Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon

The RPM 3 Carbon offers evolutionary advancements of the RPM concept: A resonance-optimized chassis accommodates an inverted platter bearing, whose ceramic ball reduces rumble. The standalone motor unit with a 15V synchronous motor is powered by a precision generator with DC power supply. This ultra-pure power supply for the motor ensures outstanding smoothness and is a rarity. The newly designed S-shaped 10" tonearm utilizes a material mix of carbon fibers, aluminum, and synthetic resin for the tonearm tube. Through a very elaborate 3-stage process, exceptional rigidity, maximum internal damping, and low resonance are achieved using heat treatments under 100 bar high pressure, making this tonearm suitable for MC cartridges as well. Magnetic anti-skating and a TPE-damped counterweight are among the other highlights that make the RPM 3 Carbon a stylish sound marvel.
