- S-shaped tonearm made from carbon fiber, aluminum and resin for both rigidity and internal dampening

- decoupled AC motor with stable DC power supply (the motor is independent / separate from the body of the turntable)
- pre-mounted with SumikoĀ Rainier Cartridge ($179 when purchased separately)

- note: this turntable requires a preamp, and does not come with a dustcover
LAB REVIEW
The visually striking Pro-Ject's RPM 1 Carbon Turntable gets a complete re-design from its RM 1.3 predecessor. Pro-Ject has engineered this turntable to deliver stable, quiet, low-vibration performance resulting in a cleaner sound output. They have achieved this through their signature design features including a decoupled motor (separate from main body to reduce vibrations) that runs on stable DC power and a newly designed carbon tonearm and platter bearing. Lastly, the RPM 1 comes pre-mounted with Sumiko's qualityĀ Rainier Cartridge (on its own, retails for $149).
KEY FEATURES
- coned feet
- TPE-damped counterweight
- new magnetic antiskating mechanism
- note: in order to change speed (33/45rpm), you will adjust the belt around the circular motor drive.
- note: does NOT include dustcover
- 15 x 4.33 x 13.8" / 380 x 110 x 350 mm
- 8.4 lbs. / 3.8 kg
COMES WITH
- pre-mounted SumikoĀ Rainier Cartridge
- removable RCA cable
