OVERVIEW
Value-based belt-driven turntable with 8.6″ carbon fiber S-shaped tonearm and outboard motor!
RPM 1 Carbon utilizes revolutionary enhancements to improve the performance of the RPM series. A new, low resonance chassis holds an inverted platter bearing with a ceramic ball for further reduced rumble. An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with DC power supply for enhanced speed stability.
The 8.6″ S-shaped tonearm tube is made from carbon fiber, aluminum and resin. A complex 3-step process uses heat treatment and 100 bar pressure to strengthen arm tube rigidity, maximize internal damping, and reduce resonances to a minimum. This process makes the tonearm suitable for MM or MC cartridges. Additional features are a magnetic anti-skating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight. All ingredients add up to a miracle in sound and an ultra-stylish look!
