Project RPM 1 Carbon Turntable
Project's RPM series is the turntable manufacturer's mid-level range and consists of a number of high-performance turntables. Models within the RPM series have taken home a vast number of excellent and highly-regarded awards from the likes of What Hifi, Hifi Choice and more. The RPM series builds upon the design of the Genie 3, seeing improvements made to the tonearm, bearing and motor design.
The tonearm is built from a carbon fibre/aluminium resin, formed by using a unique heat and pressure process. This results in more solid construction, enhancing the overall anti-resonant capability of the turntable to a standard not usually seen at this price point. Pre-fitted to the arm is an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, and a newly developed magnetic anti-skate mechanism.
The motor unit is entirely decoupled, following a similar design to the Xpression Carbon; powered by an AC generator connected to a new DC power supply. The main bearing is inverted and now features a ceramic ball, allowing for a more fluid and consistent platter rotation.
Available in Red, White or Black high gloss finish, the RPM-1 Carbon is a turntable package that offers truly phenomenal value for money
