Pro-Ject has engineered this turntable to deliver stable, quiet, low-vibration performance resulting in a cleaner sound output. They have achieved this through their signature design features including a decoupled motor (separate from main body to reduce vibrations) that runs on stable DC power and a newly designed carbon tonearm and platter bearing. Lastly, the RPM 1 comes pre-mounted with Sumiko's quality Rainier Cartridge (on its own, retails for $149).</p> <h4>🔑 KEY FEATURES</h4> <ul> <li>motor type: belt-drive</li> <li>operation type: fully manual</li> <li>phono preamp: yes, switchable</li> <li>speeds: 33 RPM, 45 RPM</li> <li>tonearm shape: straight</li> <li>counterweight setting: yes</li> <li>anti-skate setting: yes</li> <li>VTA / height adjustment: yes</li> <li>detachable headshell: n/a</li> <li>body material: MDF wood</li> <li>platter material: MDF wood</li> <li>outputs: RCA phono</li> <li>removable RCA: yes</li> <li>dust cover: n/a</li> <li>dimensions: 15.0" (w) x 4.33" (h) x 13.8" (d) / 380 x 110 x 350mm</li> <li>weight: 8.4 lb / 3.8 kg</li> </ul> <h4>📦 COMES WITH</h4> <ul> <li>pre-mounted cartridge</li> <li>RCA cable w/ ground wire</li> </ul>
