Description
Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon Manual Turntable with Sumiko Moonstone Cartridge
Pro-Ject’s RPM 3 Carbon turntable utilizes evolutionary enhancements to improve the performance of the RPM series: A low resonance chassis holds an inverted platter bearing with a ceramic ball for a reduced rumble. An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with a DC power supply for further enhanced speed stability. A 10“ S-shaped tonearm tube is made from carbon fiber, aluminum, and resin. Using a complex 3-step process with heat treatment and 100bar pressure, arm tube rigidity is strengthened, internal damping is maximized and resonances are reduced to a minimum. This makes the tonearm also suitable for MC cartridges. The RPM 3 Carbon features a magnetic anti-skating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight. All ingredients add up to a miracle in sound for the price and ultra-stylish look!
