Pro-Ject RPM 5 Carbon Turntable
The RPM 5 Carbon utilizes radical concepts, including many innovations that originate from its big brother, RPM 9 Carbon. A new, low resonance chassis holds an inverted platter bearing with a ceramic ball for reduced rumble. This inverted platter is made from acrylic and is acoustically inert.
An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with DC power supply for enhanced speed stability. The 9"cc EVO tonearm, which is made from carbon fiber, is suitable for any high-quality MM or MC cartridge.
Available in Piano Black, Red, or White finishes.
Ingenious styling for audiophile listeners!
