reloop RP-1000 MK2

The sophisticated belt drive in the RP-1000 USB MK2 is among the most powerful of its kind. Unlike a direct-drive turntable, the RP-1000 MK2 transmits power indirectly to the drive hub – the precision-engineered die-cast platter is thus decoupled from the motor. The elastic and high-quality rubber belt absorbs vibrations and ambient noise, resulting in distortion-free playback. The pitch section, with a range of +/-10%, is also suitable for fine tempo adjustments. The RP-1000 MK2 features a statically balanced, S-shaped tonearm with a hydraulic lift and anti-skating mechanism. A universal connection for cartridge systems allows for a variety of cartridges to be connected. The new top-panel design in elegant deep black metallic is equipped with revised metallic buttons for start/stop and speed. The improved stop provides clear tactile feedback. With the push of a button, the aluminum needle light can be extended, ensuring that the needle position is easily visible even in the dark. The robust construction with optimized damping properties helps to reduce vibrations, while shock-absorbing feet on the underside of the turntable contribute to further isolation. Included with the RP-1000 MK2 is a high-quality OM Black cartridge system, handcrafted by Ortofon in Denmark, along with a matching headshell.
