Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon

Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon – The gateway to the RPM world

Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon is not just a turntable; it is a fusion of groundbreaking technology and advanced design, created to deliver an unparalleled vinyl experience. With its manual operation and 8.6" S-shaped tonearm made of carbon, aluminum, and resin, this turntable is the ideal choice for both new and experienced vinyl enthusiasts who want to enter the RPM universe.

Highlights

Precision belt drive with synchronous motor: Ensures stable and accurate rotation of the platter.
Ultra-precise DC-driven AC generator motor power supply: Improves speed stability for optimal sound reproduction.
Inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball: Reduces rumble and increases the turntable's lifespan.
MDF platter with felt mat: Provides a resonance-free platform for your vinyl records.
8.6” S-shaped tonearm made of carbon, aluminum, and resin: Uses specialized heat and pressure treatments for maximum rigidity and minimal resonance.
Magnetic anti-skating: Ensures precise tracking of the record groove.
Counterweight with TPE damping: Reduces unwanted vibrations for more detailed sound.

Low-Resonance Chassis and Improved Platter Bearing

The low-resonance chassis is designed to minimize unwanted vibrations and resonances. The inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball reduces friction and ensures stable and precise rotation of the platter, improving the overall sound quality.

External Motor with Precision Control

The external 15V AC motor is driven smoothly using an ultra-precise DC-driven AC generator. This setup ensures improved speed stability, which is crucial for an authentic and uninterrupted listening experience.

Innovative 8.6” S-shaped Tonearm

The newly developed S-shaped tonearm is made from a combination of carbon fiber, aluminum, and resin. Through a complex three-stage process involving heat treatment and 100 bar of pressure, the tonearm's rigidity is strengthened, internal damping is maximized, and resonances are reduced to a minimum. This makes the tonearm suitable for both MM and MC cartridges.

Optimal Sound Reproduction

Magnetic Anti-Skating and TPE-Damped Counterweight
The magnetic anti-skating mechanism ensures precise and balanced playback by counteracting the tonearm's natural tendency to move toward the center of the record. The TPE-damped counterweight further reduces unwanted vibrations, resulting in more detailed and dynamic sound reproduction.
