Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon Turntable - Red
Manual Turntable with 8.6" Carbon Tonearm
The RPM 1 Carbon utilizes a range of innovations and enhancements for an exceptional audio experience. Its low resonance chassis holds a newly designed inverted platter bearing with a ceramic ball to further reduce rumble. An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven by an ultra-precision AC generator with a DC power supply, enhancing speed stability.
The completely new S-shaped tonearm tube is crafted from carbon fiber, aluminum, and resin through a complex 3-step process involving heat treatment and 100 bar pressure. This strengthens the arm tube rigidity, maximizes internal damping, and minimizes resonances, making the tonearm suitable for MC cartridges. Additional features include a new magnetic antiskating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight.
The RPM 1 Carbon is available with or without the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge and includes a super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance Pro-Ject Connect it E phono cable.
