Pro-Ject Audio Systems RPM-1 Carbon Turntable With 2M Silver Cartridge (Made In Europe)(Display Unit)

RPM-1 Carbon utilises a lot of innovations and enhancements: A low resonance chassis holds a newly designed inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for further reduced rumble. An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with DC power supply for further enhanced speed stability. A completely new designed S-shaped tonearm tube is made from carbon fibre, aluminium and resin. Using a complex 3-step process with heat treatment and 100bar pressure, arm tube rigidity is strenghtened, internal damping is maximized and resonances are reduced to a minimum.This makes the tonearm also suitable for MC cartridges. Additional features are a new magnetic anti-skating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight. All ingredients add up to a miracle in sound for the price and ultra-stylish look!FeaturesPrecision belt drive using synchronous motorUltra-precision DC-driven AC generator motor powerInverted platter bearing with ceramic ballPlatter made from MDF using felt mat8,6” S-shaped tonearm made from carbon, aluminium, resin utilising special heat and pressure treatmentsMagnetic anti-skatingCounterweight with TPE dampingSpeed 33, 45 (manual speed change)Drive principle Belt drivePlatter 300 mm MDFMains bearing Stainless steel axle with ceramic ballWow & flutter 33: +/- 0.27% I 45: +/- 0.1%Speed drift 33: +/- 0.14% I 45: +/- 0.13%Signal to noise – 71dBTonearm 8.6” carbon; aluminium and resinEffective arm length 218.5 mmEffective arm mass 13.5 gOverhang 22 mmTracking force 0 – 25mNIncluded accessories 15 volts DC / 500 mA power supplyPower connection 110/240 Volt – 50 or 60 HzPower consumption 5 watt max / < 0,5 watt standbyDimensions 380 x 110 x 350mm (WxHxD)Weight 3.8 kg net
