RPM 3 Carbon

Manual turntable with 10” carbon tonearm

The entry into the RPM world

RPM 3 Carbon utilises evolutionary enhancements to improve the performance of the RPM series: A low resonance chassis holds an inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for further reduced rumble. An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra precision AC generator with DC power supply for further enhanced speed stability. A 10 S-shaped tonearm tube is made from carbon fibre, aluminium and resin. Using a complex 3-step process with heat treatment and 100bar pressure, the arm tube rigidity is strenghtened, internal damping is maximized and resonances are reduced to a minimum. This makes the tonearm also suitable for MC cartridges. Additional features are a magnetic antiskating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight.

The RPM 3 Carbon is available with or without Ortofon 2M-Silver cartridge. A super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance Pro-Ject Connect it E phono cable is included.

REVIEW & AWARDS

Pro-Ject RPM3 Carbon – Read More

“Pro-Ject has done it again in producing a superb package that really works as a whole. The current vinyl revival has yet another bargain turntable to add to the roster of real value for money turntables.

If you are new to hifi and vinyl, coming back into the fold after a long hiatus, or currently strapped for cash you should take a serious look at this turntable.“

Review Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon: to fall in love with -Read More

“It is also a perfect thing for the so-called late majority (a term from the world of lifecycle management). This is a group that is only now discovering that there are also very large black CDs. The phono amplifier offers many qualities, but understandably falls into a slightly higher price segment. In conclusion, it may be noted that such a bright red RPM 3 is actually a thing to fall in love with a little. ” – Ruud Jonker
