The low-resonance, carbon-wrapped MDF chassis carries an inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for ultra-low rumble. The acoustically inert platter is made from satinized acrylic. The outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precise AC generator with DC power supply for further speed stability. The premium 9cc Evolution armtube &amp; headshell are made from a single piece of carbon fiber and is suitable for an array of MM and MC cartridges. A TPE-damped counterweight further reduces unwanted resonance in the tonearm section. All told, RPM 5 Carbon represents a multi-faceted approach to getting your records to sound their very best… and at a stunning price when considering its implementations." - Pro-Ject</p> <h4>🔎TECH SPECS</h4> <ul> <li>precision belt drive using free-standing synchronous motor<br> </li> <li>ultra-precision DC-driven AC generator motor power<br> </li> <li>inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball<br> </li> <li>acoustically inert acrylic platter<br> </li> <li>9” cc EVO tonearm made from carbon<br> </li> <li>counterweight with TPE damping<br> </li> <li>adjustable aluminium tip-toe feet</li> <li>tonearm will work with both MM and MC cartridges</li> <li>note: in order to change speed (33/45rpm), you will adjust the belt around the circular motor drive.</li> <li>note: does NOT include dustcover</li> <li>Nominal speeds: 33/45 r.p.m.<br> </li> <li>speed variance 33: 0,12%, 45: 0,10%<br> </li> <li>wow and flutter 33: 0,17%, 45: 0,08%<br> </li> <li>signal to noise: 73dB<br> </li> <li>effective tonearm mass: 8g<br> </li> <li>effective tonearm length: 9 ” (230mm)<br> </li> <li>overhang: 18mm<br> </li> <li>power consumption: 5 W max / &lt;0,3W standby<br> </li> <li>outboard power supply: 15V DC / 800 mA AC, 90-264V AC, 47 – 63Hz<br> </li> <li>12.7 x 16.9 x 5.9" / 323 x 430 x 150 mm</li> <li>17.6 lbs. / 8 kg</li> </ul> <h4>📦COMES WITH</h4> <ul> <li>pre-mounted Sumiko Amethyst Cartridge</li> </ul> <ul></ul> <h6><br></h6>.
