Description
Manual Turntable with 8.6” Carbon Tonearm
Entry into the RPM World
The RPM 1 Carbon incorporates numerous innovations and improvements: a low-resonance chassis supports a newly designed inverted platter bearing with a ceramic ball to further reduce unwanted vibrations. An external 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with continuous DC power supply for enhanced speed stability. A completely new S-shaped tonearm tube is crafted from carbon fiber, aluminum, and resin. Through a complex three-step process involving heat treatment and 100 bars of pressure, the arm tube’s rigidity is strengthened, internal damping is maximized, and resonances are minimized, making the tonearm suitable for MC cartridges as well. Additional features include a new magnetic anti-skating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight.
The RPM 1 Carbon is available with or without the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. A shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance Pro-Ject Connect it E phono cable is included.
