PROJECT RPM 5 CARBON 2M BRONZE

Turntable including tonearm and pre-mounted Ortofon 2M BRONZE cartridge, belt drive, 33/45 RPM speeds.

The RPM 5 Carbon represents a radical interpretation of turntable design, incorporating numerous innovations inspired by the superior RPM 9 Carbon model. Its low-resonance chassis houses a newly designed inverted bearing with a ceramic ball, engineered to further reduce background noise and ensure an incredibly smooth platter rotation. The platter, made from acoustically inert acrylic, minimizes unwanted vibrations and preserves the integrity of sound reproduction.

The motor, positioned externally from the main chassis, operates at 15V AC and is powered by an ultra-precision AC generator controlled by a DC power supply. This solution ensures impeccable speed stability, minimizing fluctuations.

The 9-inch EVO tonearm, entirely made of carbon fiber, combines lightness and rigidity for precise, distortion-free tracking. Its construction makes it perfectly compatible with high-quality MM and MC cartridges, offering ideal versatility for superior audio systems. The counterweight, damped with TPE, helps eliminate unwanted resonances, further enhancing playback quality.

The design is completed by adjustable aluminum feet, ensuring optimal isolation from external vibrations and allowing perfect leveling of the turntable.
