Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon (2M Silver) Turntable - Red
Manual Turntable with 10" Carbon Tonearm
Enhanced Performance
The RPM 3 Carbon incorporates evolutionary enhancements to elevate the performance of the RPM series. Its low-resonance chassis houses an inverted platter bearing with a ceramic ball, further reducing rumble. The outboard 15V AC motor is driven by an ultra-precision AC generator with a DC power supply, enhancing speed stability. The 10" S-shaped tonearm is crafted from carbon fiber, aluminum, and resin using a complex 3-step process involving heat treatment and 100-bar pressure. This process strengthens the arm tube rigidity, maximizes internal damping, and minimizes resonances, making it suitable for MC cartridges. Additional features include a magnetic antiskating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight.
Product Options
The RPM 3 Carbon is available with or without the Ortofon 2M-Silver cartridge. It includes a super-shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance Pro-Ject Connect it E phono cable for superior audio performance.
