Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon Turntable Black - Carbon

High-end Turntable with 9" Evo Tonearm - Beautiful and Smart Design: Carbon Surface and 7.2kg Platter

The RPM 9 Carbon uses a new extra heavy chassis that features a special CNC machined MDF plate that incorporates steel pellets coated in hard resin to form an extra heavy and precise sandwich structure. A special complex heat treatment and carbon surface coating ensure superior low resonance levels. The mass-loaded chassis is effectively decoupled from its surface by magnetic feet. With two magnets positioned in the feet, the turntable is virtually floating. The pins in the feet are only used to keep them centred. In combination with a new special polished aluminium platter with TPE internal damping and a vinyl layer on top, the inverted ceramic main bearing provides absolutely stable turntable speed with extra low rumble. The extra heavy duty outboard motor unit features precise engine control and an integrated switch between 33 and 45 rpm. Last but not least, the uncompromising 9" Evo tonearm with carbon fibre tapered arm tube and inverted bearing design ensures perfect tracking, even with demanding cartridges.

The RPM 9 Carbon is available with or without an Ortofon Quintet Bronze cartridge. Highly flexible premium copper internal wiring. Supplied with premium 5P "Connect it CC" phono cable with RCA plugs (XLR as an option).
