RPM 5 Carbon

RPM 5 Carbon in White / Black / Red is the Pro-Ject RPM 5 Carbon is a high-end, belt-driven turntable featuring a distinctive minimalist, teardrop-shaped chassis designed for low resonance. It features a 9-inch carbon fiber "Evo" tonearm, a heavy acoustically inert acrylic platter with an inverted ceramic bearing and a separate motor for superior speed stability.

Key Features:

- 9” cc EVO Tonearm: A one-piece carbon fiber tube that reduces resonance, increases rigidity, and provides improved tracking.

- Isolated Motor Concept: The free-standing 15V AC motor is completely separated from the chassis to prevent vibrations from reaching the cartridge.

- Acoustic-Grade Acrylic Platter: An acoustically inert, 300mm heavy acrylic platter provides a stable, resonance-free surface for records.

- Inverted Platter Bearing: Uses a stainless steel bearing with a ceramic ball and ceramic tip, minimizing rumble and improving speed accuracy.

- TPE-Damped Counterweight: The tonearm counterweight features TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) damping to reduce unwanted resonance.

- Speed Control: Offers manual speed change (33/45 RPM) with a precision DC-driven AC generator.

- Design & Accessories: Features adjustable aluminum tip-toe feet and is available in three high-gloss finishes (black, red, white). Includes a screw-on record clamp and a high-quality RCA phono cable.

- Without Cartridge: Allows for personal selection of high-end cartridges.
