Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon

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

The Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon is not just a turntable; it is a fusion of cutting-edge technology and advanced design, created to deliver an unrivaled 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 looking to enter the RPM universe.

Highlights

Precision belt drive with synchronous motor: Ensures stable and accurate rotation of the turntable.
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 turntable life.
The MDF turntable with felt mat: Provides a resonance-free platform for your vinyl records.
8.6” S-shaped carbon, aluminum and resin tonearm: Utilizes 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 a more detailed sound.

Low Resonance Chassis and Improved Platter Bearing

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

External Motor with Precision Control

The external 15V AC motor is smoothly driven by an ultra-precise DC-driven AC generator. This setup ensures improved speed stability, which is essential for an authentic and undistorted audio 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-step process of heat treatment and 100 bar 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 pickups.

Optimal Sound Reproduction

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