Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon incl. Ortofon 2M Red

RPM 1 Carbon

Manual turntable with 8.6'' carbon tonearm

The entry into the RPM world

The RPM-1 Carbon comes up with a wealth of innovative new features and evolutionary developments: A low-resonance chassis offers space for a newly designed inverted turntable bearing, whose ceramic ball ensures reduced rumble. The free standing motor unit with 15V synchronous motor is powered by a precision alternator with DC power supply. This ultra pure power supply for the motor ensures outstanding running smoothness and is a rarity in this price range. The revolutionary new design of the S-shaped tonearm uses a material mix of carbon fibre, aluminum and synthetic resin for the tonearm tube. Through a very complex 3-stage process, heat treatment under 100bar high pressure achieves outstanding rigidity, maximum internal damping and low resonance, which is why this tonearm is also suitable for MC cartridges. Magnetic anti-skating and a TPE-damped counterweight are among the other highlights that make the RPM-1 Carbon a stylish miracle of sound!

The RPM 1 Carbon is optionally available with or without Ortofon 2M Red. An excellently shielded, quasi-symmetrical, low-capacitance Connect it E RCA cable is included in the scope of delivery and guarantees optimal signal transmission.
