Designed to be a versatile gateway to the universe of vinyl, the RPM 3 Carbon is a stylish and affordable high-performance belt-drive turntable that uses techniques developed by Pro-Ject to improve the level of quality for which it has earned such a reputation. the RPM series. Thus, in a chassis with very low resonance and unmistakable minimalist design, RPM 3 Carbon mounts a 300 mm thick MDF platter whose rotation system is based on an inverted ceramic bearing, a solution that also allows it to substantially reduce the tremulous. Another detail that reveals the audiophile spirit of the RPM 3 Carbon is the location of the motor in a separate enclosure, also highlighting the fact that said motor is driven using a high-precision alternating current generator from a direct current power source. . But if one element of the new Pro-Ject stands out from the others, it is undoubtedly the sophisticated 10-inch “S” reading arm that it incorporates, made from carbon fiber, aluminum and resin through a complex 3-step process. steps with high pressure heat treatment (100 bars) included that drastically increases rigidity and internal damping while reducing resonances to a minimum. Also noteworthy is the magnetic anti-slip system used, to which is added a high-quality cushioned counterweight. In short, a beautiful product that integrates elegantly into any domestic space and that dazzles with the directness and authority of its sound.
