on the back of the turntable. The wall wart also says 15v. However, I've read on VC in a few posts that the Speed Box S works with the Debut Carbon. Can anyone confirm this or should I cancel my order for the speed box? Here's an image I found online of what the back of mine looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heypeterman Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Well the Debut Carbon's power supply is definitely 15V and the input on the turntable is marked 15V but the short answer is it's okay with a 16V power supply via the Speed Box. We didn't have a Speed Box to test so we tested a Rega TT-PSU. We tested the line frequency at our store and we were getting fluctuations of 60.001 to 60.005. This is the important part when determining the platter speed. Voltage doesn't factor into the speed. The Speed Box and TT-PSU compensate for the fluctuations in line frequency and send out the exact frequency required for 33rpm and 45rpm.

Thank you so much for testing, I feel much better about not wasting my $129. If I was in your neck of the woods, I would bring all my business to you.

DawgPound1946 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Just got the Speed Box S today, and hooked up to a NA Debut Carbon. Works great so far! I thought at first it was crazy to spend 100+ dollars on this thing, but with all the 45RPM LPs now a-days, it's totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Okay, so I'm bumping this. I'm in the same boat, my Debut Carbon says 15V on the back and I have a speed box II left over from my old debut iii... carbon was doing okay on 33pm and but noticed when i switch it over to 45rpm, the tone arm actually shakes and creates a hum... what's the dealio? am i going to break something if i keep running the speedbox ii through my turntable? is the speedbox s going to give me the same result as both put out 16V?

dethrock Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Do you have the belt on the right speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 yea, ran the same setup with my debut iii...even tried changing the belts and no avail...if it's on 45rpm, it vibrates also switched out the stock 15V wall plug with the 16V that came with the box...same results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
