Project RPM3 Carbon Turntable - Product Description

The Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon represents a perfect blend of precision, engineering, and contemporary design. This turntable, designed for passionate audiophiles, offers an enriching vinyl experience by extracting minute details and leveraging advanced technology. In this article, let's embark on a journey to explore the captivating facets of this sophisticated audio device.

Low Resonance Chassis

Minimizing Vibrations for Clarity

One of the crucial factors affecting the sonic output of a turntable is its susceptibility to external vibrations. The RPM 3 Carbon's low resonance chassis is made from MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) offering both durability and stability. This thoughtful design helps minimize vibrations, thereby allowing the turntable to reproduce your vinyl recordings with exceptional clarity and detail.

Inverted Platter Bearing

Precision and Smoothness

At the heart of the RPM 3 Carbon lies its precision-engineered inverted platter bearing assembly. Using a ceramic ball located at the bottom side of the platter and a magnetic bearing at the top, this design ensures a smooth, silent, and precise rotation. The result is a more stable and accurate playback, providing a richer listening experience for even the most demanding of listeners.

High-quality Carbon Fiber Tonearm

Unrivaled Tracking Accuracy

A key component in any turntable is the tonearm, and the RPM 3 Carbon features a high-quality 10-inch tonearm made of carbon fiber. This material is not only strong and lightweight but also has exceptional resonance-dampening properties, ensuring a highly accurate and precise tracking of your vinyl records. The carbon fiber tonearm extracts every last detail from the grooves, resulting in a lifelike and immersive soundstage.

Decoupled Motor

Eliminating Unwanted Interferences

The Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon turntable comes equipped with a decoupled motor to further minimize unwanted vibrations and interferences. Suspended separately from the main body, the motor dissipates vibrations, allowing the turntable to deliver a pure and clean sound. This feature is essential for a premium vinyl playback, ensuring that the audio output remains unblemished by external influences.

Fine Tuning with Counterweights

Balancing the Sweet Spot

The RPM 3 Carbon includes a pair of adjustable counterweights that allow you to fine-tune the turntable's balance. This fine-tuning ensures that the tonearm is balanced perfectly and the stylus remains in the sweet spot throughout the record's playing time. By achieving the optimal balance, the turntable ensures you get the best performance from your cartridge, delivering a rich and detailed sound.
